Yeah, there's got to be some form of "realness" to it. I can understand if the builds for the show are staged, but I can't imagine the entire thing being staged? There's a lot of time that goes into filming a show, I can't see those guys doing the show and then heading off to their normal jobs at other shops. It does take a lot of time to build those cars... so who really builds them then?

Richard - "Monkeys, I just got this car out of a dirt bank were this farmer was using it to keep the creek from washing away his crops or something for the past 40 years and we've got to have it ready for the Michael Jackson Children's Charity Auction at Neverland Ranch in three days. So you all get to it while I go drink some beer".

I always wondered if there was couple crews of guys working on the cars that are not seen on the show to make dead lines if any of those are real.

Are you saying the cars seen on the show are built at the Gas Monkey Shop or at other locations and the Gas Monkey shop is all staged shots?

at GM

No, he's saying everything you see on tv is done at the shop, by the guys, but it's all staged for TV, as in there are no real customers, stupid deadlines, or BS drama.

Again, no offense that I don't believe you 100%, but that's all friggin' hilarious if true.

I will keep watching it as long as they are hot rodding old cars. I'm sure Richard, Aaron & the crew think a lot of it is cheesy too. I'd like to have a shop and have the producers pay for building the cars until I had enough money I didn't need them anymore. I think that is what happened to Outlaw Garage which I really liked too.

NCIS is the #1 show on TV. The forensics lab is run by a flaky punker girl,all by herself,who rocks out while doing vital delicate work and Gibbs is totally accepting of her unconventional ways. Yet,he's a total hardass on the crew of four diligent investigators who act totally serious about their work and always come through. Dinozzo is goofy as all get out,can hardly speak in a normal manner,and admits to having step mother issues,yet cleared what would be one of the toughest back ground/security checks known to get such a job. They work out of a big headquarters,yet you'd think the whole deal is run by this handful of people. If they need to collaborate with the FBI, it's always with the same one guy.
