Bunch of sexist A-holes...

1.0

By Gypzi, Dec 24, 2012

I havent watched this show since the episode where they let Liz go for no other reason than the bosses wife was jealous of her(and why? Its not like Liz woulda had ANYTHING to do with her husband lol!). Liz had the most mature attitude and one of the best work ethics of any of the men working there. After all the sexist bulls**t she took from the garage manager and being fired because the garage owners wife was jealous of her that girl could have won a serious law suite against that place(I mean its all on tape!). Anyway, From what little I saw of Liz, Im sure she is doing very well somewhere. I saw that episode months ago and just noticed the show is still on tonight so I created this account specifically to make this one time review. No one at should consider me a current viewer lol!moreless

You need to make your own gaskets just because EGGE does not have the gaskets. Go out and buy some gasket material and cut your own. In that way you are not sitting on your hands waiting for EGGE to get them for you. This is an old car and most of the parts have to be hand made. I know I made most of mine simply because they are not availabe any longer. It takes a lot of time to fix an old car back to an old car. Sure anyone can take the body and put a small block Chevy with a blower on it and add all of the extras but that is not an old classic car any longer.moreless

What A train wreck!!!!!

1.0

By bammthis, Jul 31, 2012

I watched this show week in and week out not because i thought it was a great show but because i was looking forward to the next train wreck,that would be the next project car they started because every car they did was just one big problem after another. Boyd would tell every one about all the cars he built so why after his 50 years in the biz were there sooo many problems? I never saw Boyd lift a finger to do any thing but have meetings to tell people what they were doing wrong but never go down on the floor to help get things right. As far as firing people I see that on the other shows that have since come out the only they dont spend all the time like Boyd did on those shows one show you see them the next they are gone. Then there is his wife was the show about her or him?If you are looking for a show that tells you how not to run a business how not to treat your best people the people that worship the ground he walked on you should watch this, if you want to see a petty old man that is afraid of the people that came up with him .In one show he showed he had no confidence in him self and his abilities when he talks about people he treated likd crap going to work for Chip Foose.If he was as good as he thinks he should have had no problem with any one going to work for any one in his mind he is the best and every one else is crap.T hat did not stand then and does not stand now. I saw the painter that quit to go to work with Chip Foose after Boyd died on a show with to of the cars that they had built and he was still loyal to Boyd even after he was called every name there is.I will close by saying that if you like train wrecks and want to see one on your tv by all means watch.moreless
