The Hollywood crew that scripts these shows undoubtedly fluffs-up the day to day stuff to make it more of a soap opera. Doesn't mean that shop life isn't without the normal BS but the show's producers have to "sex it up" with arguments and temper tantrums and high drama so that people will watch. You don't really think all those "deadlines" are real? Maybe some are but without the pressure of "deadlines" to get cars done the drama would be lessened.

I have recently been watching the new "Hard Shine" show filmed at SoCal Speed Shop. Same sh*t, different shop. Okay, no Dwayne bellowing at everybody but it's the same soap opera. The only reason these shops open up to the cameras is the huge amount of money. Pete Chapouris probably isn't the publicity hound that Boyd is but I'll bet the money sure is good. So what's up with the "cholo" gang-member dress code at SoCal?
