i Thought I Would Give Graveyard Carz Another Try

[fatecaptured]

I've been absent from this site for quite some time. I'm getting caught up on the threads. I've just read this one all the way through.
I agree with some that there are allot of cry baby's on here. If you watch T.V. you watch drama. Like stated before this is the only all Mopar show to be had. I remember getting so upset with T.V back in the day before DVR. I'd only get to see one or two shows a season Mopar related. I got so sick of Chevy and Ford sh%^ being played every week.

I talked to Mark on Facebook about my 72 Charger Rallye just after I bought it. I shared pictures with him and asked for advice on where to locate different parts. He was very cool. He didn't call me "Long Turd" one time.

I like his show because its informative and my 13 year old daughter loves to watch it with me. It makes her happy to see these awesome cars restored. She dreams of the day she see's my projects finished and gets to drive them.

I also enjoy the horse play. I hang out at a buddy's garage all the time and we're constantly talking trash. Not as cleanly as they do on GYC I might add. It's what friends do. Quit complaining like a bunch of old women. I only wish I had the funds to be able to have Mark and the boys restore my cars.

As for the cost I'm not at liberty to say, but what I can say is my car is basically getting a nut and bolt restoration as close to OE specs as possible for less than it would cost me to buy a 2014 Grand Cherokee SRT8.

Not to come off as a jerk or anything, but why aren't you at liberty to say what the cost is? I know most everyone on here posts what resto shops are charging them, and it's an effective gauge for us to tell whether or not we're getting a fair deal, what market trends are, etc. Are you not at liberty to say, or prohibited from saying by some agreement?

I'm just interested to know if a vendor would do that, or is it something along the lines of you get a discounted rate for allowing them to use the car for the show and Worman doesn't want everyone with a broke down Mopar pestering him to get their car on the show.

That's wonderful. Of course, I also know there are lots of people who think spending an hour watching Keeping Up The Kardashians or Here's Honey Boo Boo are conscious broadening and entertaining ways to spend their time too, so I guess I'll keep acting like an old woman and devote my viewing time to TV shows that I can learn something interesting from rather than be amused by behavior I would never condone in my own business. But that's just me... I'm a different kind of cat.

Because I own the 70 Hemi Charger he is restoring........that's why!!!!!!

All I wanna know is are you going to be on the show? If so we are gonne need those fbbo hats and or shirts pronto. And a shout out would be nice too

Now they're on a 20 minute advertisement segmunts. It seems the only info is the lame questions between breaks. AAARRRGGGHHH!!!

hemi*guy are you going to marilla this summer I would like to see the car in person and a friend said you would have it there ?? nice ride

I'll admit the way these guys act on this show really got on my nerves, and then I remembered my 3 years spent as a USMC recruiter in Chicago. That was a brutal work environment and I'm betting pretty much anybody that has ever worked in a competitive sales job would say GYC is pretty tame. Remember that movie Glengary Glen Ross?

Hmmm. Guess bashing me and my intelligence is your forte. Well go ahead. Amuse yourself. Better yet, film and produce a better show! You might get some criticism like what your dishing out..

The fakeness of the drama is a bit of a bother, but I like doing the trivia during the commercials, my family thinks I am a genius cause I can answer all the questions :sunny:

My car is not supposed to be completed until spring of next year. The first restoration shop I had my car at was in Arkport N.Y. about 60 miles from Marilla... NOT A GOOD EXPERIENCE!!!!!!!!!!

I know I don't know much about retoration shops. but I did like this years shows a lot better than the previous ones. I think they realize we need more tech & how to on the show & they did that this year. But I agree that drama is probably what tv wants. I just hope they can continue with the show & let us Mopar guys & converts watch something worth while.

Like the show. Dislike the antics, especially Darren. But I have never heard of the "raisin bran" hood thing.

Really? Never heard of a raisin bran hood? I have never heard the cuda hood referred to as such, but I always called the 69 and 70 ramcharger hoods raisin bran hoods.

Sonny cannot remember hearing the "Raisin Bran" referral ......
I think Sonny must be:iamwithstupid:

2 scoops.

Come on...WAY too easy.

Yea well, :iamwithstupid: I get the 2 scoops crap inferences, but I've personally never heard them referred to as a "Raison Bran Hood" ever... maybe it's an east coast or mid west deal...

 

[72Fourspeed]

It just sounds stupid to me. We always referred to them as the Rallye or domed hoods.

 

[Budnicks]

I still haven't watched last weeks DVR-ed show... I'll hold my constructive critique's until then...

 

[YY1]

Heard it in 1990 and laughed pretty hard. Must not have caught the show reference.

I keep watching it - mostly with the mute on - to see more of that '67 R/T that looks to belong to Royal - the info on the cars is great - but the bickering is BS - Daren would be fired and sent packing if that were my shop - but then I wouldn't treat my guys like Mark does either -
