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.

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.
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.
Dan and DRS FantomwWorks definitely know what they are doing. Before they got the TV show my husband and I were fortunate enough to get them to restore my 1971 Bronco. They made a custom hood, major body work and sprayed the entire body in bed-liner. It is BAD ASS! Dan knows his stuff and he tells you like it is; whether it's something you want to hear or not. His number one concern is your car and it is TRUE if he has to choose between you or your car he'll choose the car every time. He has a true passion for his work and it shows in every build. He won't sugar coat things for you because he thinks it's what you want or need to hear, he is up front and honest with you every step of the way. Anyone that says they can restore a classic vehicle for cheap is not doing you any justice because its take serious time and effort to do the job right. This show is the true definition of reality TV. Dan is the same guy on and off the camera, very down to earth and an all around nice guy. I would 100% recommend taking any project to him because I know first hand that it will be done RIGHT.
Best car show on television. I build cars and this is finally a show about the industry that isn't filled with garbage. The time lines are realistic (probably real) but the prices seem a little lower than I would expect. Our shop is definitely more expensive but we're in California. Glad television isn't afraid to show a car that isn't built in 3 days for 2500 bucks. We can't build someone's air conditioning system for that money. Keep telling the truth and bring in more process if you can. People need to know how much work is really involved in putting together 50 year old cars (and not doing it by just smearing them with filler). Great backgrounds, great shop. Will visit next time I'm going to DC as I understand that unlike most of the other shows, this is a real shop. Very disappointed to find out that most of the car shows are shot in made up shops. Keep up the great work.

- TriviaWhen the Discovery channels DMAX and Turbo re-ran the entire series, in the early 2020s, it was re-divided up into 8 shorter seasons. Season 1 and 2 were 6 episodes long, season 3 became 10 episodes ending with "Wet and Wild", season 4 became 7 episodes ending with "85 in the Fast Lane", season 5 now had 7 episodes ending with "All Revved Up", season 6 had 10 episodes ending with the rather appropriate "A perfect 10", season 7 was back to 7 episodes ending with "Tri Power Trails", and season 8, which by mutual agreement became the final season, due to series production logistics and business operational reasons, ended the entire original run with a massive 16-17 episodes as the final episode was a 2 part feature length finale "Metro Mayhem (part 1 and 2)".
