Such a humble guy.. I flew to dallas from Los Angeles and I told my family to go to his shop. We where at his clothing shop and ask the clerk if richard was around and she said he was in his office on a phone call so I decided to leave,as soon as I'm leaving he comes out and say I'm not about to let you leave without a photo. He even signed my shirt!
Say what you want about his on-air personality or even the quality of the cars they sell, this guy is smart. He knows how to sell his brand and has succeed.
Love this show. It's over produced but in a good way. Theres no mock macho bullshit or idiots shouting at each other for no reason. No shoe horned in drama. It's got a great down to earth vibe. Richard seems like a cool guy. I wish him and GMG continued success.
its amazing how he gives the bearded wonder so much credit. dont think i have ever seen anyone give their mechanic that much credit people in his position usually just take all the credit.
Harpoon_Bakery it’s his business that he built why would he give something away like that. I think Aaron was showed the respect he deserved and when he felt like he wasn’t getting what he wanted he was allowed to go with no hard feelings and continued respect. He was not entitled to a part of that business. At the end of the day he was what he was and that was a employee.
My Dad met this guy at the race track a while back during the nationals. He is just like he is on the show. Seems like a legit dude who is very funny and friendly.
JoeGo101 Yeah it is.....and it's great....just imagine though how many thousands of guys tried and didn't make it? The "theme" in america is if you work hard, you'll make it...umm no....it isn't only hard work....it is hard work, knowing the right people, having the right experience and, as Warren Buffet says, a whole boat load of luck... Yeah, him winning those races put his name out there......skill? yeah...but a WHOLE lotta luck.....speeding down the highway at double the speed limit and NOT getting caught by the cops played just as much part in his win as his skill.... A good example of this is: I forget which car it was...but if he didn't have it done on x day, he'd lose the bet and $50,000.00...imagine if on the way back from the paint shop or wherever, the truck got hit and the car ruined? (like that beautiful mustang in that one episode).....there goes $50K...... Not a lot of people admit it, but there's a boat load of luck involved in "making" it.......
Richard Rawlings and his team make my evenings a much nicer watch. I so wish I could come into some doh so as I could ask him to create a one off. New season starting here on Monday and I so hope that KC is still part of the show. What a top bloke. Love you guys, keep it up.
giving credit and treating someone the right way are two totally different things. Aaron should have been part owner, i just can't for the life of me figure out why he was not "cut-in" ...he was the lifeblood of the fab part of the operation.
Kudos to the Dallas Morning News. I have never seen such as well produced interview come out of a TV news station, and DMN is a newspaper. We have infinite bandwidth, we don't need thirty second interviews with no content! I really appreciate the interviewer, crew and post team on this piece. Also I love Richard and Aaron. Such a great show, and I'm not even a car fan.
Richard is a stand up cat! I got to meet him at his restaurant in 2015 when he was unveiling the Pontiac he built for his buddies down under, the man will shake everyone’s hand he can, stop and take a shot with you, etc. this interview really shows the man I got to meet.. genuine to the core! He was just able to push his brand to the stand out/show stopper that it is. He had the drive and tools to do it. Great guy all around!
This little interview goes back to how I started out. I am a hands on guy but little business sense (lack the patience for paper work and phone calls). I started out 30 odd yrs ago building houses and taking home about $500 a week. give r take depending on hours worked. I wasn't happy nor going to get "rich" bringing home $500 a week. I started bringing home scrap wood and made bird houses, mail boxes, trinket boxes, blanet boxes and hope chest. As i made fuck ups and fuck ups and more fuck ups I learned to understand wood and the grain an how it would behave. My $15 bird houses went to $20-30 etc. My blanket boxes/hope chest went from $50-$150 to $500 all because I was learning how wood worked (and the finishes). I am sure if i had stayed at wood working I would be where i am now financially but my passion was in cars and I bought a 84 monte carlo which had a 350 4 bolt already. I took that car to the bones. I sold off the rims to offset the cost. I worked that car for 8 mths near every night and weekends. sold it and tripled my coin. i was ughh at the time spent to only get 3x my money back but at the same time i loved every min of what I was doing. I bought a rx7 after that and put a 3.8 buick turbo into it. painted it and sold that for 5x more than I paid for it and the engine/trans. Divorced my 1st wife because she hated how much I was ignoring her lol . (the sex was boring as fuck anyway so did't matter anyway lol) Point is as I have already got long winded. Is there is always a way to escape working for someone else and making them money. Everyone has a talent or passion but don't expect to open shop and everyone within 1000 miles know who you are just because you opened up shop. Took me near 30+ yrs to build a name in custom work. But I will say I do not advertise at all and I am usually that busy I have to force myself to not work a 12-14 hour day or take a saturday off. If you want it bad enough you will punch in the time and effort.
Richard and Arron both seem like the type of guys you would want to go have a Beer with. They seem genuine all the way unlike other tv builders . Would love to meet these lads. Great show! Never miss an episode
Richard Rawlings is the most HONEST and ORIGINAL dude on the planet! He keeps it real because he's had nothing. He's also got everything right now. He knows not to shit where he eats and to take care of those who made it possible for him to be as successful as he is today. No ONE person is EVER successful by themself. It will always require a collaboration or help in some way from some other place. He recognizes that and that's why I'd like to have a beer and share a doobe with him!! AND AARON!!
I really liked the interviewer in this piece. The fact that he has a legitimate interest in cars made the whole thing feel that much more sincere. Good on ya, Dallas Morning News.
