Have you ever watched Diesel Brothers?  Entertaining in a Duck Dynasty sort of way.

Yes.  Living in the low altitude, high humidity southeast I am jealous of the diesel performance those guys get in Utah.  Their technical focus seems to be on axle/suspension - a lot of military surplus stuff.  I wish they'd show a bit more about diesel engine tuning - apparently they are really good at that.

I think my favorite car show is FantomWorks.  They focus on a car as a series of systems and prioritize what has to be right.  They re-did a jeep with a LS3 motor, have to admit that I was smitten with that machine.

Rawlings doesn't bother me.  He's a character, don't get me wrong, but the bad guys in professional wrestling never bothered me either.  I actually respect that his head hasn't gotten so big that he wont flip a car for $500 profit.  He knows this is his 15 minutes of fame and when it's gone he's still going to be flipping cars.

What I don't like about Count's show is the reality BS they try to pull.  Like the one episode I saw part of where they are out getting coffee and somebody just happens to drive up in a superbird.  Or whatever rare muscle car it was.  Don't insult my intelligence.  May be an OK show, but that BS turned me off.

Good to see you, SP!

I can't watch the show, rawlings is all mouth and has never done ANY work on a car himself.

I'm pretty sure Rawlings would be the first one to tell you that too.  He's the money man.

If you like Mopars, check out "Graveyard Cars".  That guy either knows his crap or talks a REALLY good game.  

When he rebuilds one he gets all the details correct - right down to where Chrysler tended to misalign pinstripes, or the markings on the transmission.
