I have been watching that show for over a year to see what they are going to do. I'm almost to the point where I dont care anymore!
To answer your question . . . . .

He said it wouldn't be done this season. If you check out the website, there really isn't much left. He has about 5 projects he hasn't finished.

When did he say that? I thought he had said it would be done during this season at the start of the first show. Man this is really sucking that it is taking so long to see the finished project. They better damn well make a dvd of this project so far this project has been nothing but a tease.

i feel the same way guys. I havent been able to see the power block in a while and hoped that something was going on with it. But sounds like he's just puting it off.

its not him, its his producers and sponsors, he is just a highly payed tool for the company, a very lucky tool though, but he really needs to loose the mullet, I lost mine 2 months ago, now I am fighting the girls off with a stick

New shows?

The only things I'm seeing on the 'Powerblock' are reruns of shows that were on a few weeks ago. Unfrickinbelievable.

When do the NEW episodes air? I get a feeling but maybe I'm wrong, that a lot of truck project vehicles have been finished for
a while. Am I wrong?

If you go to the TRUCKS TV web site and check the schedule, there are repeats till the end of the season. No progress on anything!

Repeats till the end of the season? Too bad... We're all patiently waiting for some new info on what's been going on. It's a shame projects have to be held up SOOO long.

It seems like 1/2 of the powerblock episodes are re-runs

When do the seasons end anyway? Dec. 31?

You'd think that a new name, (Spike TV) would bring new shows.

I saw the show this morning and I think he said they were working on the truck on the next show and then they panned over to the cab that was sitting on the floor.

ok....put down the remote.....back away slowly.....now pick up your tools and advance calmly to the truck......start working on it...

after a while you will start to feel beter........you will come to realize that your project is just a good as everbody elses....


9 out of 10 personalities agree that working on your own project is far better that watching someone else work on a company funded one.

The 10th one is on the phone trying to sell Bill Gates a web based version of Jessie James' show.........called Monster Computer......

No! We don't know where he got the Phone #, Anyone got Bail Money....you know just in case........

One thing I can't figure out on that copperhead project: Why in the hell would somebody build a sweet truck like that, and then paint it with a FORD color? Damn shame!

Ford color? They said that was a custom mix. They give the codes so you can duplicate it if you like.

I think that whole project is badass

Yeah, it was custom. But if I remember correctly it started as a Ford color. They said that they added the metallic color to it.

Oh yeah, and I also think it is badass!

the ford 9" is just the cheapest way of getting a 9" rear in your truck. theyre really strong and a new one is hella expensive so people go and get the old ford ones.
