Re: "Trucks" on Spike
I'm glad I'm not the only one annoyed.
I'm glad shows like those exist, but man other than being a 30minute commerical for their sponsors its often frustrating and totally hard to follow when they bounce all over the place. Its completely understandable that you can not work on something constantly because you have to wait for powder coating, something to be welded or whatever. However they shoot straight for weeks and dish out the episodes over a several month period. Nothing says they can't air the episodes out of filmed order so we can watch them start to finish. I haven't seen the finished 66 yet, but from the photos it did look way to pretty to be used. |

Re: "Trucks" on Spike
what did they do to get 300hp out of that 283. I can't find the episode in the archives of theirs. I did watch that last episide and they say that they never took that front end sheet metal apart; I can't believe that. they take eeverything else aprt and not that. it must of had some rust?

Re: "Trucks" on Spike
300 hp is enough to do some giggle talkin' burn outs. They better show us the finished product even if it's next summer or it's a boycott from me.

Re: "Trucks" on Spike
You can purchase the episodes on iTunes. The motor build was nothing special - they just tore it down and rebuilt it using slightly higher end parts. The 300hp has to be a conservative flywheel estimate.

Re: "Trucks" on Spike
The Hot Rod TV guys probably rebuilt the motor.
