Chop Cut Rebuild Spin-off

for what it's worth, I do not give a crap about YOUR garage...unless you can show me something even remotely TRICK you have built...

Throw this in the idea hat at the next spitball meeting.....

Go to the guys that actually build the cool stuff....THEIR hot rod garage, their cool builds.
I'm not talking about the guys that do it for a living....I talking about the guys that hot rod because they LOVE it....let us/everyone meet them and get an insight on who and what it takes to build these cool rides....on a real budget. I'm NOT talking about the guys that just open up the checkbook and hire it all out.

The ones that build because it's in their blood are the innovators and they also that stick with it when the project takes a little thought and imagination.....not the 8-5 dipstick, ready to roll his toolbox to its next new home because he's a little stressed.

I could give you about 50 good builders ...on this site alone to cherry pick from...just to get started. Then there are the e-body/b-body/ Chebbie/Ferd guys/gals...well , you get the point

ideas???....I got a million of em!

well.....you asked!

Mopar to ya'

Now let me guess... your name would also be on that list, correct? I do appreciate the suggestions. There's always room for ideas in this world. But, it's the ability to turn them into finished products that makes you a producer.

Unfortunately, what you're proposing would be an expensive concept IF we were to see any of these people do anything. Otherwise, it would simply be a talking head show were some guy brags about his skills. If the crew actually filmed them doing anything, it would escalate production costs dramatically. A road-trip show can be an expensive thing to produce.

What we're doing is trying to create a cost effective concept because it does not have any network funding behind it (yet). The idea is to keep the costs low, both on the production side and the content side. I've heard complaint after complaint from people who look at CCR and say what we're doing is unrealistic for most people because of the price. So, this is an attempt to change that perspective. Yes, there will be sponsors - you don't work for free do you? Someone will be trying to sell something, which no one is making you buy. What we really want to capture more than anything, is the social side of the garage. I want guys to hang out, drink some beer, laugh at the mistakes, laugh at other peoples mistakes, and then be done by dinner time. Real life... Not "Reality TV".
