Did anyone see the one where they put flame throwers on a car ? (Mustang I think).

Some come out pretty good, but some come out pretty awful ! Still, if you can stand the screaming at the end (OH MY GOD, THANK YOU SOO MUCH, OH MY GOD, WORD, OH MY GOD etc etc) , then it can make reasonable viewing.

Good innit, Ive seen the whole series. Some of their restorations are amazing. I wonder how long it actually takes them to complete on average. The show seems to make it look like it only takes a 2 or 3 days. Their bodyshop/painter is a pure genius. They usually add about $40Ks worth of stuff to each car!

Then there was that lad with the cut n shut Escort which they couldnt repair, n Xzibit went out n bought a brand new caddy for him, n then they modded that! Is he loaded or what, I bet MTV didnt pay for it

It wasn't a caddy it was a scion
He wouldn't have paid for it, free advertising

I actually love this programme! Always gives me a laugh and all their stuff is done to a seriously high standard which is good to see

Fantastic they brought that kid a new car, you knew they had to do something like that when you saw the car originally - especially with the baby seat for the kid sister in the back!

Our trip around America next year (all 50 states ) is going to include a trip to West Coast Customs... I'd love to see some of what they do in real life. After all, they're the inspration for my Series IIA Land Rover having a bubble machine

I do enjoy this show too, along with Tuner Transformations.

Oh, and BTW Jen, you so want to try and visit OCC (Orange Country Choppers). I can just see you getting a pic with Paul Sr, Paul Jr, Vinnie and Mikey. That'd be totally cool.

And if you happen to pass through Red Bank New Jersey, then stop off at Jay and Silent Bob's Secret Stash, well, if you're into the Kevin Smith thing.

They said brand new, and it certainly looked it.

Great program, remakable workmanship, but the cars are a little OTT for my tastes, but I guess the transformations have to be of that magnitude to provide the shock factor! :-)

Best.

Yeah the Bluebird/Maxima one made me laugh as my parents had one of them in the 80's. Best one so far has to be the Purple Honda Civic with Lambo doors, the girl must have said oooh my gaaawwwddd about 100 times

I'm surprised that no-one has thought to do a series in the UK.




They can start with my Capri
