Re: American Hot Rod Cancelled?
I watched that musclecar episode with the engines! And If I remember correct those engines they showed could have been bored no more than .050 and use availible technology in todays parts! So in order for me to believe those were stock I would have to see them torn down! I do not believe a stock 426 Hemi made 800 HP! I would say around mid 5's or maybe get to 6 though with some QUALITY TUNING.

Re: American Hot Rod Cancelled?
SO long AHR. Its too bad that the people writing the show were not car people with experience on the street. It would of been nice to see some detail complete restoration methods
from start to finnish.It would of made the show a lot more interesting than the sh--t they were showing. PJ

Re: American Hot Rod Cancelled?
If those guys knew what restoration was, they wouldn't have gone through so many 56 bodies in the Junkyard Dog episode. Guys in the salt belt know what "restoration" means. Have Discovery Channel come EAST!

Re: American Hot Rod Cancelled?
I didn't know it was still on. Life's too short to waste time watching that circus. In the few episodes I tuned in for, I saw way more than I needed to see. I'm not a big fan of the "unbelievable crushing deadline" format ala this show and American Chopper. Get some process management software for cryin' out loud. Just my $0.02 (pre-tax, of course)

He was such a smuck !!! When I met the OCC guys !! Thats another story...

Re: American Hot Rod Cancelled?
Hijacking the thread, Did anyone see the new American Musclecar episodes over T-day weekend.? They did one on testing "Factory Stock" musclecar engines on a dyno. Most were somewhat in line with factory ratings (409,421 SD) The 427 Ford came in at 600HP + - and a 66 Hemi came in at (get this) 800 + hp.!, yea stock motor, right. I guess Chrysler underestimated thier HP rating by half.! What a joke...

Re: American Hot Rod Cancelled?
I was disgusted by their stupidity at Bonneville when Boyd's wife got stuck out in the boonies. (Why in the hell was she driving a car at B-ville anyway?) (Sorry, I'm being intolerant of women drivers.) Hot Rod (Frieburger) was disgusted too if you've seen the shot in this month's issue with the stuck vehicles and the awful gouge in the salt. They should have to pay for damaging the endangered surface.
