Maybe I am a minority here but I am a fan of GYC simply because it is a show centered on Mopars. I am also looking forward to the new season since they are promoting more focus on the restoration and minimizing the drama, but some is to be expected since it is on TV. I have been following a restoration of a HEMI Charger and it has been in the trailers for this season. I was disappointed to find out that the person who waited years and paid A LOT recently received his car and it had a list of issues. The guy used Reliable Carriers to ship his car, and granted that some things do happen during shipment across the country but the list was rather extensive:
http://www.1970chargerregistry.com/mboard/index.php?topic=3985.210 Yeah I wish Things were better so I could at least drive the car, Mark says car was fine when it left Oregon but will reimburse me for whatever it costs to take care of the problems .So I guess as long as he keeps his word its not the end of the world. But I don't get reimbursed for my time, I leave for work at 4:15 in the morning and don't get home until around 6pm so my home time is very valuable to me.(as it is with most of us) Here is a list of some of the problems!!
1.No brake lights , flashers,or turn signals
2. headlight doors do not work
3. Exhaust is 2" to far back and bangs on the car when you hit a bump
4. No windshield washer nozzle on the drivers side
5. Missing paint on cowl ( primer visible)
6. Dome light doesn't work when turned on by switch on dashboard
7 radio doesn't work
8. Left turn signal indicator on dash doesn't work
9. Gas gauge,oil pressure gauge not working properly ( I am hoping the temperature gauge is accurate so I don't let it overheat and cause damage to the engine)
10. There is a relay in the dash that is making a popping noise constantly,when it makes the noise the ammeter .
jumps.. Not sure what this is all about?
11. Front windows don't roll down without putting extreme pressure on the crank
12. A lot of rattles in the entire car (and I've only driven it a mile to my buddies gas station and home.
13. Engine has a few oil leaks
Hopefully there will not be to much added to the list after I get to drive it for a while!!!
