Or does the recipient get residuals?? I love the way they throw money and parts to get the project finished. Either way, very lucky!!

Set my dvr to record it. I'm also curious how the program works as well. Is there a cost or do the gift all the work and parts. I though about submitting my 68 to the show since I can't seem to get things done on it in a timely manner.

PHIL 68

I guess he won't or can't shed any light on the costs or how it all works. Pity would be interesting to see how these shows work Phil

You submit your car, If they select it you organize the build, let them know what you need to complete and in my case find the parts. They bought about $6000 in parts. That is likely the cheapest part of the show. There are about 20 people onsite, Director, producer, assistants, make up, cameramen, sound techs, light techs, caterers, detailers, the mechanics. They probably filmed 20-30 hours to make a 1/2 hour show, When Ronnie and I were under the rear end you have a light guy, sound guy and 2 cameramen under there trying to film while your working. There is quite a bit of profanity cut out of the final show.

I did it, All fixed.

That 63 you got there is a beauty. Love to know what other work was done to that engine to get over 500HP apart from the 383 stroker? The 6 speed must be a lot of fun.

I recorded it, watched it last night. Very cool.

Wow that must be awesome to drive and scary in the wet. Will be doing some work to my 350 soon so any extra info is handy

Finally caught the episode tonight up here in Canada. Not sure who had the biggest grin on their face at the end. You, your wife, or me! Looks like you had a great time and the 63 came out looking spectacular. Good to hear you got the flame problem fixed and I bet you guys are looking forward to summer.
