Default Motorheads on The History Channel

So I stumbled onto this show tonight and watched it to see what it was about. Turns out it was just another knock off from American Choppers/Overhaulin'. You have a big loud guy that blows up all the time, rediculus deadlines, tome off to blow off steam and shoddy workmanship. They "restored" a '54 F100 for a guy that was out of town.

They talked about how the '54 was the first year of the new overhead valve engine and lead you to believe this truck was running that engine. It had a late model small block Ford that they got running and left as is. During the last minute thrash you see they didn't even take the time to paint the firewall. The truck started out brown and they painted it two tone black and cream. Looked good with the exception of the brown firewall.

Sure will be nice when these idiots stop staging these tight deadline, confrontation cookie cutter shows.

So anyone else catch this POS?

Yeah watched it, your right - a knockoff but I'd also add Operation Repo to your list.
How come it's always the big bald guys that are loud and blow up all the time?

Just another one to put on the I'm bored wintertime TV viewing list.

Tight deadline heros. Always makes for an adventure, but I wouldn't want them in my organization. Just poor management.

Isn't that the truth!!! I haven't seen the repo show yet and now I don't know if I want to. I always liked the History Channel but it looks like it may go the way of MTV.........just a name on a station playing crap.

Did you guys see the repo one where the mexican guy got beat up by the bikers, That one was great! I wished it was that big pu$$ but it was still good. He was alone with his niece and thought he was gonna be all cool with the cameras there and repo a bike from a shop with about 10 or more bikers there, He didn't get the bike.

Just another dumb-azzed show with a foul-mouthed steroid abusing candidate ready for some anger managment classes....Why did TV have to get "real"all of a sudden ? The next thing you know,we'll have some pumped-up grandmother screamin' at grandpa and the kids to restore the farmhouse in a week......ENOUGH OF THIS BS !!!!!!
I gotta go for a ride !!!!
