Yep, he (Ian) even said he built it 'to show only'
true trailer queen, not the slightest bit practical
even by his own accounts, it's a 'what if' car,
all about a certain look (not my style per say, either)
but; (Ian)
he has some serious talent, especially for the tools he has
& shop he has, basic stuff, lots of hand tool, old school
like most common car guys, in their garages
When Ian built the hot rod for his buddy he made some mods to his car. Basicly a panhard rod for the front suspension. He does drive the car. Here he’s at Gene Winfield’s

Honestly, I appreciate this show, it introduced me to the mopars, I took a lot of ideas from the program, the books, the parts producers, and how many things have to be assembled and painted, compared to many other shows, it is much more technical ... mark, maybe he is strong for the knowledge, and not for his way of thinking, you can't have everything in life ... there were many more shows on the mopars, unfortunately this is the only one ...

I liked Dave Rea a lot. He would take the time to explain, and show you how things go together with tips to make it easier. Worman probably fired Dave because he might be a little more knowledgeable about mopars.

Full custom garage is pretty good. I like how that guy fabricates anything, kind of like Macgyver. A few wing nuts, and some bolts....helicopter that flies.

I used to think the same thing. Really didn't like all his B.S. antics and especially how he puts people down. Now I have gotten used to it and kind of think he's funny...……..as long as he's not putting people down, I really hate people who do that...…..especially when he starts making fun of people's weight.

Meh! It's kinda like watching any TV show. I use the mute button or look at my phone when a commercial comes on.
Record and FF only way to watch. My Classic Car's 6 minute info-mershal followed buy more commercials. FF

I agree, Dave was a cool guy, meticulous with detail.
I'm thinking Dave was more gypsy than anything... probably hung around long enough to finish that little A body he was working on then ADIOS MF....
I couldn't work for a turd like Mark, I gotta have some reasonable respect or the knuckle sandwiches come out...

Mopar muscle was written by mostly chevy guys.

Mark was not responsible for the downfall of that magazine. Several factors were in play. The internet and the need for instant gratification has affected all print media. Magazines cannot keep up with how fast the internet responds and reports events and actions. Mopar Muscle used to be better. They replaced a good Editor with a corporate guy and when that didn't work, they replaced the corporate guy. The inclusion of the monthly Graveyard Carz segments were like adding passengers just after Titanic hit the iceberg. The ship was doomed no matter what.
Their tech was mediocre after Steve Dulcich left.
Their event coverage was weak.
Regarding their tech articles....They were obviously more concerned with throwing all new parts at a car rather than doing anything low dollar. They had no ongoing project cars that I can recall. These can entice readers to subscribe in the interest of following the build as it progresses.
The magazine shrunk from over 110 pages to under 90 with the same if not more ads.
Mark is a silly guy. He jokes like a high school football player does. It is how a lot of guys got along...teasing, insulting and trying to out-insult the other guys.

What l always wondered was why no one ever called him WORM? I mean it is short for Worman is it not?

Can't stand and will not watch GYC, just received my last copy of MCG; don't get any of the magazines anymore and am tossing all of the past copies as I will never look at them.
