sahunt66 Posted October 27, 2004 Share #17 Posted October 27, 2004 That's why I don't watch that show... it's sooo wastefull. It made me sick to see them chop a pristine '70 ish El Camino 396SS and make a flat track racer out of it. WHY!!!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Griggs Posted October 27, 2004 Share #18 Posted October 27, 2004 I feel your pain. I saw them chop a really nice '72 "Vette to make a #$%* mud bogger out of it. I am not sure which is worse, Jessie James' attitude or the stupid stuff that they make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
240ZX Posted October 27, 2004 Share #19 Posted October 27, 2004 Well, now that Jessie James is a big celebrity and obviously making the big $$$, its not hard to imagine the likes of what goes on at Monster Garage. Sure Jessie is a very talented guy in his own right, but the people he has on his show are usually a bunch of hacks or worse yet....totally inmature egotistical morons! These people can't even get along with each other. Were do they get these people.....the bottom of some barrel. I think as long as you keep the frame of mind that these shows are nothing more than pure intertainment, then the show is fine. But the sad part is, that young folks look up to this guy and are subjected to some pretty bad things like...less than poor shop safety habits, childish behavors, and loads of fowl language. I always ask myself, after watching a show......would I want someone like that working on my car??? I think not, and that goes for most of those sort of shows relating to cars and motorcycles. On a fresher note...has anyone picked up the latest copy of GRASSROOTS MOTORSPORTS magazine? There are a couple of good articles (with great pics) on some vintage Nissan iron. Check it out.

Zrush Posted November 15, 2004 Share #20 Posted November 15, 2004 Tonite they butcher the Honey Bee on Monster Garage. Just wanted to let everyone get prepared with Kleenex. Vicky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
v12horse Posted November 16, 2004 Share #21 Posted November 16, 2004 There was some major 350Z carnage going on. This monster garage episode is looking pretty good so far. Sorry Honeybee.That was a pretty good show. I don't like the paint job, but other than that, it is the ultimate sleeper. I agree with Mario, it should have had big wheels and big brakes. Jesse's Honey Bee looked cherry by the way.http://dsc.discovery.com/fansites/monstergarage/episode/season3/slideshows/episode_50/episode_50.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Carter Posted November 16, 2004 Share #22 Posted November 16, 2004 Hmm, I dont know...I was at a friends shop today, they were working on the Monster Garage escalade ultimate tailgate mobile. I got a chance to look at it...and well it is a little rough. The paint is flawless...the interior needed some help. My buddy was working on it for the third time, changing out the hydro's that opened the doors for an electronic solution to make it work better.

Alfadog Posted November 16, 2004 Share #23 Posted November 16, 2004 What a waste. Make a "drift car" out of an old clapper from a scrapyard, and leave the pure ones for the purists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zrush Posted November 16, 2004 Share #24 Posted November 16, 2004 I was suprised the 350Z engine fit in the Honey Bee. The show has really changed since it first debued. All the "freebies". They used to only have 3K to spend. Now brand new vehicles are donated to the cause. Total build on the Honey Bee was around 38K because the 350Z was given to them and they include the price of the new vehicle. Hell, anyone of you guys could do the same thing if all that stuff was just "given" to you. Jesse said it took him 10 years to find his clean white Honey Bee that he drove there. He said it was only second to his favorite '54. The paint job was a joke. I didn't think "Bee" at all, I thought jail break. That car will end up in the scrap heep out back with all the other builds they've done. What a shame Vicky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
