I know Rick Dale played up for the Camera but at least he is there in his shop doing the work. Well at least he was the day I went and visited and he made the time to come down and say hello.

Tricky Ricky.....I like it.  My opinion of Rick did take a hit when he pulled the 39/72 swap/resto.   tounge

The producers of the show pulled the switcheroo and had him act the part.  I suppose he could have refused.

Anyone watch it last night?   I thought it was not bad.  Really thought that Wagner Motorcycle was very cool.

I saw it, thought it was good. I love seeing anything old come back to life.

I thought it was weak.

It's so staged (as they all are). They film the guy temporarily putting glass in the gas pump (knowing its not secured well), he walks in the office, and then you hear glass breaking in the room where the gas pump is. Lame.

Yes, the Wagner was cool, but thats not enough to keep me watching it live. I DVR it, skip thru the adds (and the stupid useless banter), and just FF to the segment/topic i like.

Overall, disappointing to me.

Rick Dale and crew had a much better show IMO

I enjoyed watching it and it has helped business in a huge way for us.
I've met rick and Ron several times at different shows and events. Both very nice, good people.

When I was in Vegas they took a big chunk of time out of their day to show us around the shop.

i find the show decent and like most people, watch to see the items and not the fabricated drama (pun intended).

Overall, think they should have renamed the show. Kind of has a Van-Hagar vibe going in keeping the original name.

We'll I didn't like much of the second show . To much set up . The Motorcycle was the best and Coolest .

They must of found all the parts for the arm wrestling machine at a local flea market to have it done in a week as the top Marquee was missing along with the dial But in 6 days they found it

And the gas pump was staged so bad  Oo

I agree with most or these opinions. I don't think the show has enough to keep me watching. We'll see what they pull out of their hats in the next few episodes.
