For me the OG / WD episodes speak to the everyman, the DIY guy who works with hand tools and has limited resources when bringing a classic back to life.
IE: In earlier segments, they would clean a wheel, sand or scuff then paint it with a spray can. Later you see them visiting some specialty place, drop or exchange the wheels for some ready-to-go bling.
That was where the charm and DIY connection started to wane for some viewers. In those shows the original facility was very modest and showed him largely using hand tools.
