I saw a commercial on Descovery Channel for a show called Hot Rod Build-off... I guess it is a take-off from the Biker Build-Off shows...
Looks like the first build-off is between Jimmy Shine and Barry White... I didn't catch when it aires, but it should be a good show...
Dave Brisco
Jeez, too bad they couldn't find any REAL hot rodders!!:eek: ;) :p
i hope this does as much for the hotrods as the build off does for the motorcycles .even though they used these 2 ( which shine is a rat rodder ( the good kind ) )and barry white is a high dollar builder )
like yaffe the high dollar guy vs the low tech billy lane !
i like these shows which use different guys to highlite , i am tired of seeing boyd cotterpin . and his group of dips**ts.( except charlie and roy ) if everyone know how much of a crook boyd is they will stop using his stuff !
this is the way i see it , not wanting to start this rat rod crap again !!!so dont post about rat rods unless it has something to do with this show !
I thought it was interesting that they picked such a contrast in builders... Although the intersting thing was that from the previews it looked like Jimmy was building a "plastic" gasp 32 Roadster... I might be wrong, but would'nt it be ironic if the King of the "Rat Rod" guys was building a "kit car"...
Personally I think Jimmy's truck is one of the coolest rides out there, but I don't think there is anything low$ about it!!!
Dave Brisco
look at the parts , he has scavaged alot of them from a aircraft wrecking yard , and fabed the rest . example fuel tank , seats , radi over flow , i dont think a part on this truck is store bought .
low buck .
Should be a good show, I think Kenny should take on the winner!!!!
It should be an interesting show. I think Jimmy would be at a disadvantage. He has to go out and scrounge for parts to build it his way. Barry can make a phone call and have new parts delivered to his shop.
not sure but I think they said sunday but please correct me I dont want to miss it .Its going to be a sick show
Jimmy Shine and Barry White? Perfect what a match up! That will be good....
I saw the preview again, and it is for sure going down on Sunday!!!
Dave Brisco
It's in two parts Sunday 22nd at 9 pm and 10 pm, then again Monday Morning 23rd at 12 am and 1 am. I am guessing those are Eastern Time. It's on Discovery Channel, check your listing to be sure.
I will program the recorder tonight!

dave s ,
if i could get my PR guy dave brisco busy i would have a show !!!!! ha ha
Who needs PR when you name is plastered all over Rod & Custom Magazine every month?... Maybe they should just re-name it Kenny Davis Illustrated!!!
For those of you who have not seen it yet check out this months R&C...
Dave Brisco
Just did some reading on the Shine car that will be featured on the Discovery Channel show on Sunday... No chance of seeing a Rat Rod here guys, it is the "Shine" Supercharged Adurn Rodster that just reciently sold for around 300K...
Dave Brisco
I think that we should take up a show and have guys on here with different building styles go on the show! Like Streets and Matt, pro70 and treekiller, Bob and Myself. Wouldnt that be an interesting show?? :D:D:D
CALL THE NETWORKS!!!!! We'll call it the CHR Dream Team Challenges all winners, we couldn't loose!! Espeially if the budget for it was already there. What fun that would be to build a rod for TV. I would be like shine though, I believe that building a rod like he does it is true old school(as I know it).
I have a subscription to R&C and haven't seen it yet, when is it again?
Hey Davey,
The Willys is in the Sept Street Rod Builder on the last page in the GG Indy article too. How big IS kenny's head gettin'?;)
Hey Kenny, you know how those PR guys get!!!! I suppose next he'll be wanting a cut on the action???? Congrats on more ink, Kenny.
HHB... (Hemi Head Bob) :)
If you happened to see the cover of that issue you will notice that kennyd already has a big head!!! I did see the photo in the GG Indy coverage, but I think it was the blurb for that photo that expanded his hat size to XXXXL... ;)
Dave S...
What do you mean next... I want my cut of the action up front!!!
drg84...
O.K. so I guess If nobody else wants him, I will let kennyd work with me on the CHR Dream Team Challenge...
brickman...

Dave Brisco
