BTW, the host is a knucklehead and as long as he is there the show will never have any credibility with racers...

On all 3 points.I would never put up my car. Too much time and money in it to lose. Fwiw, it seems to have drawn the same opinions over in tgo. Most think the idea is silly, a few think it could work.

I have a solid 406 engine (long block)on a stand I would be willing to donate.
By the way, I thought the loser's car went to the winner. How would the "auction for charity" work into that??????
Also, the show has no street credibility...it's just a staged "reality" show, fer cryin' out loud...but who wouldn't like to be involved in a project for it?

What's done is done and it should stay that way!
Heck! No! I wont put my Vette's pink up for nothin'.
Now I would entertain the idea of snatchin' another forum members Vette and having someone totally restoring it for them and look at the suprise in their face!(just a thought though)
Thanks,Matt

This sounds awesome. If it goes to a charity, like St Judes , like the other thread shows. I am in. I have a few parts laying around. They should last a few runs
