fans of the show should expect one major change. The original host, jesse james, will not be returning.

booooooooo.

I always thought a neat concept for a Cable TV show would be to make the targets of the show middle aged guys who have not been able to finish the project they got in the garage under a cover and stacks of boxes due to work / family / or income issues.

That is actually a very good idea for one of those Discovery or TLC shows.

Yeah as most of the shows seem to center around young people who are customizing something easy. I'd like to see the shows' producers take on a project like a classic Rambler where there's nothing like a 'Year One' catalog handy to order parts from.

Monster Garage is still on the air??? News to me.

Overhaulin on TLC kind of follows your idea

The handful of times I watched it, they were making over a car for some guy who had trouble finding time to finish his restoration project for some reason or another.

Where do I sign up?

Actually, there is a clear path around my Charger, plus nothing stacked on it. However, getting into the storage shed with all the parts could prove to be next to impossible.
