Fuck me. I'm gonna film a day in my basement and start shopping it around for a TV deal.

To be fair, I've only seen about 20 minutes of one episode (including commercial time).

They have started up a resto business and did up a 1950 Studebaker Champion.
It couldn't pull $9500 at auction. Bidding stalled at $8000.
A coat of wax would have been worth $1500 in this case. The finish looked like shit. It probably wasn't that bad. It just wasn't dressed for the dance.
 
It's been on for a couple years now. I haven't really been too impressed with a lot of their builds. They're decent but, lacking in a lot of areas.
 
Jumping into the restoration market in this economy is just stupid. I can see doing it for personal satisfaction, but for profit? Good luck.
 
If I can get it backed by a production deal, I'd start making macaroni jewelry and fighting bout the future of the business with my red headed Samoan step brother from south jersey
 
That show is the pits. :(
They're not even close to being a resto shop - more like they pull something TV worthy into the bay, throw a junkyard mill in it, slather some bondo and paint all over it, bitch about the money this "resto" is costing, whine about slacking employees/auction deadlines/losing their investments/low profit margins and then boast about the high quality of the work they just did and the fact that these cars are worth every penny. (bad sentence structure, but you get the point)

Nothing that I've seen on tv from that shop looked very good. The hoist shots show just about everything that gets missed and the bright sun shots show the rest.

Reminds me of American Hotrod without the nice cars and cool equipment.

I might watch a show about a red headed Samoan from Joisey, tho'. :)

True!

As a rehabed South Jerseyian, I must say "Joisey", is a north Jersey, suburb of New Yawk/New Yawker wannabe term. South Jersey on the other hand, is a Redneck haven, and VERY proud that they were the last Union state to give up slavery. Not me personally, at least the slavery part, but I am all Redneck, and proud of it!
