Title: U Select It on "that show" Post by: MaineT on April 26, 2012, 10:30:50 pm So I'm watching American Restoration and he charged a guy $4800 to restore a u select it. I'm thinking that is a little high... I guess it was a shell, with no mech or base, but really?
And yes, I'm sure he found the entire mechanism at a flea market!! Title: Re: U Select It on "that show" Post by: Eric on April 27, 2012, 06:53:25 am When I watched I noticed he charged about 5 grand for everything... Boared with that show now...
still watch Pickers from time to time... But I noticed these 3 kids in my house so I spend time with them since the weathers nice... and I bought a 1950 Studebaker...

All thanks to Pixar Cars! lol Again, glad to see great car, and I love to hear it when people fulfill their dreams :happydrinkers: Title: Re: U Select It on "that show" Post by: sodaworks on April 28, 2012, 10:38:15 am Cool Stude!
