Well, considering Mark is only as good as the body guy, the paint guy, the assembler, etc - yes - "our cars" (referring to the cars restored by Graveyard Carz). So, in your logic, Mark would need to win awards personally to be any good at what he does? Does Leonardo DiCaprio need to win an Oscar before we accept him as a good actor?
How is Mark a hack? Do you know him personally? Or do you just like throwing disrespectful judgments out like their candy? Never in my life have I ever looked at someone in life or on television and completely judged them like that. It's dumbfounding to me.
It sounds like to me that you just don't care for the show or Mark, which I guess is fine. Sorry you can't appreciate the value these restored cars bring to the Mopar community.

Yeah, my fingers got ahead of me. We have a 70 Hemi Charger R/T. Waltens was a 72 Charger Rallye. My bad.

Pretty sure that was a typo they got it right on their facebook page lol Man such hate lmao
"The Walton's 1972 Charger Rallye is now in the assembly room. Just installed the restored A/C Heater Box by Classic Auto Air. Just like with Instrument Specialties inc they are the best at what they do."

Each episode of Graveyard Carz (and every other show on Velocity) is 43 minutes and 30 seconds without commercials. That means no matter what, you are guaranteed to just under 17 minutes of commercials. There is six commercial breaks throughout the episode.
It's no surprise we have sponsors. Tony's Parts is a big one, and AMD is another big one. You will see AMD in the first episode, and in the second episode. Personally, I found it really cool to see how they rebuilt the Phantom Cuda and I'm quite surprised people don't see that as car-work but as some commercial. Whether it plugs AMD or not, it's still showing a car get a new lease on life - how is that a bad thing? How does that make you want to mute or turn the channel?
Most shows would NEVER show a car get handled by a third-party company and yet, at GYC, we break the mold.
When the first episode was shot, it was back in April when we didn't have a lot of content shot for the new season - and people said in feedback they wanted to see more work done on the cars. So we showed them every step of this engine install. Is it our best episode? No. Is it better than our Season Pilot? By 1000x!!! But it's all in the eye of the beholder.
The show's pace does quicken in the next episode. And you will see in Episode 20, we show you the entire build of the 340 Cuda. In Episode 24, we show the entire build of our 440 Six Pack Challenger, and in 25, we show you the entire build of the 70 Hemi Charger R/T.

how about i have worked in the restoration industry before and
i know a hack when i see one.
if you are going to talk the talk
then walk it also...
it didn't take me long to figure him out..
you want to give this guy all this credit
what do you have to back it up besides your obviously biased words?
a real national award might show me a little something
i guess not..
so big deal you are a happy customer
he is a glorified hyped up tv body shop and nothing more.
no substance, just like the kardashions!
the word restoration is thrown around very loosely these days, to
the point i don't think many know what it really means anymore.
when you paint something that should be plated it is not restoring it..lol

you are exposed!

Your attention to detail is amazing. Your restorations must be something to behold. You cant even keep up with this conversation. He works on the production crew that films the show. Pay attention

to be honest i wasn't paying much or any attention to his bs postings at all
until he quoted me and called my opinion names.
now that i see he is a cameraman there,
i can understand why he holds the opinion he does
even thou i don't agree with it.

Well personally, I love the show. I have watched every episode and will keep watching. I have watched some episodes more than once as it is great reference for my own build. I have no issues with AMD and Tony's being sponsors. Anyone on here watched the movie 'The Intern' with Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson? Now that's advertising a product. If it's good enough for Hollywood then why not GYC. You gotta pay the bills somehow. I'm sure anybody in business would love to have free stuff for promoting other people's products. It's not shameless, it's just good business. Build on Mark, I can't wait to see the next episode.

Wow. First off, welcome 4268Hemi! You are not Mark. You speak and write very well, articulate and obviously educated. I've spoken with Mark via Chat several years ago, in fact I was #1524 (I think) 'Like' on his GYC Facebook page, and you and he have different writing and speaking styles. I can appreciate the time it takes to edit a show as I had some exposure with the Audio Visual soldiers in my Brigade back in Iraq; we had to buy some G4 (or was it G5) computers that had the computing power (back in 2004) to render the massive graphic files to make a 5-10 minute graphics-heavy movie for our unit. It is no easy or simple feat for sure! As is restoring these cars!
Some people here actually do the heavy work that is required in restoring these cars, some are garage hacks whom lack the tools, skills, time and or money to actually render something into the 'done' category, this is a fact of life. In my lane I do the Media Blasting as some of you know. This in itself is a complete process, can't count how many guys bring me their 'perfect' car that "looks good" only to find out after blasting that the end state costs just increased by a factor of 3 over the dream figure he had in his mind. So, 4268Hemi I can read that you're legitimate in your claims and information you shared. This Mopar community is actually rather small, for sure there IS 6 degrees of separation in our network of Moparness!
As I said earlier I am sticking with GYC, and I wish the show the best. One thing about life that is unchangeable is that everything changes, all the time in life, and we have to change with it. Kudos to Josh for being silent on all Social Media about his situation. Daren didn't tell me he was given 35k for his Challenger, nor was he offered a continuation of his job on GYC! Man, we make choices, and we have to live with them! The old GYC was sort of like the bantering I enjoyed and participated in in the US Army for 21 yrs! The old GYC was like sitting in an open Latrine next to a bunch of other smelly *** soldiers and you ask the guy three crappers down to pass the toilet paper, then stand up and wipe your nasty *** for all the other grunts to see, yeah, nothing is secret in the Band of Brothers!

Hey, thanks so much for the comment and thanks for serving our country and making the tough decisions for freedom. The friendly bantering isn't gone, it's just a different feel. Will and Mark have some great moments together and what's fun is Will can deflect and dish it right back. It's refreshing to see someone who can appreciate that kind of interaction - it's the same interaction I have with my fellow filmmakers.
But the show is going to feel different. Each episode tries to bring a particular focus to a specific step in a restoration and a crew member so you can learn more about him/her. It's got brand new music, with a editorial style that's more dynamic and hopefully more engaging. Ultimately, I want the show to be great for as many people as possible and that's not for selfish reasons - I get paid the same no matter what.

Wow, in this thread we have Mark pretending to be a GYC basher, a GYC film producer, Daren (Chipz), and us TV viewers whom share a common interest in Mopars! THIS is interesting! Daren, go get your job back!

lol Daren really needs your attention. With no disrespect to Daren, he will try and convince you he's the victim. He will try and say parts were stolen from his car, even though he was aware of it and his car sold for $35,000 and signed a hold-harmless; he will try and say he was fired by text, which he technically was 'texted' this but was later told that was 'said in out of anger from Mark', and was asked to return to the show and eventually decided he "rather rub Mark's name in the mud"; he will try and discredit Mark anyway he can, and if he says he hasn't been paid for his involvement in the show, that's true. We have his money ready to begin dispersing that he refuses to take, you should ask him why.
So I leave warning you all.
