Copperhead "Cop-out"!

[wxman1]

Generally speaking, I like this show. He is doing something
with out vintage trucks and I do get a few ideas from watching
his show. I watch 3 shows like this regularly, Trucks, Two
Guys Garage and Weekend Mechanic. The first 2 are fairly
unrealistic for people on a budget (me). But...I understand
that RTM Productions and Brenton Productions are not going
to get these shows made unless they heavily promo their sponsors products. Such is the state of modern day television
production. Weekend Mechanic seems a bit more realistic
in their approach.

I think I remember years ago when the local PBS station did
a "weekend mechanics" type show. Few if any promos
and generally good info. However, given the takeover
of PBS by the "wine and cheese" crowd they have little
interest in doing anything concerning "infernal combustion
machines".

Lets face it, much of what's in these shows is eye candy.
They realize as I'm sure you do that there are very few people
in their viewing audience that have the necessary skills
to do restoration work. Probably 80 percent of the people
that do have those skills (or at least think they do) are
probably right here on this board.
