I wouldn't lose any sleep over it - It's just a pass by shot showing the 32 Ford display. The only reason I cought it was cause I knew where your car was in the display.

Hello, Dave;
You know, it seems as though you are becoming a fan of this show because of a certain scene that passed by a coupe of yours. Why don't you look on their web site and ask if you could have a copy of the show with that scene in it? These shows really like it when fans write in and request stuff! Maybe you could get Shine to autograph it for you!

I find it hard to chose sides when it comes to liking or not liking this show. I guess it's probably because Dave (the guy from Ohio) is a friend of mine and also a part of our car club.

Unfortunately I'd have to come right out and say yes Jimmy Shine does seem really fake with those cheesy "this is a perfect opportunity" lines. Dave Lohr or "Littleman" as he's known by friends built the Hemi Powered Model A Coupe that was in the basement at Detroit last year. I personaly don't feel he belongs there working in this "training show" Jimmy Shine has put together. Although I do think he'd do great things working for So Cal if they'd let him show his real talents.

I guess everyone who has already seen the show has already formed an opinion... so wether you like the show or not, it'll be worth watching to see what Dave car really do.

i've watched a bit more of the show.....

on the show ..... things like the dim-wit female asking about a bolt thread & nut size stuff. jimmy tried to teach her how to figure out stuff with a problem solving method.

I then realized that is the same BS I deal with. the kids just want an answer, they are not interested in learning something or learning how to solve a problem with some research. they just want "the answer"

I have found with my reading glasses on the bolts look bigger.

Quote from: "Crosley"I guess I was hoping for a bit of 'tech stuff' to come through on the show..

I am already tired of Shine saying stuff like: " this is a terrific opportunity for these guys"...... " I am not sure which one will make it for the job" ... etc, etc, etc.

this female that remains ,,, just what is she able to do (work wise) on a car?

THE FOLLOWING REFLECTS MY PERSONAL OPINION, AND MY OPINION ONLY.

I DO believe we were given a barnful of reasons in this week's episode as to why the whiney, dumb blond has been kept on the show.

Ol' Pete and Jimmy are probably gonna' "help" Blondie to finish her father's three-window, while she becomes s-o-o-o grateful, she donates the barnload of cars to them in exchange.........at least, that's likely what they are hoping will happen.

She's REALLY an insult to the thousands of women around the country who work side-by-side with husbands and boyfriends nights and weekends on street rods and race cars.

I can go to ANY local short track and find more than a handful of women who are THE "tire specialists" for their race teams.....swinging 50+ pound tires and wheels around, taking hot tire temperatures, etc.

Several others are up-to-their-elbows working - I mean WORKING - on the cars.

I gave the program a shot, but it's simply hype and cliché. No REAL shots of processes. No "how-to" segments.

Just like Boyd, they are all on "super-tight, how-are-we-gonna'-finish-this-car-in-time" deadlines, but seem to find the time to attend auto shows, and go flying in WWII aircraft.......

.....and, they consider us dumb enough to believe that......Maybe we are!

There's a lot more honest-to-God technology happening in dozens of home shops within 25 miles of me.

Even "Chopper" is forced to show some technology every now and then when they start using a new machine that has been donated for the exposure........and, I haven't watched that for a while, now.

The Rambler keys are now back in place over the visor, and the tank has been filled.

Unfortunately I totally agree with you Bob. Just maybe one of these days they'll answer to the real car guys interests and not the soap opera watchers. I was totally into the concept of the tv shows based around cars when they did the buid off show with Barry White and Jimmy Shine, and the Rides series. Take it for what it's worth, but even though there was still the cocky attitudes and frustrations among teams, there was still a bit of technical insite on those initial shows.

Maybe this will go full circle and go back to something really informative. For now I'll just continue to watch them make a fools of themselves... Chicken Suite and all

I think the problem lies in the television audience.

While the real, honest-to-God car guys are out in the shop working on their cars, the tv marketing people KNOW that they are not going to reach them, so they "dumb-it-down" to the lowest common denominator - the soap-opera people.....the people who are hooked on television, and have nothing better to do than watch Oprah, Montel, Judge Judy, etc.

People who need to see strife - real or perceived - in others' lives in order to feel good about themselves.....

Since they have no technical investment or understanding, those people need to see the smarmy, "soap opera" side of things.....and the program producers accomodate that need.....

.....while the REAL car guys are - with the occasional exception of a televised race - too busy for working, building, designing, and engineering........seeing the progress that makes them feel good about actually accomplishing something.

It's that "sense of accomplishment" that separates the REAL car people from the lemmings who feel better when someone else's life sucks more than theirs.

There are three types of people......

Those who DO things.....
Those who WATCH other people DO things......
And those who DO NOT even know that anything is happening......

Man, at $3.00/gallon, driving the Rambler is getting expensive.
