american hot rod monday oct 2nd

im not a boyd fan, his cars are all cookie cutter hotrods, all the same moderinzed retro bullshit, they all look the same just in different colors, perfect wetsanded no orange peal colors. if you take one of his cars, and build the complete opposite it would be awesome

maby im just jealous....

oh and is it just me or does it look like boyd uses just for men or somthing like it on his beard? idk somthing about it just doesnt look right

 

Not only that but when she was describing the specs of the car did you notice that she said it had 16 valves, instead of 16 cylinders...............Its ok though, she is kind of hot to be older

 

American Hot Rod is owned and operated by a entertainment production company. The shop is a sound set. There are catwalks above for the director, sound and film crew. Makeup and lighting is checked before each shot. It is entertainment all people doing the work are contractors that have signed disclosure contracts.
As for the deadlines. Sometimes you can see a car from previous shows with a tight deadline sitting in the background. Dusty
Bottom line is its a show. Every thing you see and hear was planed in a production meeting and is scripted. They need to do some dumb shit to keep people coming back to see what dumb shit they do next.

 

Come on man..... Tell us how you really feel.
There is a billboard in Little rock advertising his appearance at one if the Mississippi casinos, Why?

 

Not a dumb idea at all. I like it and rather see and hear them in action versus the Hot Rod Shop at Boyd's.

 

OK when Leno and Boyd posed for a picture ... Did Leno say I have a set of your rims on my Festiva? WHAT, now I'm thinking that was a lil shot by Leno.....out of all his cars he 's got the only one with a set of Boyd's rims on it is a Festiva. Very tasteful way of saying the only thing I 'd put your rims on is a econo shit box ! I don't know maybe Leno's Festiva is as cool as the rest of his collection.

But something didn't add up for me Leno + Festiva = One of the cars in his collection 2+2= 5

 

"Moditional"

 

I think marcells does all the body fab stuff dont they? I know they built that alumatub thingymagig (or at least the body) and then Boyd stamped his name on it.

 

It'll make another neat little toy car he can market at the Wal-mart store,in many different colors JUST like Jessie James.

 

I'm surprised this thread is not closed...... Boyd is tabu around here.

 

Well, yeah, it's just a soap opera, some of those things have been on TV every weekday for 25 years.

A guy could probably make some darn good money cleaning out Boyd's dumpster and shipping it to the rust belt. It amazed me to see that '61 Impala get built.. again wrecked on purpose, then the whole perfect frame is dumped.. then the whole perfect floorpans are dumped. We had one of those that had been an original manual trans car and could hardly give it away because the frame was shot. Don't know why they couldn't have used one that had weak floors and a bad frame if the doors, rockers and quarters were okay in it.

Same deal on the '36, a lot of nice stuff on it they won't use but I'd be happy with. Although I did have to agree the interior was a terrible color, I think if you ate a crapload of asparagus then drank till you puked, thats the color it would be.

And if they're going to chop it at least they sent it someplace where it would be done right and not left not quite perfect and loaded with filler like some of their work has had in it.

If these guys really are on a timeline, they have no choice but to start with nice cars, though, at least on the super old stuff.

Oh well. The only thing I don't get is why have a TV show that makes you look like a big, fat asshole? Or is that what makes it reality TV?

 

yeah i'll second that close this puppy all ready

 

Very interesting evolution on this thread. Started with a simple question regarding the name of a craftsman, and by now Coddington, half his staff, both wives, Marcel and both sons, the show itself, the cars, have all been bashed. Whew.

 

Yeah, it's almost as much of a Soap Opera as the Show itself...
