seen the Hummer, Stallone's Ford truck and Nomad episodes, some interesting sutff they do, but if they really run their business like that how the fk are they making any money? Same goes for the Tuetels and Boyd Coddington.

Not much chance of Boyd making an money ... passed away some years ago and (IIRC) the firm went to the wall not too long after. Some of the guys now work for Chip Foose whilst that idiot Duane turned up as West Coast Customs for a short time!

The main place they are making their money is from the TV shows i would guess.

ok, made any money..it's one thing being a 'genius' it's quite another being a fking ahole to your staff...Big Daddy whatsisface is another one, zero people skills.

I am disappointed as from the title I was hoping for some pictures of customised lawn mowers on this thread.


I'm currently looking at a carbon wrap for the Mountfield.

Is Custom My Ride the program where they just do stick on tat big wheels, spoilers and lots of IIIIIIICE with a capital I, then try to make out they have produced a master piece.

Will take a rain check on this , thanks for the heads up though.

Why have you started another thread when you already started one in the TV forum?

[Remagel2507]

Ok so I recorded them on Sky+ and sat down to watch them all , here my review ish thing


I liked the Chevy Nomad with the NASCAR engine, as well as the 69 GTO mounted on the chassis off a 2006 GTO/Monaro.

Unfortunatly missed the 2009 Challenger Convertible conversion so I'll have to find it somewhere else.

Bad Points

Paris Hiltons Conti GT was awful as was the Pink Smart Car

That Rory guy in parts seems like a right tt constantly messing up

The interior guy Ish always does the opposite to what Ryan tells him too

The seem to have all the gear but no idea

And another thing why do they always have incredibly tight deadlines ? Surely it cant always be like this ?

Another thing he never ever mentions cost - it seems like hes doing every one a favour

Looking through the TV guide I found some more episodes not mentioned on the original link. Just watching the Maybach one and spotted an LM002 parked up in the workshop - I hope they're not going to ruin it as their other machines are not that bad

I saw the one where two weak chinned, feckless hair farmer 16 year old child actors got a completely maxed out Scooby and Evo for Christmas from Daddy. I'd like to say I wasn't jealous but I could quite happily have sawn them into tiny peices to get those cars.

[steve_amv8]

Whilst some of the stuff isn't to my taste, it isn't all bad ...

They built this for a Dubai guy ...


and this


The latter is an S-class converted to a coupe, which appeared in Season 1 of the show although it looks a lot better in white as it was originally seen.

Not watched these kind of TV shows for a good few years now.

Certainly entertaining.
