    Thanks for going out there. My dad said it was a little tough letting some of the cars go and my mom was REALLY happy that some of the cars sold. And 'Yes' , my dad did not know who RIchard was, he had no idea and honestly does not get into that stuff.

      Makes sense, just a mess of a situation. Makes it difficult on the heirs if they’re not prepared for it.
      My old man has a similar mentality, although he only has 1.5 buildings filled with stuff, and we’ve whittled it down to two cars now, one of them being a daily, the other a project. Still a bunch of stuff left to go through, but now it’s somewhat manageable.
      I even constructed a weatherproof steel building attachment onto his pre-existing shop to help create more floor & wall space. Made it out of scratch materials.
      He leaves most of the laborious work to me, naturally. But it’s been really important for me as his son to have helped & continue to help go through & organize his mess. He gets to see some completion, and I either have to do it now with him here, or do it later without. It’s much better to do it with him here.

I thought that was the coolest thing anybody could do. So now I'm back on track watching your show again. And it's because of that. I just want to say what you did for that young man was freaking awesome. And I like the old truck the one that was maroon looking with the 289.

      His last head mechanic Aaron takes 1 year+ per project at his new shop. Although i think he only has one employee. Gas Monkey isn't a true shop. It's a film set with a Gas Monkey merch shop next door. Richard is the "star" and his lackeys are his co stars. He knows UA-cam, endorsement deals, and selling merch are where the money's at. And I'm not knocking his hustle, he has a good business sense.

    Business is business and any experienced classic car person knows there can be some strong attachments to material things causing one to bite their tongue sometimes. Regardless, you can never go wrong being humble, kind and respectful.
