Fantom Works is pretty good... Watch an episode last night. I like the fact that they actually discuss the cost of the builds
$97k for the ground up on the Impala... Ouch... Lucky to sell that car for half of that.... But that's what it costs with all the labor to restore a car like that. Illustrates how expensive this hobby is and how you better be doing this because you love the car, not as an investment

WHat I don't understand about that show is that when the customer comes to pick up the car, it's always sticker shock. It's as if the customer has never been kept involved in the billing end, or given approval to spend that kind of money on the project. Would never fly in CA

That wouldn't fly any where!!! again it's just a show. I have not watched a whole show of Fantom works but what's with the claim to the biggest shop in the us?? Do they mean sq ft or by the amount they produce? Just wondering!
I found this on the intra-net..it's all pure truth right? Seriously, a little research will tell you they're at least genuine car guys. And that black f40 is soo cool. Don't focus on the show so much but the two main guys. I would wager There's way more tv production there than we think. Sadly it will inevitably get more campy as it goes...

Going back to one of my posts about wishing there was a show about barn finds, I toured the Coker tire facility yesterday and apparently Corky Coker will have a show on barn finds on the Travel channel in the fall.
