New show on the History channel.
Seems to be more about the business of restoring cars instead of restoring cars, we'll see.

Clearly a business. When the shop mgr b*tched about guys knocking off 15 minutes early
the atmosphere was apparent.
Still more pleasant than Boyd Coddington's shop I imagine.

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

Eden is about 2600 when you count the inmates...prob ably a 1000 if you don't, but, I guess with three gas stations, it comes out on top either way

Coddington's always came across as a joke.   I'd assumed as a viewer that most of the BS they were showing was for tv crap.  I'd have a hard time believing they could actually be that disfunctional and stay in business.    Then again i work for a large corporation that makes lots of money dispite our best efforts otherwise.
