Yes you are loosing it! Just kidding! The show was All Girl Build, Watch bellow, it does have commercials, but we are all old enough to remember those. Cheers, Dennis

...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.
