66Batfan Holy crap – what world are these people living in – first after looking at some of these so called "restorations" I am embarrassed for these two yahoos – take for example the end of the AMC Eagle episode – they must have painted the car with the flat paint to hide the fact that the bodywork really wasn't done. You can see the dents in the doors and what the ^&*^ is the holes and dent in the rear quarter panel ? Not to mention the " we can do it for less" even tho they do NO work themselves other than removing some trim. No – this show is worse than Fast and Loud ( who really do their own builds ) worse than Misfit Garage ( which I didn't think was possible ) and truly a total cluster from start to finish. Hopefully it will be canceled and a real restoration show put in its place. To say that hipster Rutledge Wood is an " automotive expert " is a joke as far as restorations go. How exactly are they saving money over a "shop" as they mention in each episode other than cutting corners and getting the History Channel to drop some dollars on substandard work – no this show is a joke – please, please let it die a quick death.

belfastgooner I hate car TV shows. Coming from the UK and having Jeremy Clarkson shoved down my throat by the media on an almost daily basis, its not hard to see why. But this show seems to suffer from the same problem as every other car show I've tried to watch - the show isn't about cars. Its about the presenters.I know a lot of people who are into cars. They love owning them, driving them, watching them, reading about them. They can tell you really interesting stories about cars and their owners. The thing about this show is, it just isn't interesting. Watching people messing about on golf carts has no relevance. And what footage of the car in question is actually shown is contrived and scripted.There's more excitement in a broken scalextric set. So go play with one and give this show a wide berth.

jon-16211 It's kind of a small time Top Gear. It has a lot of talk, very little car involvement. In the premier, the completed car sort of emerges. No wrenching, no actual car depth. There is a lot of banter between the hosts, mostly inane quips, weak jokes. So not really car talk, and a lot of it. Maybe it was done just to introduce the characters, but wouldn't that happen anyway? Using a premise of a "rare car rescue" this show did not deliver. It was more like " hey there's a car you don't see every day" and then " hey look, the car is done!" I know they Had to start somewhere, but I think this bombed. I think fans are savvy enough to spot the utterly phony stuff.

jakestew Put together a dork pretending to be an expert with a doofy hillbilly and you have History channel's "Lost in Transmission".If you like seeing rich kids do stupid things to squander money while pretending like they are some sort of authority on the subject then you'll love this show.It really seems they went out of their way to find the strangest and most distasteful individuals to feature on the show.I wish I could get the wasted hour of my life back.The first two "restorations" are a complete failure. The DeLorean had salt water damage and was completely rusted out, so they had to scrap it.The other "car" wasn't even a car, nor did they restore it. It was some kind of obscure microbus that they converted to a golf cart.The basic theme of this show is that the dork comes up with a really dumb idea to convert some really crappy car that nobody collects into some sort of wacky sort of yard art.
