SO how long after the car is done does your son get to drive it? Great car, great story about how it got put out of service, great story about how it got fixed. And great son. Can't wait to see it. And thanks for giving us a heads up.

Wow! Congrats on being selected! This is super cool!

I have a question, but you don't have to answer. One thing I have wondered while watching this show is what are your out of pocket expenses? I know you said you have been collecting parts for years, but what about the things you dont have? Do you owe them anything in labor? Or do they just come and do it all for free?

I ll be sure to watch your episode of the show!

I would guess since this is a show for TV that the production company pays everything just like Chip Foose on Overhaulin? These shows operate because cost like parts and labor are so small relative to the overall production costs versus a sitcom like show with mega salaries...

I was hoping that was the case, but didn't know for sure. You make a good point about production costs.

Awesome.

I've watched this show before and it's decent for TV.... They did a Blue 69 last season.

Can't wait to see yours.

Congrats!

C5 ZO6 seats with custom embroidered leather covers. Trailing Arms were assembled and set up by Vtech. Outer and inner flanged axles install and clear exactly like stock. I have the 1350 joint setup.

That engine is to die for! Awesome! I like the show. It would be good to hear some feedback after the filming. They seem like good dudes. Let them know people watch it here in Brazil too!
