Im finally able to share this... Its been very difficult not to post ahead of time.
My car will be featured on two episodes, July 18 and August 16, on the Velocity Network.
Lou and Jared converted my car from an auto to a manual. I will be on the show too giving them the car and picking it up.
Their Facebook page is https://www.facebook.com/CarFixTV
They are also on the Velocity Network http://www.velocity.com/tv-shows/car-fix
Original Parts Group was a sponsor http://www.opgi.com/
Midas was a sponsor too! http://www.midas.com/
Ive been following them on Facebook for some time.
I saw them post that they were looking for an Oldsmobile for a project. But the car had to be in FL.
People from all over posted but no FL cars.
I posted "how about a Buick?". Some checking with production and sponsors and bam.. I was in.
It was clear to me that this was a special opportunity likely not to happen again.
The producer said they have so many emails, tweets, mail etc that its impossible to go though it all and that they'd like nothing better than to do all the cars. but its just not feasible.
I was just very very lucky.
The new.. and old. Mmmmmm Pretty
They, and the Producer were very good about the work they were doing and making sure I was getting what I wanted. The whole production crew was awesome. I spent the whole time there watching and I learned that making a TV show takes a lot more time than you think. It was a great experience to see a TV show come together. They couldn't do enough for me... I'm very grateful.
The Buick is on TV!
Midas put 245 60 15s on the front, and 295 50 15s on the back... no more rubbing and great looking meat on the back!
My new best friends
Filming is done, but we're waiting on a few last minute parts from OPG to complete the car.
Hope to pick it up next week!
