Watched a few episodes of “Bitchin’ Rides”. KindigIt restored one of these (I believe their shop is in Salt Lake City). Really cool to see all of the “technology” involved as well as brute force build. It was almost like rebuilding “Tomorrowland” :)

I've just started watching this show. Yes, they are in SLC.

I'm amazed at what they can do with a rusted-out hulk. But unlike other shows like "Fast and Loud" (the Gas Monkey garage in Dallas), they don't say how much they spend on a project.

I think their clients fall into the category of "if you have to ask how much, you can't afford it".

You are right. And their futureliner project took 19 months... they really do amazing work!

Let’s hope that it’s also less fake than “Fast and Loud.”

Absolutely. Yes, you can turn a rusted out 1941 Plymouth into a badass whatever, but your labor costs would buy you a 2 year old MBZ 550 SL rocket ship, if not a brand new one.

The cost of reversing entropy is high
