[QUOTE=streetfytr68]I thought that show was utterly pathetic. Directing, producing, and personalities. The premise was flawed at best. I say we all call SRRC today and order up $60K pro built Chevelles. Let's see what happens.
I was think of calling today like I saw the show and asking if he could build be one for $30,000. So i could sell it.
I saw some show on spike on saturday called muscle car that was just actual building of a high dollar car. One of the stars worked for troy trepanier.
It is a pretty good show. NO DRAMA.
I agree, Build or Bust and the Biker Build-off's are leaps and bounds ahead of anything else compareable. How cool would it be to see someone build a car within a time limit at ATS or DSE or see a build-off between DSE, Rad Rides, or Pure Vision? Or even better yet PHR and Hot Rod!
It's starting to make sense. Looks like "Wrecks to Riches" might be a glorified infomercial for Kruse International. I suppose they're not too thrilled with Barrett-Jackson's TV exposure. And I guess Barry White is in the same boat with Boyd Coddington and American Hot Rod.
I for one wasnt too impressed. I like the show "Rides" a lot better... atleast there they dont B.S. about stupid stuff like having that car cost $30,000 to build... I agree with Steve here, they never mentioned how much it cost him to PAY all his workers to build the dang thing. I too noticed how 'certain sponsors' were highlighted, while others seemed to "drop the ball" like the whole paint deal.
Nothing against Mr. White, i think he's a good builder, but did you notice the only time he touched the car was to point out that the passenger fender was out of alignment?
The show was a pathetic attempt to compete with Boyd's show... I dont think i'd watch it again.
Oh yea, and the name of the car was LAAAAAMMMEEE!!! Why not just call it "Super duper Magic go fast thing-a-ma-bob"....
$30,000 my butt!
Sorry, i but i liked Full Throttle with the twin dorks way better. (which btw, i wish Full throttle was still on TV! Now that was entertaining!)
The whole show is to promote SRRS and there line of Super Muscle Cars.
There is one (Blue Ford) on the cover of this months Hot Rod. Same Stripe effect with SMC in it.
What gets me going is the average person is watching this and thinking they can double there money if they go out and buy a muscle car and fix it up.
It will cause the prices to come up again.
