Mine!!! Long story. I'll shorten it as best I can. After I assisted the Producer of CarFix with Curtis Stanleys 70 GS 4 speed conversion last year, (sent them some parts) I contacted the production facility, with a request to restore my sons 65 Corvette Roadster in time for his wedding this April... I was told there were already several Corvette restorers on TV and they would not be interested. However, in that conversation, it was mentioned that OPGI was looking for an early Buick Musclecar to sponsor, getting away from all the PONCHOS they have done in the past... Naturally, I sent them pix of my 65 GS. OPGI was not seriously interested in a total frame off resto, especially on ALL GIRLS GARAGE 30 minute show. SO they decided to perform a general CHASSIS rebuilding show. I was asked to go the OPGI website and make a list of everything my car needed. ie: Suspension, brakes system parts, hoses, lines, control arm bushings, springs, shocks, stainless exhaust system and fuel tank, etc. All parts were supplied by OPGI. I delivered the 65 GS to the Tampa production facility a week before filming began on the 26th and 27th of January. I WISH I could insert pix here but dont want to jepordize the show, as instructed. I cannot post ANY pix untill the show airs. Yes, I snapped some pix on the set and had a great time with Bogi, Rachell and CristyLee. ..and thats all Im gunna say about that. :Brow: TUNE INTO VELOCITY TV in your area, ALL GIRLS GARAGE Episode 602, scheduled be aired SATURDAY APRIL 1st, 10:00am Tampa Time. Research your local listings for times and schedules in your area. I have NO IDEA how this particular show will present itself, but I do know BUICK will get 30 minutes of well deserved fame and I got to witness the AGG cast in their best greasey moments! (I have shirt to prove it too!) I will post more behind-the-scenes photos after the show airs APRIL 1st... CANT WAIT to see this show! TUNE IN GUYS!!! Wheelz, Tampa Bay
And you now know a movie star.......your car! Very cool story and can't wait to see how it turns out. Scott
Hope this isn't an early April Fools joke!! Congrats, looking forward to seeing the episode!:TU: It would be nice if you could appear on the show too... I got a kick out of seeing Curtis on Carfix.
Congrats and good to see more Buicks getting some TV attention instead of the catalogue cars like Mustangs, Camaros and Chevellles
Is there any way to watch this online after it airs for those of us that don't have velocity TV? We just have an antenna on the roof at my house.
^^ All Girls Garage is on YouTube with free old episodes and you can buy/subscribe to the most recent one's. Congrats Wheelz :TU: I'll be watching.
This BETTER not affect your part prices now that yer some fanceee Super Star!:rant: P.S. Can you sign my parts we are dealing on?:Brow:
LOL. I thot that 'date' was lil goofy too, but when talking to the producer, there was a 'network opening' and this particular episode fell right into that timeslot. . .I was in a few 'spot frames' during filming, one I was assisting Bogi with the gas tank straps, and another was a Tshirt shot... I dunno IF they made the episode or ended up as an 'edit clip' on the floor..we shall see. ray: Wheelz, Tampa Bay
Congrats! This will (hopefully) be the day my new ride arrives, so there's a good chance I could miss it. Let me set up the Betamax...... :Brow:
Oh good... they won't be swapping the motor for a SBC crate motor. Looking forward to it, but 30 minutes (20 w/commercials) is so little time to see it!
