Danny Koker - 'C' - repetitive car mill, second tier work
Then there's the Hemi guy, can't recall his name. He gets high marks for knowledge, but a failing grade for personality.
Who did I miss, who did I grade wrong?

I agree with everything except Ant Anstead. I would give him a A+ as well. He does great at explaining. and has mad skills. He is a master welder, and does more than just car repairs and builds. I miss Edd, and I wish I had an Edd or Ant type person living next door to me.
There are lots more shows and TV Guys. Dave Frieburger Finnegan with Roadkill is great entertainment, but I would never want them working on my cars. Funny stuff and the type of crap I would have done when I was 18 if I had a TV show to pay the bills.
I miss Fantom works. He was great on restoring a car and doing it right. Some of his builds took two years to do it right. Evidently he threw out the film crew because he refused the deadline BS of build it in a week.
