Anybody watch Fast n Loud?

F40 Engine won't fit back in chassis at the last minute? No problem. Don't actually straighten the chassis just cut out the engine mount and weld it back on so it fits.
Pedal box won't fit? No problem. Bash the bulkhead in with a hammer for clearance.
What a shoddy fvcking job. I actually enjoyed the series but the blatently made up F40 drama plus the workmanship was so disappointing I dont bother with it any more.

I'm very late to the party here; it was on Discovery yesterday. I really enjoyed the episodes and it was disappointing to see the bodges, but overall I think it was done to a high standard.
I think a lot of restorations that aren't aired on TV probably do worse. I do wonder how the pedal box didn't fit, that one is lost on me as it clearly fitted prior to the strip down.
The engine mount removal and re-welding is unforgivable though, they could have fixed that properly.

Their F40 is going up for Auction in January.

It will be interesting to see what it makes. Dennis currently has it for sale at $1.2m on his site!

Im still astounded that after all of the incredibly precise pulling and pushing of the frame to get it into line on that special machine, they had to cut off and reposition one of the engine monunts by about 2 inches!http://www.barrett-jackson.com/application/onlines...

Does not compute. I enjoy fnl but the boys should stick to old American iron where a foot or two out doesnt matterThe engine mount removal and re-welding is unforgivable though, they could have fixed that properly.
I'll be watching what it goes for, but I think it will be $X million minus whatever the buyer thinks it will cost to change the wheels, headlights and front bumper back.
What happened to the red "F40" on the rear wing?

Should have gone for more!Without fees that's $645k.
I think they had about $700k in the car?
As others have said there is no way they paid what was shown for the crashed shell. The TV show is about entertainment and the F40 is one where they really stretched the truth. Watch it again with the knowledge that Dennis ultimately "buys" it and you will realize that Richard isn't a great actor.
