Dorathen Better Late Then Never

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

edmondselectricalservice Fantomworks is by far the worse show that has ever been televised! The show is all about drama, nothing to do with reality. A total joke IMHO, i would not let any of those parts hangers as much as restore my push mower let alone a car. I can guarantee you that whatever the car value would be before those clowns destroy it will be half that when those grease monkeys get done raping it!

ripper-84279 I think the use of curse words mostly by Dan is really childless ,what does he expect to accomplish by using 4 letter words .I think the producers should let him know it is not becoming of a so called professional .Some of the work should come under question ,it seems they are always running into problems ,and some of the ways they repair things should certainly come under question .The meetings with the car owners are sicking ,they treat the cars as if they were dying family,I mean how much could you really be emotional attached to a car ?I think it is the only show on the air that actually does not teach some thing to people who are looking to better them selves on auto restoration

proller99 I have watched 2 episodes and the second was only because I could find nothing else on. I have a background in body work and it is clear these guys are morons. The first episode I watched was the one where the redid an old vette for a man that was getting married. The owner of the shop was test driving the vehicle before delivery and noticed it pulled to one side while being driven. Any experienced repair shop would have found this problem on two previous occasions, the first being when they initially noticed there was a prior collision. What kind of shop wouldn't check the frame initially upon noticing the damage? The time to straighten a frame is not after paint, it is the first thing that is done prior to any bodywork. The second time it should have been found is when they aligned the wheels after replacing the steering and suspension parts that were shown to be worn out. That would be done after replacing any of those parts and it would have shown if the vehicle wouldn't drive straight down the road. The next episode I watched was when they redid an old Monte Carlo SS. They first attempted to paint only the front half of the vehicle but blamed a paint supplier for not being able to match the paint. Anyone in the auto painting business knows (believe it or not) white is the hardest color to match. You will never get a perfect match to allow panel painting. At the minimum, the quarters would have to be blended to ensure match. The most notable and blatant example of their lack of quality work is the fact that they painted the bumper on the car and taped off the lights and even door handles. ANYBODY who has any knowledge how to produce a quality paint job knows you remove these parts and paint them off the car to eliminate any tapelines and the possibility of peeling as a result of inadequate surface preparation. Anyone who has ever had an estimate prepared by a shop or insurance company can back this up. That is what all the "R&I's" are on the estimate. They are there because it is STANDARD PRACTICE. Any shop that doesn't do it does substandard work. I wouldn't let these guys repair my beater much less a classic. How these jokers got a show blows my mind.

wazza2222 First off, I love cars and bikes and I have done restorations myself in the past. The premise that these cars are 'better than new' is ridiculous in the extreme. Whilst there are definitely talented people in that shop, for sure the outcomes are largely fudged and disguised by layers of 'bog' and thick paint (and the cost? WOW) Some of the mistakes they make and the owners curious fixes to rectify said mistakes are mind boggling. If you paint a customers car when they did not ask you to paint the car, it is YOUR mistake and you should not wing a deal to split the loss. Remember, the starting blurb for the show claims that they are all about the satisfied customer and stopping at nothing to do the job right... The curious patriotic angle is a bit off putting for non-American viewers and not really relevant other than perhaps being useful as an excuse for poor workmanship (don't criticise my work or you are criticising America?)It makes for brain off viewing and is entertaining if only for the cockups, so enjoy.
