Is it a frequent thing in body shops to have cars collapse off floor jacks as much as it happens in GraveYard Cruzs??? If I was them, I would have that edited out. Mark is extremely knowledgeable but man o' man they seem to be really damn sloopy with high dollar restos.
 
lol.. i saw that. thought it was pretty freaking stupid to be moving a big dollar car in fresh paint from room to room on a floor jack...
 
If my memory is correct, they are up to three drops this season....
1.) Chally dropped off the lift during the front suspension fitting
2.) Daytona dropped on the nose and dented it in two areas
3.) purple chally sunroof car dropped when they were moving it to another room

to be continued....
 
Yeah, I caught that on the show. You would think they would have rollers under the four wheels to move the car around.
 
Been wondering the same thing. I know if I was the owner of said cars, I'd be flipping pissed!
 
1..........Well it IS Horrywood

2..........It IS a TV show and "fake drama"

Maybe the Codfish came back from the grave?
 
And another thing, their a MOPAR resto shop with a Chebbie van as their billboard...wtf...At least take off the bowtie dog dishes
 
Yeah I saw that as well. Its fu!!ing stupid. Just invest in a set of these.

Why these and not the other ones where you jack the car up to put them on/off, because these are a hell of a lot faster and no more worries of jack slipping out of the way.
 
If you listen closely, Darrin says we should of just used the car dollies right after it fell off the floor jack.
 
Hate the show with a passion. Bunch @$$ clowns just like the outlaw drag racing show.

50 minutes of watching them dick around and do stupid sh%#t+10 minutes of working on cars. If I was gonna pay somone to restore my mopar I would send it to a shop that actually DOES work.

The cars actually look pretty nice whne done but c`mon, they have lots of money in lifts and cradles for the assemblies but still manage to drop freshly painted cars! I know it`s TV but most of us can do better in our garages with no fancy equipment. Not very intelligent bunch I guess!!
 
Staged drama,just like Darrin and Josh.If it was my shop or any shop I know of they would both have been canned.I watch the show for the cars.
 
it's DrAmA!!!


one of them suggested dollies before the jack.

wtf would you set up the work area with the need to navigate a tight 90* corner???

wwtf couldn't they find a Dodge van??? I can find one on ebay in 15 min.
 
It's a car show...With Mopars. Complaining about drama? Really? Who cares about the drama. It's a car show... With Mopars.
 
That **** insults my intelligence and I don't
even watch the garbage.
 
That guy mark is f*cking *** clown! The last episode when he setup the engine on the break-in stand, he was jumping for joy because his initial ignition setting was 12 degrees off from being on the money. That is a lot to be off. I use to have a contract with the local Postal Office to do their engine and transmission replacements. I must of done at least 100 engine swaps and every one I would get within 4 degrees of where the initial timing should be. He may know his history, part numbers, interchange, etc. on Mopars, but he's still a moron!

I like to watch the show for the cars but if he talked to me like he talks to his guys, he'd be missing his front chicklets!

if these shows actually featured INTELLIGENT PROFESSIONALS BUILDING CARS IN REAL LIFE , they could be a good shows and just maybe , we could all learn something from them, but instead , they are all childish mickey mouse circus garbage . just one time , I would love to turn on the TV and see a show that is strictly about Mopars , that is factual , serious , to the point that actually do nut and bolt restorations ETC without the kindergarden drama

these shows should be about the cars , and what they represent, not about how many monkeys can break **** and how much money they can "make" off of some rusted out pig with make-up . in my opinion , these fake shows are contributing to the destruction of the hobby and have sucked all the fun out of it making it impossible for regular car guys with budgets afford to do it.
 
I wonder how many people think these so called reality shows are ''real''
It's all a bunch of staged bullshit.
I watch them occasionally just to see the cars.
And shows like ''Survivor'' are just stupid and staged.
