Gotham Garage
Netflix body shop/custom garage show, based on trading completed vehicles for the next project, with the goal to trade up to a big payday. I find it to be one of the least annoying shows of it's genre, no"reality" fights and few self-imposed deadlines. No sign of an IH truck until the one I watched this morning- the shop owner finds a super-rare 1955 Lincoln concept car to restore for a national show, and he feels the need to have a suitable 1950's COE truck to deliver the car to the show. In a previous episode, they accept the cab of a 1954 IH Cab-over as partial trade for a vehicle. The crew builds a 1994 Chevy crew cab dually with the IH cab mounted to it as a car hauler, like the truck his father drove back in the day. As usual, not nearly enough time is spent on the actual build, but they do show some of the common issues of a conversion. There is one glaring misstep taken that could lead an IH fan to be turned off, unfortunately. The engine builder of the crew would be quite distracting to work with. I think this is the seventh episode of the series.
