You guys ever wacth that?
I caught an episode yesterday. They bought a 1955 F-100 Ford pick-up for $1750... just body, frame and glass, no engine, nicely trashed - just no real rust... fully restored it for $4100 and auctioned it off "at a small profit" for $6100.
WTF? It seems like every episode is like that. A decent paint job is at least $1500. What about all these man hours? Body work... upholstery, oak flatbed, new grill, new bumper, seals, trim... I just don't see that happening.
And $6100 for a good 1955 F-100? They never popped open the hood. The engine was a yard scavenge...
Hmmm
