I spent about 10 days with them. Daren and I became really good friends. We still talk on the phone often. There are other body men out in the shop. Last few episodes you can see Derrick who is a real talented fabricator and body man. He is also quite the woodworker making some wild things out of wood. I will be going out again a few times and mark let's me join in on the fun. I love doing assembly and seeing a car come together. All of the crew are very friendly. Had a blast with them all.

Two Mopar experts looked over the car for Wellborn at the auction, and said it was a sad pile that would have to be re-restored.  That Graveyard Cars did such a poor job on the body and fit and finish that the car would have to be completely re-blown apart and then put back together properly.  Not to mention that most of the electrical items didn't work either!

Only reason it went crazy on price is because it was a TV car, semi-rare, and auction fever.

Wish I could say I was surprised but reading many comments on here, watching them (albeit very little) my personal opinion is that GYC is far more of a TV show than a real restoration shop. At first I was thinking that all of their ridiculous antics and comments were an act for the camera, however it has become painfully clear that is really who they are and are about. I have seen 2 episode (or parts of them) where they had real Mopar experts on the show and in each, Mark argued with them about things he clearly knew nothing about. Even when Goldberg was on, he got upset with them for screwing around.

I am very disappointed as I originally thought this was going to be such a good show dedicated to the Mopar hobby, but sadly this was not to be.

I watched several episodes last year but quick watching due to the drama and antics. Who are the guys that left the show?

Just Royal and Mark.  New crew is way better and actually gets things done, even if it isn't right or correct.

Were there two Marks on the show? Mark Worman didn't leave, right?
