    I just sent my email off to The Discovery Channel and indicated that I would like a response to my message. I got to thinking it might be interesting to see if they actually respond to me or to any of the other HAMBERs that took the time to let them know our feelings. If any of you read this that sent a message , how about we let the rest of Ryan's people know what is said. Just a thought.
     
  3. That was the best TV show ever. Its Tuesday morning and I am still in awe. They are all masters, I cant believe the work I just saw, how Gene just jumped in like a young buck and went at it. I love it I want to watch it over and over. I have to say, not only was the work and talent amazing, but the car was ****ing beutiful. I think it might now be my favorite 54 Chevy I have ever laid eyes on, everything was right about it. And Jesse gave respect to these guys says alot. I too want to know if this car will be at any shows this summer?? Does anybody know if Jesse kept this build for himself?? I would!!!

    Awesome Show!

    I think Gene was hammerwelding the roof with a Henrob?
    It was quick though I could be wrong.

    I was wondering if anyone else caught that. Best TV I've ever seen.

    Even Jessie relized that this was the real deal.I'm sure he feels the same as us.This was the only episode that wouldn't fit in with saturday morning cartoons.

    Here's what I wrote to them:

    Just wanted to say that you FINALLY got it right with the 54 Chevy build on Monster Garage. Watching true masters build a real custom is what this show always should have been about. Lose the drama and bull, show how real guys build real cars instead of stupid clown garbage. We watch to see masters at work, not to watch clowns tear stuff up or act juvenile. Showing real talent building real cars works. Check out the H.A.M.B. bullitin board on the net if you don't believe me!

    Several of the guys from the car club that I am in work for Monster Garage and West Coast Choppers. Yes they did work on the car after the build was over and even called in some help from a guy named Bob Grant from Northern Cal who is a total wizard with sheetmetal. But they do this after every build. Because they send all of the Monster Garage cars out to tour auto shows, trade shows and the like and they have to make the cars both idiotproof and bulletproof. They don't ever really change anything unless it is going to present a danger to someone who sticks their hand where it doesn't belong.
    Funny thing is that they usually ***** about having to work on these vehicles that come off Monster Garage. This time Alex, Bobby, Josh and Ben were all happy to be there getting the car ****oned up.

    I am glad to see that the producers of the show didn't throw something stupid in the mix like a wood chipper or trash can thrower. Very cool you think Jesse might have a new favorite ride?

    I said what pretty much everybody else has said.

    Maybe you guys can have your wives/girlfriends send one off too? Show the Discovery folks that it's not just guys that like it? I don't know if that'd help, but maybe?

    Nothing more to add other than it was way the hell too short. I want more. I just filled out the feedback form at Discovery as well.

    I think we all have just been taken to school. At least I have been. I'm not worthy.

    I have been posting there too. Trying to hype it up as much As I can. I have gone to all of the other message boards I use and spread the news as well. We need to be active to get something done. Even if they can't get a dozen of these guys together every week I would love to watch a long term project take form.

    I think that THEY thought they had a good idea with Boyd, but the boyd shop is so damn corporate it just ****s. I was always under the impression that Boyd was a metalsmith of godlike proportions and that the guys he hired were experts. Looks to me like the farm out anything too difficult for them and they take credit for it all in the mags. What a bunch of clowns....**** Boyd, lets watch the guys who actually BUILT the aluminum tub!!!

    That show was the best! Just another example how the W.W. II generation kicks ***. No fights, no egos, just a bunch of proven masters getting the job done. Even Jesse knew to stay out of their way. Loved it!
     
  23. I got a "form letter" type response. Not neagative or anything, but not very encouraging either...
