definitely need to watch the last 10 minutes! my soul died a little....
those that seen it know what I'm talking about.

I watched, and when that happened, I actually yelled out 'holy $hit' and I was watching alone. I don't usually talk to myself. They were very lucky no one was hurt

Same here! I had recorded it on the DVR and was watching it around 10pm, when my wife and daughter were already asleep. I though I was gonna be in trouble for sure!

[Harpie]

Looked setup to me.... Why else would they have a camera mounted looking at the stuff on the trailer. Still made me sick to watch ugh.

[FlameOut]

I doubt it was set up, although some of the things they do certainly are scripted. These shows have GoPros mounted everywhere

[alsriv2]

Holy crabby patty....that sucks. I sure hope that wasn't scripted for the shock value. Sucks to see a good cab like that trashed. But I am sure with the right person, that cab can be made good again.

There's 8 straps holding the bed on the trailer, and one strap pulling the cab backwards. Setup, all day long.

That's what I thought too. Did anyone notice the placement of the 1 cab strap? It was placed at the rear of the door opening towards back of cab! It don't take a rocket scientist to figure out was going to happen

True, but those guys are a bunch of morons. I can't stand that show! That being said I do enjoy watching Fast N Loud even though Richard is annoying with his "woooo" all the time LOL

[Cash3481]

If it was setup it's sad.
I noticed they didn't wrap the clips either and honestly...who uses a 1" strap to secure a freshly painted $7000 bed and cab. I use a wider strap on the stuff I take to scrap! It makes me mad to see that no matter if they are morons or just not thinking.
If it was my shop, someone's getting fired. That kind of complacency is unacceptable. They complain about bottom lines and trying to make money, I don't buy it!
Can we have a moment of silence for the cab please?

[mooseknuckles]

all these shows are totally scripted....c'mon there's like a dozen straps on the bed and one on the cab...? really? also I can't stand Jordan and Tom.....

[Youey]

I couldn't believe it fell off the trailer like that, if anyone noticed there was police at the end of the scene when they got it back on the trailer. Hard to say if that was scripted or not on a busy highway someone could of got really hurt.

Can you,say SELL OUT............SELL OUT!!!!

[cigar-]

I'm no professional. But I've hauled quite a few things....cars, equipment, parts, etc. I tie stuff down so it becomes part of the truck or trailer. I've never lost a thing. Every time I haul I go a block and check the tie downs. They get checked again after a mile or two. They get re-checked at every stop I make.

This surely seems to be a staged event. That my personal opinion. Reality programs all have a list of "associate Producers and writers" in the credits. If it's reality, what needs writing? How many producers are needed to film a car build?

I personally know the shop owner in Simi Valley that was filmed for a couple of seasons. I know who started the shop and who bought it. After watching a few episodes (it's no longer on tv) it didn't take long for to ask a short list of questions. Why does he now have "new partners"? Why does he have a "little person" on staff? I've been by the shop and now things are all back to normal.

In closing, any time cars or parts get ruined I cringe. But not to worry for the Misfits as the tv show sits quietly on the sideline with a bag of cash. If I can find another cab, they can find another cab. And.....if they hadn't spent so much on the initial project, another cab would be no problem.

my post #12

OCC had Paul JR's shop
FNL has Misfits garage.

Cant just keep the show about the builds etc they had to go for entertainment.....Builds are secondary! JMO
keep up the great builds here guys!!!
Maybe we need a show where they go around to us members and film us working on our rides......

[franken]

I didn't see any straps on the cab when it was sliding off. Who sets a cab directly on the trailer so the new paint gets ground off before it gets home? Oh, and they said a selling price for the truck when done of around $40k. When was the last time anyone saw a 67-72 sell for $30k? $20k?
In a past F&L episode they somehow warped time and made the Decatur swap meet (Feb) and Pate (end of April) 2 weeks apart.
Fake budgets, fake drama, fake timelines, fake prices, and so on. Watch most any reality show and the scripts are the same.

[goldenburb]

straps or no straps that here was funny, all day long..lol

[EARNHARDT#3]

Did anyone see the MINT '72 Blazer they ruined on counting cars? Wasn't the shops fault they did what the customer wanted. But it almost made me cry.

I did. The guy said his parents bought it new. It was a highlander.
