Graveyard Carz Fall 2015

thank you Tony for confirming what i had said all along!
this hater (as some tool on here called me) has some truth behind what he says!

the best oem restorer in the world doesn't even do oem restorations! :jerk:

mark is one of those people who keeps repeating a lie
hoping that it might come true one day.
when i first saw gyc the first thing i thought was
get a load of this tool blowing huge amounts of smoke up people's asses!
the sad thing is in spite of that, i knew that mopar people are so damm hungry for the information, that some would try to make him out to be some kind of hero.
i looked at his show with a open mind hoping to learn
something myself.
i was very disappointed and i wasn't fooled by his bs for a nano second.

stuart got back about what i would expect from that glorified tv body shop..

Whats really sad is your average joe / chevy guy / car show goer , now stop me at car show and quote this guy like he's the God of Mopars . They have no clue
 
the mopar sheeple/novice/newbees are really hungry for the information as
most mopar cars are rusted out roaches 45 years after they were made.
it sucks that it is the only slop available for them on the tube..

they will end up learning the hard way when they copy some of his methods,
and then later learn they destroyed thier parts..lol

Look at this guys, as I edit the season finale (episode 26) of Graveyard Carz, I cannot help but appreciate the craftsmanship and care that went into this restoration.

It's easy for people to pick things apart and stand on their little mound and feel important, but they are not the ones spending two or three years of their life giving these cars new life. A laundry list of issues will happen with any restoration shop - these cars had a laundry list of issues when they left the lot! Difference is - you now have a beautiful car that's restored! It's not rusted and held together by duct tape! It's frickin beautiful! Personally, I'd take the fully-restored car with the laundry-list of things that will be fixed then going back to what I had before.

But people will never look at it like that. Instead, they will do everything they can to try and one up you. They will grab their camera, take a closeup of the gap of the decklid and say how atrocious it is - they will try and tell you that if you take on a collision job, that you're responsible for the entire car regardless of the condition of how it arrived - they will confidently tell you you are wrong when you tell them that "Yes, the only distinction in the VIN's between a Roadrunner and a Superbird was the 'U' code. Nothing else in the VIN classified it as a Superbird" (I bet many people here will still try and argue otherwise) - the point is, it's easy to **** on someones hard work or intelligence. It shows how decent of a human being you are to take a deep breath and appreciate the hard work that went into everything that you couldn't tear apart - and maybe accept that you learned something.

This will be my final post here as the negativity in general - even outside of this thread - is just unbearable. I wish this community good luck.

You mentioned some fine points of which are not to be taken personally, that's not your job. Loosen your wrapping a little, it's not your fault and I would suggest not doing what so many have done including myself is to cut your nose to spite your face!!!

The most recent episode Mark stated at the end of the show "Even though we are the best in the world"

If you make a claim of that magnitude. 1. You will have to live up to that standard 2. Deal with criticism.

I was surprised to hear this about '70 RRs on last night's show. I had never heard it before and wondered if it's accurate. If so, wow - I really earned something new. I thought I kind of knew a lot of this kind of thing about Mopars already, but this was news to me.

Were you around dealers when these cars were new? I think not, I suspect a wee bit before your time by the sound of it. I was, matter of fact I cut my teeth working PDI at a couple of Chrysler Plymouth dealers back in the day. True, few cars arrived at the dealer without some issues, but they never left the dealer, or were delivered with a “laundry list” of issues. You know where “laundry list” of problems are common, even today? Body shops, even shops that turn out the best body & paint work typically are lacking in mechanical or electrical detail. Very common to have come backs for rattles or to fix electrical items not functioning after repairs in the body shop world. A quality full restoration will not include a “laundry list” of problems having to fixed after delivery. A quality full restoration shop would not deliver, or turn loose, a completed restoration project with a laundry list of problems no matter how pretty the body & paintwork is.

As for photos of deck lid gaps, if that’s a reference to the pictures posted of the work performed on the green ’70 Charger a while back, atrocious is the only word that describes some of that collision work those photos represent. No excuse for sloppy/missing structural welds and missing suspension fasteners, not to mention paint runs and very poor gaps anywhere. I understand a body tech lost his job over it, rightly so I suppose, but where was the quality control at what is claimed to be the “World’s best Mopar restoration shop”?

I’ve watched the show from the start for the work being performed, struggled to sit through the pumpkin carving contests and other BS. Have observed many incorrect or omitted details like the ***-backwards LCA cosmoline replication paint scheme from early on, door/quarter panel installations without moisture barriers to name a couple. Typical for average repair work mostly, not a big deal for me if it wasn’t for the constant claims of being the “best in the world” and “no one in the world can do what we do”.

And yes, I’ve spent many years bringing back several of these cars from the dead myself. Not to mention many more years past servicing countless numbers of them at dealers.

Question: you keep saying over and over and over, he's called us names. If I look back, he was first called a "troll" . Did he call you, or anybody, names ?
