I personally like the show generally and I do think Aaron is fairly talented. But as stated on this thread several times they could have done a little research and made that a lot easier. As for the front suspension issue, that wasn't a surprise at all, I have a rather poor opinion of MF after seeing it first hand recently on a Cuda built. Almost every aspect of their kit needed modification, didn't fit or was explicably mal-aligned. Almost worse than that was their dealing with the customer which was disbelieve (never seen that before type comments), reluctance to help, inability to understand the issues, etc. It finally got sorted but not without a lot of arguing, waiting and in some cases modification.
Reference this episode of the F&L, I can't say I was overly excited by chopping up either car but it didn't bother me too much as I have done my fair share of similar things. I did take offense of Aaron referring to the Challenger as the "Mayflower" with reference to the technology. Granted it is old, however it remains completely viable and can be made relatively as good as the new stuff with a liberal dose of $$. I am sure it is nice car and goes fast but since they went to all that effort, they should have put some sound deadner (Hushmat) in it as well to give it that new car sound as well. At least those other hacks in TX or even the heros at GYC didn't have a chance at it.
