I'm not sure if I heard correctly, but I thought I heard the term "boxed" used when they were talking about the control arms. _If_ they were boxed then I guess that's ok, but if it were my car I'd rather see some heavy duty tubular lower control arms like Total Control's or Global West's.

Easy access to the back seat, let alone the front; the fold-down clears the diagonals by a quarter inch; and the way he shot the holes into the trunk, I still can't believe the precision.

Something tells me the > owner would never have finished it considering the shape it was in. I just watched the show on tape last night (Wednesday 8-18) and I had the same thought. They took Grandpa's 6-cyl fb and removed (1) the entire drivetrain, including the axle (replacing it with a 347 FRRP crate motor, a 5-spd, and (probably) a 9-inch), (2) the entire front clip, including the cowl, (3) the rear quarter panels, (4) the floor pans, and (5) every stitch of the interior, including the headliner. I hope they also replaced the door skins, but I fear they just bondo'd the rust that they discovered late in the game. So what was left of Gramps's car? The roof and the rear wheel wells, and maybe the doors? Point being, they did what they had to do, but that was no longer Grampa's heirloom they had in the garage at the end of the show. 180 Out TS 28 > I hope they also replaced the door skins, but I fear they just bondo'd > the rust that they discovered late in the game. The doors didn't look bad. If there was anything in them it was small and they likely patched it. > So what was left of > Gramps's car? The roof and the rear wheel wells, and maybe the doors? Backseat area and floor.... ;) > Point being, they did what they had to do, but that was no longer > Grampa's heirloom they had in the garage at the end of the show. They could have saved more of the front, but it would have been a hell of alot more work and time. In a case like this... Grandpa's heirloom was worthless anyway so why not make it the new and improved version. Hell, I'd let them have their way with Shug if I thought they would put 500 horses under the hood! | > QUESTION: But was this really a rebuild or a replace?

They replaced from the firewall up and at least one of the rear quarter panels. They aptly nicknamed it "The Rustang". Imagine if the guy had to pay to have all of that done. I agree, it prolly would have never happened. I too loved what she did with the intrior. I sort of wondered about the remark that she had been gone from the show for awhile and then she thanked them profusely for the opportunity to do the job. I wonder if she got fired and then they gave her one more chance. | I thought it was excellent, and I got some ideas for mine from it... | Loved what Moto did with the upholstery.... craft(wo)manship!

I wonder if she got fired > and then they gave her one more chance. She wasn't gone from the show... this is the only episode she's been in. She had stopped working making custom interiors for awhile. This show was her first one back doing it. Other than Chip Foose and the hosts, the crew doing the work seems to rotate with new people each episode. My guess is that they get people from each local area to keep costs down and to prevent anyone else from becoming a 'star' of the show. And I thought about the cost for the moment, even if the show is being charged near full cost - freebies (product placement ads really) for the car it's a pretty cheap show to make as television goes these days. Now how do I get them to do my maverick? :) I'd like to know how to get them to do my GT-40 and my AC Cobra.... especially since I don't own either one....... I'd let them do either for a Christmas show! It was a tough call, but they did do an outstanding job.... With far less to do, I have been waiting since the end of February for my 65 FB to be finished. But, there's no crew and no product placement ads and television to rush it along. But that's OK. I'd rather have it done right the first time.... just itchin' ta hit the road! >> I thought about that too, the replacement parts.

The insurance estimated a year for paint alone unless I paid BIG money up front. (MAACO would have done it in a couple of days... LOL). Just some things that came up unexpectedly which could not be foreseen... like a local calling down the Sheriff's Office without just cause, but it did result in delays. And a spate of bad weather where humidity and temp prevented going forward. I'm not complaining about the time...

I'm wondering how many body shop owners around the country, along about the sixth month that they've held a customer's car in paint jail, are hearing something like, "Well they primered, blocked and painted the whole car in TWO DAYS on American Hotrod/Overhaulin'/Pimp My Ride." 180 Out TS 28 LMAO!

MAACO would have done it in a week IF I didn't care about any body work, or masking, or overspray, or.... I think they send a truck over to the Unemployment Office and pick up half a dozen guys to block sand and dump 'em back off at noon. Years ago, a buddy and I took his car to bakersfield to Earl "I'll paint any car for only $39.95" Scheibe.... whose manager said any filler had to be removed and redone. Higher price for better paint. "Oh, you're in the service? Let me see what I can do... {clicking of calculator keys....} I can knock off 10%. That brings it to $625.87." We drove back to Mojave. My buddy rented lights, a sprayer, bought paint, and in his garage turned out a very sweet paint job for about $150. Of course the garage walls, ceiling, and floor were a mess.... Anyway. The best estimate I got on repaint of the 66 Fastback I just sold (which had a MAACO paint job when I got it) was two weeks and a couple of grand, and I would be allowed to do some of the disassembly and reassembly work to keep costs down. That guy has been written about in Hot Rod Magazine, and others for his custom work. But he doesn't do insurance work. I even had shops refuse the work because it interfered with their insurance work. So, if anyone says they saw it don in a couple of days on some TV show, the shop is gonna KNOW they have a live one on the hook....

There's a place not 2 minutes' walk from my house that's called so + so's "Classic Auto Body" My friend, thinking, ok, classic auto body, they'll do my car, takes his '66 Falcon down to have it professionally sprayed. "Sorry, we only do insurance work." Seems like most of the places around my town *only* do insurance work. When I had the '86 Capri sprayed, I went to a guy that I found out from a guy who knew a guy who knew a guy... like paint jobs are a big secret 'round here unless you wreck your car.

Also you have to move to L.A. Because half the show consists of Chris and Courtney dicking around with the "victim" the show has to be set in L.A. 180 Out TS 28 |
