Default Dream Car Garage

One of the car shows that I watch will be doing a complete restoration on a 69 L88 next season. The show is on the speed channel and is on a couple times a week. The new season is set to start on Februrary 9, 2003. Set the VCRs and lets watch the pros do the job.

I LOVE THAT SHOW! But they replay it way too much, like 5 or 6 times. Each restore is about 5 shows, but after the 2nd time I watch it I'm ready for another, and way to many adds! I want to see more of the SHOP stuff! Thad

I went to their web site and shot them a e-mail and recieved the info from Tom. By the way it is a roadster. I really like the show but they do too may re-runs. I wish they would show some of there early work that I missed.
Enjoy

Boy that makes sense since the younger host (not the Italian guy) has a hint of a Canadian accent to his voice.

You guys on Cable should get the dish - cheaper than Cable and Speed channel is on all of the time. :cool:

Why is it every time latly that I turn on the speed channell theres always racing on , and 90% of the time if like F-1.
I mean I'll never complain about racing but I miss all the shop shows they used to have on, am I just turning it on at the wrong time or what ?

Tom Hnatiw was born in Canada of Ukranian descent (not Italian). :D http://www.yearone.com/leader_ads/tomh.html

body/paint, and the guys that do DCG engine work did his as well - I would hope that you would have to agree that they did an incredible job on his vette.

Yes they painted it and rebuilt the motor. I have known the engine builder on that show for 40 years, I helped him build his first motor in high school auto shop and he is going to help me with the new 396 small block. It is an expensive place to get work done but the results are great. :D
