This show screams early 2000’s and I love it

[@Very_Angry_Citizen]

Sometimes I have to check the date of original production myself. LOL

[@dirtrider3526]

These are old episodes from spike tv. I havnt seen these shows in years. I wish shows like this would come back so bad

[@bmstylee]

@@dirtrider3526 wait. You don't like fake greasy haired tools?

[@Diddy_Doodat]

That copper looked so good on that bumper. I would've kept it like that.

[@agentorange2554]

Cool info on the Cougar. Wasn't aware of any of that.

[@K.B.E.B]

In December 71 It bought 72 cuda and I like it's grill much better . Later I bought a 71 440 6pack cuda. Then a 67 with a slant 6 in it. Loved the cuda better than the challengers.

Can I get an amen!!!

[@mitchellgelman5633]

Why is it the last we hear of Red Sled is this episode's bumper plating? Where is the rest of the build???

[@johnds6621]

I didn't think there was even one plater still in the USA because of all the EPA regulations. Where is the one you guys visited?

To me that Cougar looks like the Front End is too High, like a 737 about to take off

[@stevekeenan9673]

Copper bumper on black paint w/ copper rally's would be clean

[@GrandpappyJim]

quit skipping over my red sled🤣

[@OriginalMomo]

The nose of that Cougar needs to come down an inch or two... it’s squatting in the back

[@Diddy_Doodat]

Squatting is good for weight transfer.

[@pjimmbojimmbo1990]

[@tphvictims5101]

I’ve always liked white as a car color, I guess it started back in the day with Grumpy Jenkins and his Chevrolet. I seem to remember that Joe Rogan had a Cuda built by SMC, I heard it had issues. Still all and all the Cuba’s were/are beautiful cars. Check Nicks Garage on the TUBE.

If that segment on bumpers was any shorter you could blink and miss it!!

Wow

😁✌🖖👌👍😎 very cool

7. What ...secs 0-60.....?? now most pony cars are 5.0 secs are less. A 2018 mustang GT with an automatic does 4.0 flat. New Detroit Muscle better than ever!! A few modern upgrades on that old eliminator would get her down to 5.5 or so..definitely add. HEI ignition , some better wheels and tires , some 4.10 gears out back with a 5 or 6 speed trans. roller camshaft roller rockers , aluminum heads, rack n pinion unit. Then lighten it up a bit.

[@paulmccoy2908]

I remember Courtney Hansen. Her face almost made up for her raspy voice.

[@davidnichols1363]

I always liked Courtney

[@otsenres1636]

You should hear her moan..🤭

[@paulmccoy2908]

Otsenre s Did you tell her a bad joke?

[@hemihead001]

They used to be called Clones until they couldn't make big bucks using that word . Now they call them Tributes . This show sounds like a big commercial for all the companies he got free supplies from . I wish companies would give me free products too so i could get rich selling projects .

[@AutoYoung]

They built the car for the owner of Year One. It's a tribute because they only made 8 convertible Trans Am in 1969 and it's also a tribute to Year One because the company was started the same year.

[@davidcrane6593]

Fast and firm is crap. I used to work for a body shop and we would repair trunk and taillight leaks at least one a week for a long time cause the previous bodymen used fast and firm... dont use it... 1 yr later you will be sorry.

[@darinmcdonnell712]

You lost me when you put a small block chevy in it, why did you butcher such a nice car???? What a wasted!!!!

[@AutoYoung]

What the hell are you whining about?

[@darinmcdonnell712]

@@AutoYoung you put a dime a dozen small block chevy in it, you butchered the car!!!! It is worthless now

i'd rather see the opposite of how to take chrome and paint it, i hate chrome im not a 50 year old man so its not my taste, i wish i could get rid of all the chrome off my truck

[@areyousureyouenteredyourna85]

Ok zoomer.

I’m alright with these Fords/Mercurys, but I’m tired of seeing these horrible GM products.. unsubscribed

Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
