I did not. I do however really like the show and their builds. They seem to be the most genuine of all the shop shows out there. No fake crap just honest, fun back and forth that I bet occurs even when the cameras are not around.

I love Bitchin' Rides. Probably my favorite car show right now.
But I am always left wondering how much such a "moderate" transformation cost the customer. Things like the custom door handles and hood scoops take time. Removing the engine & trans for detailing, installing a S/C LS, complete paint, wheels/ tires/ brakes, full interior, etc, etc. $50k? I doubt it. 75k? More?

Any guesses? I have no idea...

The Impala was Ok not to crazy about the red either but still nice. Overall that is hands down the best car show going on tv. I love the very low drama approach, makes it much more enjoyable to watch.

We got to have lunch there last year and tour their shop during the GG road tour, Dave is super down to earth and they run a very nice shop. Seems to me like the employees and customers WANT to be there rather than HAVE to be there.
