"My World is Fire and Blood"
i also like counting cars, now i have heard the setups on the show are fake as far as how they find the cars and the deals they make.
for example there was a couple that came to buy a finished truck from counts customs and it was suppose to be a truck that danny found earlier on the show.
turns out the couple owned the truck all along but count's customs did do the work on the truck. the couple paid for the work which was the final price of the truck they supposedly negotiated at the end but it was their truck the entire time.
all that aside the work on the truck looked amazing. and they really do restore everything or only what the people tell them to do.
fake or not on chumlee's Lincoln they showed a major problem with the primer and they went back to bare metal and rebody worked the car so they do care.
they do show a lot of lost profit on cars and i think the tv show makes up the loss in revenue for them.
On a show like overhauling well i read about bad things, and i read about how the show had to change after a few seasons.
there is suppose to be a rumored unaired episode where one guy was not happy that his car was taken and wasn't keen on the final work that was done to the car and there was some kind of settlement .
if you noticed the last seasons of the show they no longer "stole" the car, they started to do what mtv used to do for setups and have the people wait at a house then show up and announce their car will be on overhaulin.
basically my peeve with overhauling is the 1 week dead line, and the fact they would tear up matching number cars and just do whatever with them.
yes chip said "we don't do restorations" but still some of the stuff they did on that show would piss me right off it it happened on my Piece of poop car.
What i read was after the show ends the people did not get there cars back right away. First the cars had to be re-gone through again to solve tuning and mistakes. then the car had to go on tour with the promotion for the show for 6 months. that isn't to say they did work on the cars and do amazing amounts of work. however it really messed up the restoration industry because now a customer comes in and expects a car that would take a year to restore, should be done in 1 week.
now when the people got the cars back, many discovered their insurance went way up, and they owned taxes. a few people also lost interest in their cars after they got them back and then sold them.
its a big traumatic event somebody has an original car in the family for 30+ years then one day they think it gets stolen, somebody takes it based on the word of somebody else and then it is customized and repainted, then the owner is told hey here is your car your in front of cameras freaking out and of course your going to say how awesome the car looks.
a year later its parked in your garage and everything you hate about it just makes you want to get rid of it.
you know your looking at the shaved door handles and you go man i wish they kept the door handles.
or yeah this 600HP chevy ZR1 engine is fine but its not my chevy 440 big block that me and my dad worked on 40 years ago.
