New mopar restoration TV Show

[old tired rebel]

Is this going to be an hour or a half hour long ? does anybody know yet ?

I guess that depends on who picks them up. I personally would like to see hour shows.

Program Duration

Is this going to be an hour or a half hour long ? does anybody know yet ?

Currently the pilot show is a one hour program. However, like some of you have said here it will depend on the networks and their time slots.

I felt an hour was appropriate because of the amount of content and history on each car that we restore. It takes time to tell the story of the car (which I think each car deserves). It also, as all of you are very aware, takes tons of time to track down previous owner and follow up on leads.

Ultimately we will accept a half hour show to get our foot in the door but continue biding for a one hour time slot.

Thanks everyone again for all your support. Knowing that the Mopar community approves of the show makes it much more enjoyable for me.

Let's keep 'em on the road

an hour would be awesome , but i would settle for a 1/2 hour too just to get it on tv

X2. But I have gotten away from watching a lot of the car shows on TV. They seem to be pushing the same products more than working on the cars.
I hope this won't happen on GYC

I hope for an hour as to see the full car done and back on the road would be a lot of hour shows and hours I would enjoy.

Keep us posted and cant wait. I even looked at shows I tape now and thought well if it comes on at the same time as 24 I guess 24 will go and so on and so on lol.

I found this on Facebook about that "Graveyard Carz" show. It's a 340 6-pak for a Challanger T/A
they resurrected. I don't think the black for the pullies, k-frame, and breather are correct. Not the
plug wires, I think they were orange in color.




Here is a picture of the drivetrain for the Challenger T/A just prior to installation. Note the colorful assembly
line markings, original squeeze clamps on the fuel lines, correct Hemi Orange paint, date coded hoses and
belts, original date coded spark plug wires. This is a great example of the rewarding feeling that comes from
a job well done.

Well, correct...humm, I don't care, as long as they get the carz done!

 

[CoronetRTguy]

I'm not trying to bash on Chip, he does some great Custom work and he is a Super Nice Guy, ...just his work for the most part doesn't impress me much, the level of work he performs is Awesome, he just goes in the wrong direction for me, ...I'm big on Originality.

Im with you there on being original and keeping it that way. I think its great if you doing a Hot Rod and maybe modding some of the new stuff like he does.

I cant wait to hear what channel this will be on and what magazine it will be in. I will have to buy off the news stand.

I just hope they get some sponsors with DEEP pockets so they can do Agent J.

(might be the only way it get's done in my lifetime) lol

The orange spark plug wires didn't start showing up on the assembly line until late 71 and only on electronic ignition cars. The black paint on the pulleys, k member, torsion bars, breather cap, etc...was a 60-75% gloss. I use a full gloss on a car that will be driven to make clean up easy at car shows. Semi gloss paint tends to stain and mar easier.

Tough crowd.

 

[66_B_Body4ever]

Got my vote as well...cool concept

 

[69HEMICORONETR/TCONV]

Has anyone heard anything else about the possibility of this show airing ?

 

[moparstuart]

lets all cross our fingers

 

[69 Runner]

I've got MY fingers croosed:rolling:

 

[CoronetRTguy]

I have my fingers and toes crossed its getting hard to walk now and type.

I really hope they do the show as to where you see the car come in to the shop and start the process of tearing it down and looking at what needs what first. That would help a lot of use do it your self guys here in the hobby.

I think take one or two cars and do them from the start to end would put the show up over the top of the other shows now and in the past

Throughout the show we will have carz in various stages when we introduce them. Mostly because we've started some of the carz by the time the film crew gets started. However, rest assured that we will cover absolutely every step of the process in restoring a Mopar as some point. I want this to be educational and entertaining.

My obligation is to the carz not the entertainment. I just hope we can be enjoyable to watch as well.

Go MoPar or go NoCar

Yeah, again, this concept of a TV show is needed. I grow tired of the perfect teeth old man selling his waxes with a cheesy smile and all the gloss and glitter on a show car! I like the down and dirty of a car build up, from my point of view; taking the rusty hulk with years of crap on it and returning it to the customer in a clean metal form where they can start the build. When I see that 'Car Crazy' dude I want to choke him! I saw him in Vegas at SEMA, and he is NOT at all as friendly as his show shows him to be, you'd think he would make an effort to acknowledge legless, limbless, crippled US soldiers from the wars overseas, but no...that best friend of his Dentist just basically ignored us! (He does make good waxes and washes though).
