Rust Valley Restorers

While I've enjoyed the occasional car show over the years, this one has the uncanny capability of making you really root for shop owner Mike and his crew of family and friends. Sure, like all these shows it's cut for drama, but the guy is real and his dream and struggles feel really near, and people feel as real people, not scripted roles.

As a consequence you keep watching and wanting to watch more - not so much for the next car (there's shows where the cars are much more in focus) but just to figure out how things aren ending up with Mike and his business.

Well done!

Mike looks like Dee Snider and Avery looks like Ron Jeremy. Great show. They give you the REAL deal about buying and restoring classic cars. Hey Rawlings you should watch a couple of episodes.

Love the chemistry between Mike and Avery. A couple of humble blokes turning their hobby into a business, finally. It feels authentic, humorous and not meant to portray a well oiled machine of a business, this is what gives it its charm. Would love to see more of the guys, all cast are great to watch and they have a great catalogue of cars to restore. For a next series, I'd like to see more intricate detail into the paint works and where they get parts from.

Original, unpredictable, funny. Don't expect too much. They do seem so much more unscripted than most of these sorts of shows. I loved it.

What a cool place. What a cool crew. What cool cars. But how about less talk and more restoration? Avery seems like he knows what he's doing but all he does is act like a buffoon. Somebody gets hurt on every single episode, not a good thing to show if you're a real business... But still I watch. I think the show would be great if they would just show the process of the restoration they don't have to give away their secrets but you know less dropping stuff, getting hurt, all the talk about losing money,and let's see what you're really doing with these awesome cars!
