The former do one job at a time and you can see how they cut out the rot, clean any rust, make templets, form panels and weld them in. It does look though that cars are with them for a long time. Bad Chad also shows a complete job in each episode - even cutting a srip of steel from... |

I've been watching it but overall thinks it's poor as so much that happens isn't shown. I was looking for comments about the Alfasud episode and came across this thread https://www.pistonheads.com/gassing//topic.asp?h=0&f=204&t=2097298&d=16399.11242 . Comments by 'Darren C' on the next page onwards fill in much about the show as he is apparently the engineer friend helping out with personal knowle... |
