Graveyardcarz is restoring a 71 Demon 340

There are plenty of people restoring Mopars better than Worman. His cars are far from perfect.

Have you personally seen any of the cars he's restored?

Have you seen other Mopars restored by?: Rodger Gibson, Show and Go Restoration, Restortions by Julius, Finer Details, Kohr's Customs, Resto Rick, Steve Been.

And numerous other less advertised restorers doing as high level work as the ones I listed.

Worman's cars look like a Chevy person restored a mopar. They are pretty looking.

The owner of the Q5 Hemi RR conv is not happy. It's sort of sad seeing the careless and uneducated mistakes in that car.

autoxcuda... wow... i didn't know my comment about mark worman car's looking nice was such a controversial thing to say! OK... i don't have any "dog in the fight" over mark worman. i don't know that guy, i've never met the guy, i've never been to his shop AND i've NEVER seen any of the cars featured on his TV show up close. however, from "viewing" the progress of the cars in the various shows, it "appeared" to me that the restoration work was done very well. there are lots of times in the TV show where the cameraman is under the cars showing the final assembly of all the component parts. the parts always "look" pretty nice. and there are lots of shots in the varioius assembly areas that show the same detailed work. finally, when the cars are completed, they look very nice.

but there is one other thing that gives me "confidence" that worman is restoring these cars to "some" level of competence - he is still in business and the TV show is now in the sixth (i believe) season. if worman was a complete "hack" and did as poor of a job on these cars as you suggest, i'm sure the resulting numerous lawsuits would have put him out of business by now - at least the TV show would have been cancelled.

i live in Pittsburgh, Pa. i've never heard of any of the shops you've mentioned above. i do have 4 barracudas and have considered having one of them professionally done. i would be interested in knowing where the shops are that you mentioned. i might want to contact them for an estimate. maybe you live in an area of the country where there are a lot of competent resto-shops. there are a number of very good "body shops" around Pittsburgh, but no shops specializing in "restoring old mopars" that i have ever heard of.

as to the "Q5 Hemi Road Runner" what "careless and uneducated mistakes" were made on that car? if you know, please share. Worman certainly seems to have a lot of knowledge about old mopar muscle cars. and i know tony diagostini (Tony's mopar parts) knows a lot about mopars. it would seem strange if there were a number of "juvenile" mistakes made on any of the cars worman works on.
