Yeah, they take the biggest "piece" they can find and trick it out. Such a waste because you know it will be trashed in no time by the losers that drive this trash in the first place.
There was another show on that was much better but I can't remember the name of it right now. On this one they would take a car (pretend to steal it) that someone had a long time or had been slowing restoring and finish it for them. I remember one where they took a 69 roadrunner and finished restoring it and put a crate hemi in it. When the guy saw the car he started crying. Great show.
