How&#8217;s your show different?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Search and Restore&#8217;s not really a cheesy dumb &#8220;reality&#8221; show, I hate to see hot rod and motorcycle guys played out in poor light&#8230;ya know like TV has been doing for years&#8230; only a couple shows have ever got it right. I hate forced drama, I have only made it through about 15 minutes of that desert show as well as the 72 hour show&#8230; funny I got a call to do one episode of the 72 hour show but I thought it was a joke, and now I see it&#8230; it is!<\/p>\n<p>The show I&#8217;m doing is real family hardship stories and some feel good stuff. The only bad thing with that is the car building sometimes take a back seat. I know I have seen the cuts of the first 2 shows and was a little surprised on what I call, &#8220;Important hot rod building&#8221; stuff that got cut to the editing room floor&#8230; a couple all nighters of work just gone.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Will you have any guest builders that either A) have no talent and make you want to kill them or B) spontaneously break into tears?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I get to approve of the guest builders and can get them lined up a little. As I type this we&#8217;re about into 7th episode and I don&#8217;t think I have made anyone cry yet! I don&#8217;t think&#8230; Yes I require hard, consistent and awesome work. I&#8217;ll also say I was a little worried about it as the other hosts from the Power Block shows also help and co-host and help build, but most have surprised me with quality and work, Tommy Boshes really stepped up on the first build we did.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"Pictures and stories about Hot Rods\" href=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/tag\/hot-rods\/\" target=\"_blank\">See more hot rods and hot rod builds here<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-12579\" style=\"border: 2px solid black; margin: 4px;\" title=\"Tim Strange with Resilience Custom\" alt=\"hot rod, Tim Strange,custom car\" src=\"http:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/kkoa_3.jpg\" width=\"575\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/kkoa_3.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/kkoa_3-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/kkoa_3-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.myrideisme.com\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/09\/kkoa_3-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><br \/>\nTim Strange in front of &#8220;Resilience&#8221; an amazing Kustom built by Tim with design by our buddy Brian from Problemchildkustoms.com.

Ya know, I&#8217;ve built many high end hot rods for people&#8230; Some get so wrapped up in awards and exposure they sometimes don&#8217;t really seem to enjoy the car. This is a little different.
