Chasing Classic Cars and Jay Leon's Garage are probably my favorites. I really like the stuff Dave Kindig does too, for the most part.

Diesel Bros builds some awesome trucks that are actually very off-road capable too. Don't care for some of their antics on the show.

Fandom works is alright but the show has too much "drama." And I use it in quotes because it all seems scripted. I do like how they always have a day counter on how long the car has been in the shop. Gives you a better idea of how long these builds actually take.


ETA, to better answer the question it would be CCC for something that I want factory restored, like an old Ferrari. Kindigit for a hotrod/showcar type piece, and Diesel Bros for an over the top 4x4.

Restoration Garage and Chasing Classic Cars

Those two shows are the least scripted in my opinion.

I like Counting Cars even though I'm not really into cars or anything like that.

Anybody that says anything other than Chip Foose is a fool. Chip Foose is an icon and should be anyone's first choice to restore a car. So Overhaulin it is for me.

Overhaulin' to fix my ride because Chip Foose is a legend. But I like watching Fast and Loud more than any of the others.

Big Easy motors was a waste. So many set-ups.
I love how the trailer at the Hi-Lo tire shop just happened to have nearly new 1967 Mustang hubcaps.
(people who drave driven down claiborne and seen that place know why thats funny)
