It is because Rat_Rodder posted a pic from that site, which is a Jesse James pay site that requires a password to view....

 

This was the best one yet!! And to think I almost missed it because I was working on my chopped 54 chevy. I wish I was as talented as they were then maybe my car wouldn't be such a pos compared to that one. Hopefully I can catch it on again so I can tape it. And after meeting norm at a couple of car shows he is as crazy as he was on tv.

 

My bad guys.. Didnt know it had hyperlinking..

Its cool..
I am interested in seeing it..
Save it to your computer and post it up that way...

 

ya here it is.. Once i herd about the 54 chebbie build, i joined up there for a month

 

whenever I watch this show,
and at the end,
they say,
BUY THIS SHOW FOR 30 bucks,
I always wondered why,

I hope they have this one in the extended version!

Is there really a $1800 carberator out there, though?

 

Just think of all the film that ended up on the cutting room floor. If they can make OCC two or three hours on one bike, they could have make MG two or three hours long with the "masters" at work

I wonder if they are going to run some kind of bumper on the front? The front just does'nt look finished to me.

 

It was on agian tonite,Almost missed it agian.That was one show that will go down in history.I think the TLC guys should spend more time recording these old guys then dicking around with the TV hipe.Just think one whole hour with just lead work being done,Now that would be something to watch,Make a build like this take up 5 or 6 shows and show in detail how a car like this is build.You guys out west are so lucky.I have only been ready shit like this for the last 25 years while you guys can see it first hand.I grew up in the wrong part of the world!!

fitzee

 

my only quibble is the mass above the front fender lip. needs to be moved up about 3 or 4 inches. otherwise it's swellcakes.

 

I think they just cut the bottom off the front fender........OLDBEET

 

That was the best one so far. I'm not one for chevies but that car looks real good. I see what you guy's say about the flow of the car. I too would like to see an extended build up of that on tape. Could you imagian what those guys could do if they were all working at the same shop? later plmczy

 

Not sure , but from the chopperdogs site, i belive they didnt section the front fenders. just cut the bottom .. Havnt really looked hard

If I may suggest an idea.

Perhaps we can each send the folks at the Discovery Channel an e-mail saying how much we enjoyed this show and would love to see more of it, as well as more like it. I know I'd like to see more of what they did, they had to skip a lot to fit it into an hour, well less with commercials and all. But perhaps if they get a lot of positive feedback about this, they will think about doing more of the same type of stuff?

Anywho, just a thought.......

That sounds like a really good idea and you can bet I will be sending a letter in. That was the best hour of tv I have ever seen. Tears and Goosebumps for sure. I giggled like a girl when Gene was talking and laughing about how he "builds cars for a living". Those guys just tore it up like teenagers in there with the wisdom of auto-intilectual giants. MY GOD THAT WAS GREAT!

 

Foiled, i agree. That was the only thing that didn't look right to me.
I watched the show with my pops, and today we were talking about it and that was one of the things we bs'd about.

But either way, i still love it!
Makes me wanna section mine.....

But i won't, it'll take me a damn year!LOL

Rat...

 

I nearly nutted when I saw this show was coming on. As I had to take an hour off from shaving my 54 Chevy just to watch real artists at work. Then I got a bug in my ass and worked until 5 in the morning.

They definatly left out a bunch of interesting work that was done on the car. Wish the show was spread out over a full week on one hour shows.

Any one know where this car is headed and in Jesse James is the owner. Imagine the amount of money this thing could fetch at auction because of the masters hands that have graced it.

It was this decades 'Rod and Custom Project Truck' brought to us in under one hour.

Still Geno, still impressed

 

That's exactly what I was gonna say.

Brings back thoughts of R&amp;C's Dream Truck

Both have been sectioned, chopped, www on chromies, tube-ish grills, classically styled interior, smooth "dreamy" paint, low-long-slinky (almost like a Studebaker in the rear), and they were both graced by the hands of many masters.

Good stuff...

 

My two cents to Discovery:

Finally a GREAT Episode!!

MG finally got it right. No screaming, no bashing, no personality clashes, no BS.

You gathered a great bunch of customizers, and complimented it with great chassis guys and a clown for a little humor. If you can let the OCC guys take weeks to get a bike done where they farm everything but the assembly work out, you ought to be able take more than one episode when you have such talented guys doing such extensive work right before our eyes.

This episode was fantastic! It's the one episode that comes close (well actually this one surpasses) an episode of Rides. Please let us Learn from Masters instead of some director's Discovery of guys needing an anger management class.

Thanks for this great show!!!

 

Hey guys here's some more pictures that someone posted here a couple of weeks ago.

 

that car kicks some major ass!

 

That was the only MG I ever HAD to watch more than once, just to take in everything they did...I agree, Jesse did a good job in the repect department...I sent my comments to Discovery, and got the same form letter back, but oh well, at least they sent something...
