I watched the show, an episode where they picked up a '66 chevelle SS and attempted to restore it. The old man agonized over the paint color and debated what would make it "worth more" and in the end they left the crappy mags, chrome junk in the engine bay and lot of other details untouched. They didn't really do justice to the car at all and I didn't find much of interest in the storyline. Half of the show was about a search for SS emblems which were supposedly impossible to find

unless you have GOOGLE and $20.

I commend them for being fellow car guys and having an awesome yard but seriously what is the criteria to get a show because I know 1000 better restorers...

TOTAL HACKS in that regard.
