There are so many options for those Muscle Cars these days. It amazing the things they do on TV with the Mopars, Fords and Chevys.

The Speed TV channels Chop Cut Rebuild are building a Duster with a new crossmember/Hemi engine in it. Gearz is building a Cougar with a Ford Jon Kasse 520 cid Boss.

Ive been watching these shows for about a decade and no C4 ever. These damn Vettes are like the ugly son and fat daughter, only their parents would love them unconditionally.

Chop Cut Rebuild actually did a C4 back in '09. I remember that to this day

I missed that one.

He did an old Z28 with a LSx engine in it. I saw it at the PINKS TV Show recording in Famoso and the car did not impress me. For a TV car it should had look great or at least a 9 and it was a 6.

TV and studio lights would make anything beautiful.

So, whats the deal with that one?

Id like for Horsepower TV to grab a LT1 Vette and do what they do best.

I saw it when it was still in one piece. Shiny looking, but I seem to recall that it had a made-for-tv or 15 ft away look to it. The car was still yellow when you opened the doors or looked in the right places. maybe it had chipped paint- i don't know cant recall exactly. Whoever had it after the show rode it hard and put it away wet. I would have preferred oem wheels. whatever it had looked heavy.

I guess he couldn't sell it whole. Shawn has a couple of decent cars- I don't think he dismantles all of them.

I was told by a TV producer that motorcycles from the orange county chopper came out like that. Remember, the camera man will never film what is NOT supposed to be on TV.

Maybe they gave up. "who the hell designed this POS?"
