I've only watched the show a few times here and there as well as caught most of that Daytona build. I can't stomach the guy.
The very first thing I noticed on that Daytona was that the paint was wet sanded to a mirror finish. This? From a guy that supposedly lives and breathes originality?
Anyone that knows their MoPars knows that they had some of the worst finishes in the industry. If you are restoring a MoPar to concourse originality, like this Mark guy claims to do, you need to lay out the paint with a lot of orange peel.
I will give him one thing.... He fixes some of the worst cars I have ever seen. Some of those cars (IMO) don't even make good parts cars. The Ebay Daytona was so rough, by buddy thought his $5500.00 number was more than it was worth. The guy that bought it paid 23 or 28 grand for it.
