Chuck sold two car's to "Gas Monkeys" and they sold them to a buyer that want's Gas Monkey to do the cars... "Staged" or so.

I laughed when they hired a guy to help find parts. Then they bought reproduction stuff!

I kind of wondered about that myself...the usage of repro parts? I hate using that stuff on my own car and I did not pay 325K for it either or anywhere close. Further, I would think or assume some of those original parts and panels would have unique pre-production variances in their details. Seems these details are what would make the cars a &quot;study&quot; and that was all lost in using the repro stuff. Plus, did anyone think of documenting the differences or uniqueness with only 60 days to do resto? Why let A** Monkeys, Hot Rodders, do resto work?

The new owners are going to take a bath when they are ready to part with them. Its a shame they dont have a clue about what quality work looks like.

i had a chance to watch the show last nite and laughed my rear end off. i mean they were using the really low end repo parts too. Too funny

Anybody know the guy that was hired to oversee the project? He sounded as if he belonged to a restoration shop.
