About what we think of a lot of Geo. Barris' work. Not his TV cars.

I think the Kindig crew are are some of the most talented fabricators on TV but not many of their creations are meant for street use, just for car shows. Most don’t even have wipers or mirrors. Nevertheless, I enjoy watching the craftsmanship on that show.

I think most of the guys on motortrend are decent guys less Dan I think from Resoration Garage,and that guy with the long hair in Canada. Ones just bitter, the other seems pompous Jesse James can rub me the wrong way too. I like his work and he seems okay at times. He always seem to say something a bit jerky to me.
Dave and Kev Dog does seem like a great guys. Back to the cars, I love the craftsmanship but I don’t get everyone Blinging out the cars. Sometimes there is more with less. Personally I think it’s a get low car. Wife would get low in seat when driving by people, a bit much. Just my opinion. |

Counterclockwise?

All the finalists are works of art. As cars, not so much

I seriously doubt any of these Ridler cars will ever see a concrete or asphalt road. Most are trailered in and people pushed on the show floor. Pushed back on the trailer and sit in a climate controlled building forever. Easily 6-7 figure cars.
