    This is Mario, you'll see him this Sunday... he's pretty funny on the show...




    Here's Mario's 1969 Camaro with a 1967 Corvette 427 Engine and a 1967 Corvette hood custom fabricated to fit the Camaro...


    And recently we had his 1972 Challenger down here for some features... in fact we demonstrated Poorboy's Blackhole Show Car Glaze in one our features on the show.

    That's Craig Danzig's garage and he's really into fishing... (as you can see).

    He owns Blue Marlin Motors here in Stuart, Florida and deals in high end muscle cars and classics...

    He's got a great story behind the 1966 Corvette you see above in his garage, it involves a Pitchfork and Hay!

    Tomorrow's show is going to be a really fun show as Craig shares his story about how he found his 1966 Corvette in a barn and what the pitchfork has to do with finding it.

    Then he gets an interesting phone call...

    ***Bump***

    I met with Craig today down at his showroom for muscle cars...

    Man he has some sweet cars on the lot and inside in the showroom. Anyway, episode 5 is on tomorrow and I haven't' seen it yet but I think it's going to be a pretty good show.

    Craig is a real car guy and so is Mario and they did a great job when we were shooting this episode. So check it out...

    The show is on in 45 minutes...

    Mario is coming down to the Studio and I think he's bringing his son with him to see his dad on TV!

    I've had a chance to get to know both Mario and Craig and while they are very different people, they have two things in common, their passion for the car hobby and they're both honest, hard working people.

    It's nice to have friends like these two guys...

    Hope everyone enjoyed the show...

    Earl the Plumber and Mario both came by and watched it with me in the studio today, since they both drive hot rods every day for daily drivers I took a couple pictures of them while they were parked out in front of the studio.

    Look to see Mario's 1969 Camaro back for a future project...


    The 1969 Camaro has a 1967 427 BBC in it and the 1970 El Camino has a 512 BBC in it... both sound awesome!







    This is the hood off of a 1967 Corvette that Mario customized to fit on his 1969 Camaro, looks very cool...






    Skulls painted throughout the stripes...









    Mario has some custom machine work done throughout the car including these CNC machined lug nuts...





    That's it for today... time to take the rest of the day off and recharge batteries for the week ahead...

    Great show once again. Did Mario go with you guys to see the 27 cars at the 3rd location? He acted like he really wanted to then never seen him again. I liked the blue 442. My buddy's dad rebuilt one just like that except it was dark green. He had enough parts to make a second car. Neat stuff wish I had some extra money laying around to enjoy the hobby.
