And nowhere near enough of the mechanical renovation and bodywork detail. It's a complete rehash of Fast n' Loud which went off the rails for exactly the same reason with the big loud mouthed front man. Unsurprisingly, Mike ( the paint guy ) is in this as well. The "Rabbit" dude is one seriously annoying individual and you can see why the morons lap up his nonsense on YouTube. All the "padding" in the show detracts from what is is supposed to be about, car restoration ! Made it through three episodes until I expired through boredom. Which is a shame, because there are some good car people in this, who are completely overshadowed by the talking heads.
Driving into Juarez, Mexico to find cheap classics and bringing them back to the US to polish up and sell is what it's all about. It's fun to watch, the characters grow on you. Rabbit (whose voice sounds like king Zog from disenchantment) is the slick buyer/salesman who could probably sell Henry Ford a car, and Scooter his giddy, keen sidekick with connections to sellers in Juarez. They make for a entertaining buddy roadtrip duo. Some other comments are saying it's fake, that they film the Mexican segments in rural New Mexico are right and wrong. It looks like the cars are actually bought in Juarez then brought back, but some extra "pickup shots' that the production decided to add later are filmed in rural US. I guess it just makes practical sense that if you decide to have a drone shot of them driving away from the purchase, but you didn't think to get that shot at the time, that you'd just find a similar looking location in Texas or New Mexico. It's reality TV, but yeah.. it's still TV. They do seem to push the resto work through fairly quickly, sometimes taking less than an episode on a car, or having two projects in the works. Also, they don't really go into minute details of the resto, usually just focusing on one or two problems and how they fix them. But still, it's easy watching, interesting and some light-hearted humor thrown in.
At episode one they have to put rocks to stop the wheels from rolling when they sell it to the estate agent. What ???? A new refurbished car that the handbrake doesn't work!!! Nice work. Plus at the close ups you can see that the paint job is white and someone left as a mark red fingerprints on it. In short very poor job. I imagine that the buyer isn't real and it's all part of the show. Otherwise I don't see the reason to buy that car for 30.000 dollars. And when we talk about staging how come the cops stop them in Mexico and the film crew suddenly from close ups end up a mile away, not mentioning the cop who is full of tattoos.
I've watched plenty of car resto shows in my time and although I love the location, the 'characters' are just far too irritating especially Scooter. I had to fast forward through the majority of the season just to avoid having to see or hear him! He ruins the show in my opinion. The cars are poorly restored besides new paint jobs not much is done. Interiors are barely touched. Maybe I'm expecting a bit more class and cars that look professionally restored not cars that appear to have been done in someone's backyard. If it's wasn't for some of the gorgeous cars I would have stopped at episode 1.
Most of the stuff you see on screen is not authentic, mosf ot the cars they say they buy in Juarez are not actually bought from the people on screen nor they are in Juarez when they are filming.
The whole "being pulled over" by the "Federales" is super staged and scripted, the agents aren't even Mexican and Federales do not use those models of trucks nor they take your papers and come back... they will either take them and not come back or something else will happen but trust me they will not be chicano spanglish speaking agents... not authentic.. at all.
Like I mentioned before, the locations are not Juarez, Mexico other than a few shots on the street or the actual bridge. This could have been a great show but they just scripted it all the way ...
