Watched another new one, Highway to Sell

another new show, added drama.

Guy lives in Oregon, meets a body shop guy at a car show and they form a tatoo bond. Oregonian decides to take off to work with the guy to partner in with owners of stalled projects to finish them, problem is, the shop is in Florida.

At least it is a new idea, no gas monkey bull**** of raping the sellers at least, they know what they start with and know what it sells for. First car was the 66 cuda, they had no clue with that car. The camaro, I guess any car is nice if you put 16,000 worth of parts on it.

At least there was some effort and a new idea. Just seems like that crew he has are into lowriders and hydraulics.

Really, truly, seemed like a revamped version of Lords of the hoard, or one of the many adorations of a show that involve a owners car.  It was interesting but again it doesn't have the legs to make it past a season.

Could anyone tell me how a dual plug hemi that they say was a 5.7 hemi.  It sure looked like a RB 64+ hemi block.   345 h.p. Maybe running on 7 cyl. It in no way looked like a modern hemi.  Loved the look of the 62 Chrysler wagon.  I'd love a car with the Virgil Exner insane style of the era.

Well, Scot McMillan will be back OCtober 6th. He just moved into a bigger shop, but now he is leasing out the old Gas Monkey garage set with Jason and Tom working for him to start his own show. I guess they dont like filming in their own shops at the beginning.

Is this going to be much like a JR Vs. SR. Type of reality programming.  Where GMG competes in builds or Hijinks between the two shops?!?!?  Is it going to be on DSC also?!?!?

It's not that the characters are bad.  At least I can believe somewhat the storyline.  It's much better than Lords of the Hoarde.  They just need to work with double-checking facts or elude to what is going on.   If it was a new style Hemi, how'd they get it to mate up with a 727 T-flite or how did they get the push button linkage to mate to a modern trans.

 

Maybe I'm being hyper-critical, let it play out.  Maybe they could be the next GMG.

 The preview from next week is Richard pulling his hair out that his old garage is being leased to Scott and the boys like he is worried about competition. The competition is for fans, its not a money thing anymore. Richard throws money around that will really end up forcing Fired up garage to show more expertise on repairs instead of just throwing money at projects. I really think the projects scott does are more of what we want to see. I really hope there is not a cash register tape at the end to show how bad he screws his buyers.

Wow this episode was better, but really. Need reserve to protect themselves, or a way for them for a contract with the owner to make sure that they don't end-up at a loss for building their car basically.

Its just bad acting I guess. The guy comes up with this "new" idea and people are all on top of reserves and percentages.

Seems a very close tactic for drama much like the Lordes of the Hoard.   The Elcamino seemed to much like a pro-touring also so much off a "factory" for owner to buy back.  If was a pro tourer, should've the color the painter suggested.

 

Comet looked best in it's black suit.  I liked the idea.  Just went too 1950's with it.  Two-tone turquoise-whitish.

 

One-downside seems that the team isn't in on the dealings.  They need to lessen the one-off owner-inspired cars an focus on what would bring multi-bidders in a auction.
