i saw a guy get set on fire because of a bunch of messing around

I've been on fire at least a dozen times. But nothing serious. I was leaning more towards trash talk at work.

I seen a 30' grain auger jump a few inches and shoot fire out both ends along with a nice loud explosion. A guy left a cutting torch sitting in one of the inspection holes with the acetylene valve cracked open during our lunch break. When he came back and started to weld the flighting to the tube. KABOOM!! no one was hurt, but it was a situation i'll never forget.
 
I love the show and never miss one episode. I even DVR them... Darren, and Josh would be fired quickly and replaced with someone who would want to work...

I plan on going by there one day on vacation just to see the place.. I wish I could download some of Marks knowledge....
 
I'd rather drill out spot welds than watch those clowns......:icon_thumbdown:

No offense to those who enjoy the show...just not my gig.

I think the guy is a talented bodyman, but I very much get the impression that a lot of his his restoration "knowledge" is learn-as-you-go.

Dick not to disagree with you at all, but isn't everyone's knowledge of restorations learn as you go... I know I learn more & more, after every car I do, even if it's not a supposedly 1000 pt. 100% OEM correct restoration...LOL... "Very Few People/or is it Nobody Else In The World Can Do That" to quote Mark GYC's.... Hopefully the restorations are a flat bids to the customers... I know I would hate to pay him an hourly shop rate, the way he bounces around all over the damn place, not very productive at all... it kind of looks to me like the MoPar restorations are a side gig at the shop & not his main source of income & daily job... All thou his finished products, seem to look very nice on TV, but I don't know if I've ever seen any of his actual restorations in person, ever....
 
Some are negative about the show but you have to take it for what it is. If you would rather watch Chip Foose hack up a Chevy into a cartoon in 24hrs, then watch that kind of show. Its the #1 show on Velocity for a reason. I think it is cool that a show is actually on TV that involves Mopars.

I do agree with you, but..... he proclaims to be a premier restorer, but when you see him reproduce the cosmoline finish on the lower control arms with the knuckle end coated instead of the knuckle area being kept bare and installing fuel lines on an assembled undercarriage (instead of before the suspension was installed), it really makes me wonder.

Also, the place is called Welby's Collision, which pretty much confirms what their main business really is. BTW, I wonder who is Welby is?
 
I have no idea what's wrong with me then because I absolutely LOVE the show. I DVR it and save it for when all the kids are in bed and the wife is doing school work. That way there are no distractions - and I laugh my butt off for the whole hour - sometimes watching it twice. Comedy (scripted or not) along with the coolest cars humans have ever been blessed with is a perfect combination in my book. I'll agree that having not seen one of Mark's resto's in person I am not qualified to judge - but by what is shown on my hi-def screen I haven't seen many restorations any nicer at car the shows I've been to, and I've been to a lot. So... judging by the comments above - and the other 50 threads on here - I and my friends must be absolutely nuts to love this show. Let's see if we can get Mark to bring one of his completed cars to the Nats this August. I'll wager a trackside cheeseburger that most of you will stand in line to see it and talk with him.

And Wheeler Dealers? Please. Rattle can paint jobs, bondo-buggies, and shoe polish? I'll take a Graveyard Car and they can keep their POS. They remind me of the local buy-here-pay-here establishment that does their repairs out back in the mud. They rattle canned a quarter panel on a Porsche, and torched out a floor pan in an Alfa while sparks flew onto the leather seats. Some other crap-box was rattle canned with the convertible top down - good job! Thanks, for the matching interior!

I'm thinking Mark Worman bought out the Welby's, or inherited maybe ?? I don't know for a fact, don't quote me... I wondered the same thing, but I also kind of remember hearing him/Mark say something about a "father in law" teaching him stuff, when he was talking to his "son in law Josh", a few shows back, about Josh taking it over some day... maybe the Welby's name sake was the father in law to Mark ?? maybe is how he got the shop.... maybe ?? I don't know thou...

The big problem as I see it, "is it's the only MoPar related show on TV", the die hard purist MoPar crowd will love anything MoPar related, even if it's total crap, we are so damn brand loyal, sometimes we need to wear blinders...LOL... I don't hate the show, but I also by far "don't Love the show" either, especially the light it puts on the MoPar crowd, the world already thinks were all a little squirrelly already...LOL... I would like to see it made much better, higher quality or it's not going to be around very much longer, it's kind of like a damn train wreck, "you can't help but watch it"... Hopefully it will get better with time or it will be back to just another stupid webcast show, like it originally started out.... even 50% tech & 50% BS or product endorsement crap, instead of the 5%-10% tech & 90%-95% BS & endorsement crap, like it is now... Maybe have product endorsements of MoPar restoration products is fine, show people the products you use, but all the other non-car or tool related BS endorsements, is just plain stupid, waste of air time for everyone but Marks bank account... IMHFO any of those changes & I'm sure I'm not alone in my thoughts, would be a 1000% improvement....

:rofl:


x2 to what Bud said, I don't hate the show, just think it'd be so much better with less Graveyard BS and more Graveyard Carz.

Just watched the newest episode and saw about 3 and a half seconds of what looked like a gorgeous 6 pack Superbee before the whole "chips" drama kicked in...
 
Graveyard sucks. I wish it didn't, but it does! I would be happy with a serious tutorial of bodywork, with good examples, and good narration telling me why you are doing what you are doing. And not another show with hot chick mechanics bolting on junk that I cant afford! Is there room on cable for a serious tutorial series on how to do something? Without hype and drama? Maybe CLC. The Car Learning Channel? Where we can take "how-to's" seriously? Maybe even some "Best-of" you-tube stuff. There are alot of very smart folks out there producing some great "you-tube" how-to's.
