They probably edit out him grabbing his crotch all day long.

It will become just like all the "reality" shows..... They start off "real" and then as it succeeds it becomes all staged and set up.... Corporate sponsors, product placements, celebrity appearances etc etc

The whole shop sure did expand all of a sudden.... Lots of expensive equipment etc.... Likely provided by the TV production company and net work....

I kinda thought the same thing about al the equipment.Richard is so cheap and only care's about making a quick buck.Anybody like that would never spend ton's of money on super nice high dollar tool's.Also notice all the big dollar toolbox's that showed up as soon as they moved into the new building.Just like OCC.

A majority of the builds on a lot of these shows are all staged and paid for by the network.... The "owner" is just part of the script.

If you keep your eyes in the background, a lot of these builds are still sitting in the shop during filming of episodes months and years later.....they never actually go out to the "owner"

GSM took a huge jump in the shop and equipment... That wasn't paid for by flipping cars over 6 months

The F40 episode is a perfect example...... No way GSM actually planned and paid for that....

The show amuses me. I've accepted that the majority of the cars that come out of the shop are not "finished" cars but built to a point left for the new owners to add their own flair.

Its much better than the Street Outlaws show. Somebody tell me how those guys can have a show but somehow Pro-Touring doesnt. A televised race series would be great. Just follow Goodguys around with a film crew. As a bonus, we'd find out who the a$$hats are that are messing with shocks.

Those guys have a show because more people can relate to street racing than guys running around cones at a car show for bragging rights and a plastic trophy. I enjoy watching guys try to hook 1500+ legit HP on concrete for thousands of dollars in cash. It makes me giggle because I was one of them at one time.

I'm curious if Miller Lite is a sponsor. If not, they're getting a lot of free air time.

I like the show! I think it's funny and entertaining, do I think they do great work no but they do make some pretty cool rat rods! At least he's probably making money in this industry good for them!!!! As for Dew and Jr. it's a no brainer to have a build done and have it on tv is way cheaper than commercials.

Exactly, notice how in the last few "builds", there wasn't even a headliner installed.. it's TV, that's all...
