In this regard, the show is actually pretty realistic. Most of us know that there is not much money in building wrecks to sell.
I like Edd , is that a crime

Re: Anyone see the 69 K20 on Fantom Works

Garage squad also did this 67 K20 with a 72 front clip. They did an LS swap and turbos too. I didn't realize they rolled it though. That's a bad deal.

Re: Anyone see the 69 K20 on Fantom Works

Glad to hear I'm not the only one who hates Fantom Works and its' owner.

I enjoy Chasing Classic Cars the most, especially Roger the older mechanic. Although they chase the cars that are too old/expensive for my taste.

Also enjoy the old episodes of American Hot Rod, Graveyard, Road Kill, Bichin rides.

Re: Anyone see the 69 K20 on Fantom Works

I'm surprised Stacey David and the Gear'z show has not been mentioned.

It is hard to find a single show that fits all the criteria. I also want a skill based show without the drama, and not a lot of "modifications". I have liked Mike and Ed for quite sometime. I always felt the labor hours were low, maybe I am just slow!!
Happy Holidays, Bruce

Yup! Don't need to see or care about "deadlines"... Hell you could put a camera up in the corner of a really good shop and run a live feed and I'd rather watch that!

Re: Anyone see the 69 K20 on Fantom Works

I like watching shows on motor trend. I watch street outlaws just because of all the bad assery in those cars. I could live without the bickering and bs but that is a real part of street racing. I was glad when they made garage squad an hour long. They do a good show and seem to do quality work. There should be a 67-72 show though. Shoot, maybe even Dino should have his own show. Haha
