Man that Nomad was BRIGHT! I'm slightly embarrassed that I liked the color but was bummed when I saw them sticking a 350 in it.

Those guys don't seem to look up when building these cars. When they showed shots of Jr. driving it, the headliner looked all yellowed and stained. Maybe it was just the lighting, I don't know. It looked crappy. They also never showed the chassis done. They do show body and paint work being done with a rusty nasty frame. They are fun though!

What is funny is Dale drove into his shop with the bad ass 67, and then latter, he was happy with their work. The two do not compare.

I hate to say it, but I liked the color.

I wonder if they fixed all those issues after it was finished,

In general I think those guys are total dumbasses and wouldn't have them build me a riding lawnmower let alone a car

I'm with you on this... can't stand to watch TV rebuild shows... Too much Hollywood not enough reality. More emphasis on the drama and not enough on the tech... but of course then only guys like us would watch right?!?!?

Funny thing is that before the TV show all I ever saw out of Gas Monkey here at local shows were Ratrods. Nothing shiny, nothing modern.

I've got a friend that used to work with Aaron and said that he is the real deal. What you see on the TV show doesn't even give a glimpse of what what the man can really do.


I know people behind the scenes with Counting Cars and it is more of the same... all about the drama. You never see the guys that actually do the builds and work on the cars. It's all just propped up for the TV show.

If you ever see the rerun of Overhaulin where they surprise Chip by ruining his truck, look at his face. Doesn't look real happy. How do a bunch of half asses build something for someone like that? I guess it's the thought that counts.

I'm pretty sure that car was done as a giveaway, something for a Mountain Dew promotion, not Dale Jr's personal car. I think there was a blurb across the bottom of the screen towards the end of the show that said something to the affect of "Enter to win Jr's Nomad at blahblahblah.com..."
