I live in the Dallas area. I tried to send them a cool mopar project three years ago. They had no interest. I tried to buy another car from them about 12 months ago. They would not do any work on it beyond their flip. Piss on 'em!
That's because they are not in it for the hobby. All of these car based reality shows are in it for the money. Period. Up to and including that Foose guy and all the other big names. If you don't think they get big money for what they do, you gotta nuther thing comin. Every single reality show is a farce anyway, because they all have writers listed in the credits. The writers make it all up. Every single bit of it. Anybody thinks any differently is swallowin what they want you to swallow hook line and sinker. It is entertainment, not a damned thing more. Poor entertainment at that.
