That's Craig Danzig's garage and he's really into fishing... (as you can see).

He owns Blue Marlin Motors here in Stuart, Florida and deals in high end muscle cars and classics...

He's got a great story behind the 1966 Corvette you see above in his garage, it involves a Pitchfork and Hay!

:D
 
Tomorrow's show is going to be a really fun show as Craig shares his story about how he found his 1966 Corvette in a barn and what the pitchfork has to do with finding it.

Then he gets an interesting phone call...


:dblthumb2:
 
***Bump***

I met with Craig today down at his showroom for muscle cars...

Man he has some sweet cars on the lot and inside in the showroom. Anyway, episode 5 is on tomorrow and I haven't' seen it yet but I think it's going to be a pretty good show.

Craig is a real car guy and so is Mario and they did a great job when we were shooting this episode. So check it out...


:)
 
The show is on in 45 minutes...

Mario is coming down to the Studio and I think he's bringing his son with him to see his dad on TV!

I've had a chance to get to know both Mario and Craig and while they are very different people, they have two things in common, their passion for the car hobby and they're both honest, hard working people.

It's nice to have friends like these two guys...


:xyxthumbs:
 
Hope everyone enjoyed the show...

Earl the Plumber and Mario both came by and watched it with me in the studio today, since they both drive hot rods every day for daily drivers I took a couple pictures of them while they were parked out in front of the studio.

Look to see Mario's 1969 Camaro back for a future project...


The 1969 Camaro has a 1967 427 BBC in it and the 1970 El Camino has a 512 BBC in it... both sound awesome!

This is the hood off of a 1967 Corvette that Mario customized to fit on his 1969 Camaro, looks very cool...

That's it for today... time to take the rest of the day off and recharge batteries for the week ahead...

Great show once again. Did Mario go with you guys to see the 27 cars at the 3rd location? He acted like he really wanted to then never seen him again. I liked the blue 442. My buddy's dad rebuilt one just like that except it was dark green. He had enough parts to make a second car. Neat stuff wish I had some extra money laying around to enjoy the hobby.

No, he was in the middle of a car project and had a bunch of guys there helping him, so Craig and I went on our own, the car collection is just as impressive as it looked on TV.

Everyone there was in awe of the 442 because it was so original and had all the options...


I'll see Craig this week and ask him where it ended up... I liked the 1959 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz convertible myself... but they were all nice enough to cause a person to drool...

Thanx for the 'stills' of Mario's hood, I couldn't really see the skulls on TV...look sharp (needless to say).

One thing I see interesting is seeing you with your trusty camera at the ready...love it.

I have hundreds of photos from the car collection, I posted most of what I have from Craig and Mario's garages.

Mario besides being a fabricator/welder/engine builder, etc. is also a painter. While he was here yesterday with his Camaro when the sun popped out we inspected his paint for swirls and while they're light, as in not a lot and they look shallow, they are present.

He's going to bring his Camaro down and we're going to do some massaging of the paint to work the swirls out and maximize the clarity of the clear coat and then I'll take some shots of the skulls that should really showcase the talent of the guy that did the artwork.
