Exclamation Actually,...

...that is not the show, Dennis, though I will be sure to watch it!!

Zeke,
Yes that was a real show, and you saw it on the DIY channel. It was Butch Capps of Mid-South Gear building a Unique Motorcars 427 car. Incidentally, he builds all of the rear ends for Unique. The show/network gave away a completed Unique Motorcars 427 car at some point, too!! It wasn't the build car. Some people have all the luck...

I have been after him for years to dig that up because I have yet to see it, as well. I need to call him anyway, so I will tell him that others are asking about it, too. I know it was multiple episodes. It sounds interesting, from what I have heard. Maybe I can build a little bit of a fire under him. I think he only has it on a VHS tape, so the quality isn't great. I told him it was way better than nothing! As I recall, he loaned the tape and needs to retrieve it.

I have search for it on YouTube and have yet to find any reference to its availability. I will let you know if I hear anything.
