Carb = Nostagia & Ease... if they are on a time limit, do you think they wanna worry about rewiring a TPI harness?

the saying is called KISS....or
keep it simple stupid
that's why carbs work easier, tell me if u'd like to be working on a horendous 1980's designed fuel injection unit.....i don't think so.

As a result of these remodeling car shows and the related advertising, everybody and their grandma will want to "pimp their ride". Soon there will be a Pimp you Ride isle in wallmart.
I guess I'll have to buy a new boring car annd keep it bone stock in order to stay punk. that bland so callled gto could work.
BTW: The entire point of customizing/ hot rodding is to do it your self. It's not the destiation that is most valuable but the journey young grasshoppers

Not sure what show but they did up a dodge charger for Joe Rogan. They powder coated the inside and under body on the show.
You could also do it the slower way. with an infrared lamp and cure each small section at a time.

i've never seen such shows, but i know they only have an hour or so to show a beat car driving / towed in and driving out a beautiful car, its more then possable that they cut corners and i'm sure it hapiens, as it was said the shows are for entairnment purposes and for free the owners really can't complain much, however its possable that they just don't air the "boreing" stuff like cleaning and preping the engine bay for paint and painting the door jambs.
