FantomWorks

The thing I like with the FantomWorks show is how professional and organized this shop is. Dan Short is a guy who knows how to restore cars. No gimmicks, no fancy air-ballon suspensions, no insane paintjobs, just pure love for old cars without charging the customer an insane amount of cash. I've noticed also that many times these restorations come under the initial estimated budget which gives the show a touch of honesty and reliability. All in all I think this is one sincere tv show.

This is by far the best " Motörhead " show on television. Dan Short is a mans man. Not done wus or freak.

He knows what needs to be done and does it! As for his use of profanity- that's how car guys talk in the shop.

It a great show and puts all the others to shame.

First off, I love cars and bikes and I have done restorations myself in the past. The premise that these cars are 'better than new' is ridiculous in the extreme. Whilst there are definitely talented people in that shop, for sure the outcomes are largely fudged and disguised by layers of 'bog' and thick paint (and the cost? WOW) Some of the mistakes they make and the owners curious fixes to rectify said mistakes are mind boggling. If you paint a customers car when they did not ask you to paint the car, it is YOUR mistake and you should not wing a deal to split the loss. Remember, the starting blurb for the show claims that they are all about the satisfied customer and stopping at nothing to do the job right... The curious patriotic angle is a bit off putting for non-American viewers and not really relevant other than perhaps being useful as an excuse for poor workmanship (don't criticise my work or you are criticising America?)

It makes for brain off viewing and is entertaining if only for the cockups, so enjoy.

All car shows are predictable. If you're going to spend an hour of your life, at least watch the best of the genre.

I've never watched the show until today and will never again. I just wanted to whip out a 2 x 4 and smack that smug look off of that annoying Dan guys face, what an obsequious annoying jackass.
