Monster Garage

Anyone watch it?

I really liked the pontoon/bus idea, great for the summer!

What show/vehicle did you like?

i liked the one where they took the old Porsche 944(i think it was anyways) and turned it into a golf ball retriever/launcher

I have seen it a few times I don't like watching regular tv though. too damn many commercials, for a 1 hour program seems like they show 45 minutes of commercials and the 15 left they spend 10 of that talking to the people on the team and about 4.5 mins showing them actually working on it then 30 seconds of driving their creation. Other than the commericals they do some pretty crazy shit.

I like the episode when they turned the limo into a fire....limo. it was cool. And they usually have badass paint-jobs

One thing I've noticed is that they always add a cool paint job and like 20+ inch rims to all the vehicles.Does anyone know what happens to the cars after there done?

i love how that guy paints their carrs!

its so clean

they are most likely owned by discovery channel... i'm sure jesse has the wheelstanding ambulance though...

the show is pretty tight, though... and it does show alot of real stuff going on...

the wheels and paint are usually freebies, which are thrown in by local shops, (wheels, not paint) and that gets their name on the show, and people see that... and buy stuff ... it's marketing...

that's why they got free stuff from jeg's... i'm sure that didn't help their sales at all...

but i love the show

i liked the one about the pt cruiser turned into a tree mulcher.:)
they sure do use lots of those autoloc linear auctuators.

i cant spell:(

Did anyone see this weeks?It was with the hearse.It was their first project they couldn't get completed.

Are you talking about the Surban that was transformed into a wedding chaple? That was finnished but it really sucked. The guy that made the pipe organ was a real asshole.

I want to know how the paint jobs are done-the way they look you know there is no way it was painted and glossed in one night....

These guys make engine swaping seem like a piece of cake :D

I've only seen the Bug/boat one which was uh... wierd. It looked like an upside-down fish-bowl floating in water

I'm talking about the episode where they had to turn a Hearse into a car crusher.I agree with you on the paint thing.

I never did see that one I guess. A hearse into a car crusher? Sounds like a pain in the ass to make....
I will watch for this in reruns!

no no. you mean junkyard wars right??? this is they get a certain budget and are given a car. then with that budget they have to turn the car into some crazy thing.

n/m i confused myself :confused:

i think i said that they play it off that the paint jobs happen over night by giving the car or whatever to the painter that night and they get it back that morning

they play it off that it was 24 hrs but that is bs cause i know a paint job takes more then 24hrs and im no expert
and in the show they play it off tgat it is like turn it in for a paint job that night and get it back the next morning so that isnt even 24 hrs. it is like 10 lol

HUH?!?!?! what did you say:bloated:

wanna hit the edit button?

I love this show. My favourite one is where they took the Impala and turned it into a zamboni.

Hopefully they dont run out of ideas too soon....

that was my favorite. they did a good job on the 'Slamboni"

I love this show !!! If I had a mustang I'd turn it into a lawn mower too !!! lol I thought the vw they turned into an aquacar was cool lol . i'd like to see an episode where they have to turn a pinto into a car bomb..... oh wait , thats stock !!! lol !!!

zamboni

I missed that one, how the hell did work?

The guy sat in a rumble seat in the back of the car, and then the shavings from the ice were hucked into the car (as in the INSIDE of the car) that was pretty stupid they could have made a hopper for that shit, cause they WRECKED that car by letting all the shavings go inside.

Then they had a water sprinkler that filled the ice in, off the back.

Was a good one, except that I really didn't see the whole thing, am I missing anythying?

Later!

I know somebody who has a 1988 Yugo GV that was built into a pickup. Is that monstrous enough? http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/images/smilies/grinno.gif - didn't think so.

But I'd buy the book if you could get the whole story on this monster...
