Really dig the body work done on this restoration. Reminds me of the mechanic I worked with, summers in HS. Good to know that old-school craftsmanship is still alive.

Love that pickup they use on the show!

This is a really enjoyable show. I hope they renew for another season. Just some calm, cool and talented guys with no manufactured car show drama.

It's nice to see something so tasteful and builds for people to actually drive their cars. Kindigit cars are like 300K and get trailored to shows... Gasmonkey builds garbage, etc.... This is one of the few that build tasteful cars that would actually be fun to drive.

I like the show, but the owner dude come across conceited and arrogant IMO. I do like how they have kept most of the cars they work on really tasteful and restore instead of modify the crap out of them.

Only other car repair show I really watch is Wheeler dealers. All the others have too much drama, and don't show them actually fixing/working on the cars.

I think Eric is pretty affable. I absolutely LOVE Wheeler Dealers. Edd China was great but I also like Ant Anstead now that I have watched all of his episodes on the Velocity app.

All Girls Garage FTW haha.

Garage squad is palatable when I'm hung over and on the couch.

Touche. Rachel DeBarros' voice gets on my nerves but none of the three are hard to look at.
