    I'm pretty sure you meant DVD not CD. The problem is marketing.Your target demographic is very limited and with all the b/s "reality" hot rod/bike/towing/fishing shows on tv for the cost of cable, you have a bunch of competition.Even the hot rod DVd's put out by mad fabricators (some very cool stuff) have a limited market and with people not having the expendable income they may have had a few years ago, it is a very risky investment to say the least. The cost to produce something like you want even on a "entry level" is going to be $$$$. This is only my thoughts and I am not in the entertainment buisiness. Please do your homework and Best of luck!
     
  3. My thoughts...or two cents.....It might be interesting for the people involved on a local level.But with the saturation of the street rod movement on the web,cable,in magazines,all the car shows around...I think there is too much free exposure for anyone to want to buy a dvd.Maybe just the local guys.
