I was vacationing in the area of FW so I stopped in to see what the place was like. I have been a fan for a while and am a big car buff. My wife and I went in the front door and we were immediately confronted by Audrey, the office manager. I mentioned I am a fan and...

I disagree with your comments. When there is mutual agreement and the customer demands a complete restoration of an old, rust-heap of a car, it's going to be expensive due to the work involved to make the car safe. Time and again, Dan insists that the car be road...

Love his attitude and work not counting prices. Wish I could do this! I'd be rich in a few years.

I love this guy. Finally a show about what realistically happens during a restoration. Anyone who’s done several restorations will agree. Always problems!

Fantomworks - Take too long.

Seems like other shows featuring garages and car restoration will have it all done within a month instead of almost 3 years. Is that because of a mass amount of projects?

What I don’t like is all the swearing. I can’t even let my children watch it. It should be rated XX and moved to a late night time bracket.

Swearing is a stress reliever for some people. For a guy who's running a business like Fantomworks, I'm sure that Mr. Short is under a lot of stress. I'd say, if you find this...
