'The Restorers' TV Program

Wed Sep 08, 2010 4:20 am

There was a mention of this on the Key forum. Apparently there was a couple of movies, and now a PBS series.

Anyone know anything about it? I didn't find anything on a quick search of the forum, and I don't recall reading anything...

The original documentary is outstanding, so I can't wait for this! 8) 8) 8)

If the format is anything like Rides or Overhaulin' (both of which I've appeared on) it's going to be very disruptive to getting any work done. Nothing quite like showing up to work at 8am & having to wait until after 8pm to actually pick up a wrench & DO something. Standing around with your thumb up your butt for 12 hours gets old, fast... no matter how good the spread laid on by craft services is.
Overhaulin' wasn't too bad, but Rides was a nightmare: "Ok, can you take off the wheel again & put it on again while we film from a different angle this time?" No! bugger off!
I'd never have the patience for it again.

Which episode of Overhaulin'? My partner was on the John Force episode. He had some pretty good stories.
