I need to call Hagerty and discuss the value of my 74tii

 

interesting that they did not factor in the cost of any labor.

They didn't show the details on the body and paint work either - nor the headliner installation. Wonder which shop did the work..

 

No shots underneath the car either.  Maybe the new owner in FL ("Chris") will tell us.

Plus Edd China is a nut -- he builds hi speed couches.

They never do. It is just a gimmick. Edd frequently says what it would cost to have a shop do the work and I doubt there would ever be a "profit" for Mike and Edd if they did. As the show got more popular there are other "artistic license" elements that crept in (like staged sales) but it is simply entertainment. Like you almost never see a nut that won't release or a BFH treatment for a recalcitrant part. Or a swear word. Over time you can see huge creep in the base cost of the cars, Edd's use of personal protection like respirators etc etc. a real unsung hero is Paul, who never gets to talk on camera but is always there to keep an oil pan from dinging Edd in the noggin.

If we all factored in the cost of our own labor; it would equate to paying one self about .05 an hour

I enjoyed seeing the cutaway KF spinning...

[Rustpile]

This show, or at least this episode looks a lot like it´s been adjusted to US viewers. Camerawork, "heated" discussions etc. all seems a lot more "Hollywood" to me. Too bad, it was a pretty good show. Less so this time.

 

The K-fish cutaway was the coolest though.

[Saintz]

The show needed a bit of "hollywood", it now has a bit more oompf, better camera work and bright and shiny weather. Other than that, they still repeat themselves over and over through the show which is a bummer.

The British based shows were pretty stogdy. I'm all for the USA version.

 

and that is coming from an Australian.

You're from Australia and your screen name is "Saintz"? 

 

Any relation to the Chris Bailey band?

I enjoyed that episode.  However, they were very repetitive, true.  They could have spent a moment on the paint & body work. Did they do anything with the shocks, bushings, tie rods, sway bars, control arms, etc.? I was expecting a maus-haus somewhere under the hood, nicht??  What about the guibo?  Clutch? Did the heater work? Was the parking brake stuck? - - - -  Enquiring minds here!

Also nice to see what Dave Varco (Aardvarc Racing) looks like (for the rechromed bumpers and Recaro seats).