Having a Richard Rawlings in Australia as a business partner would of made a huge difference in my 38yrs in the motor trade. Ah well 54 still going after it regardless😉😊👍👍
He's douchey on the show. Seems genuine here. Everything he said here is pretty much spot on. Show is overproduced. Maybe his fault, maybe the network, maybe both. It's a "reality" show. That's what they do. Over produce. Like he said, you guys that are hard core gear heads would watch a str8 up frame off car build show without the personality thrown in. They want the wives and kids to watch. That's why the show is so popular. That's why he acts like an ass on TV. That's why Roadkill fans and other car show fans don't like him. Btw, Roadkill is great, but they choose to appeal to a specific audience. If Velocity or Discovery or History channel told the Roadkill guys, hey, just act like Rawlings a little bit more and we'll throw you a cable show and a few mill every episode, I think they would go for it. I'm not knocking them, but who the hell wouldn't?
Road kill builds junk cars. can't Compare to gas money's builds. and yes Richard is a money hungry dude but don't we all wish we were in his shoes?? exactly
honestly I'd rather be in david Freibergers shoes. they build "junk" but the show is called roadkill..... they build awesome junk though, but their super bee and 67 camaro aren't junk. vettekart is sick too.
They didn't follow any rules roadkill listed. The car had to be within a certain weight. They went UNDER that weight. The suspension was supposed to be stock. They back halved the frame. Richard was supposed to be the driver. And Aaron drove. I'm full of shit? Why don't you actually do some research before you say something. You have no clue what you're talking about.
Glad to see the success that has come with y'alls hard work. I wish I had the knowledge, skills & abilities of these guys. Love the show & the work you do!! Two thumbs up!!
THe cars are junk, people are paying for the name right now which will cost them immensely in the long run. And this video is a lie, he got into the car business solely to get a show! As soon as this show is canceled the cars will plummet in value! Real car guys won't buy them! THe whole "empire" as he calls it will crumble because it's all built on the name.
Glen Haley now I do agree, when the show is cancelled he's gonna have HUGE problems, he has restaurants, a NHRA team one car in each class, and a fucking Tequilla business. He's overextended himself. See OCC Choppers, soon as Discovery dumped the show, 3 yrs later bankruptcy
Richard is a pretty nice guy if you can get him off of his cell phone. He's always working some kind of deal. Since Aaron doesn't have to worry about all that he is much more approachable and a very great guy to talk to. My brother and I had the pleasure of meeting them both a few years ago during one of their first season builds. It was a great experience to meet them both. As long as they can keep the Drama low (and hopefully no fake drama) they'll do well.
Richard & Aron have inspired me over the years to get off my backside and get stuff done so ill always thank them from here is london England , and richards book really does tell you how he started out with nothing to what he is today , this is one of best quality's of America is that they inspire & encourage success rather than the in uk who like to create celebs & then cant wait knock em down if their successful ?
I don't understand the hate for the show. It could be worse, it could be "pimp my ride" They build kickass cars. He makes good money flipping cars. All the comparisons of this with RoadKill is just stupid. Not even the same type of show. I am a fan of both. Haters are morons.
i love you're show it's not boring not like american chopper full of drama..this show is funny and love richard for what he does and drink beer lot's of beer...from the philippines
Richard is a very smart business minded person that was a great concept for a person who loves cars , was In marketing or printing and the idea of a TV show to build high quality builds is awesome now to have some money to start and to get paid by the network helps big time with making sure your around for a while . And it is great Arron gets most of the credit I am a ASE Master Tech and love watching him you can see his perfection and eye for detail . This is a great show .
I HAVE A 1953 Buick I have pictures it’s FOR SALE CALL 210-557-7716 I payed 15 Thousand for it guy screwed me. Need to SALE to pay for my cremations I am very sick 😷 cancer,copd, on Oxygen, Insulin Diabetic. Email me MsSexyLdyThang59@aol.com
I agree with him on the fact that most other tv shows build really expensive cars and really rare cars is good to see a show who builds cars fro regular people like me
The best part was that they each have their areas of expertise. How many vehicles/clients did Aaron bring in and/or sell for profit or bankroll during all those shows? How much manual work did RR do on those cars?
Me and my friend are going to open up a hot rod garage, and this video actually helps a lot some day you are going to hear about us on TV and UA-cam everybody just wait.
Rick, you're one of the truly coolest guys that I' ve seen on T.V. You're like A younger Paul LeMat/ Henry Winkler/ Brad Pitt mix of coolness. GasMonkey is a sturdy brandname b.c. your skillset is a backable commodity. Peace, bro. Sensei Rick.
Just had time to watch this you are amazing please stop by and see KC And say hi just some old guy up here in Michigan that watches a lot of UA-cam videos and works on cars nice job
In 2012 I met Richard in D.C. at the Auto show. Fast & Loud was premiering nobody was at his booth at the time and the odd thing is 2 days before this we were emailing each other on a 59 Impala I had at the time. We never did agree on a price but would have been neat to see it get restored on TV...59 Impala Tuxedo Black on Red with a 3 on the tree.
+white shadow You think running the business is easy? Do you think Aaron could build all those cars without Richard's money? Aaron had the skill but that means nothing without money and someone to back you.
Richard has come a long way from the start of his show. And I hope some of you haters realize that a lot of what he does is just to project a certain image for the show, he seems like a personable and intelligent guy off camera.
The most honest interview ever!!!÷ If only our President, senators, corporate America and every other money grubber would speak the truth I might sleep at night thinking "hey at least he/she is honest"! Nope, everyone who makes more money than this guy doesn't want you to know. Plus, he's into cars and everyone else that he surrounded himself with!!!!!
Did not know it was meant as a tv-show from the start. I feel sometimes there is fake made up situations but now when I know its just made that way I can enjoy it more :)
Richard why don't you come and visit Australia we have some sweet rides down under and I have shipped lots of Aussie muscle cars into the U.S plus some rare American too . As long as you can handle driving from the opposite side of the car .We love your show and all of your crew are very talented.Come for beers and take home some cool cars
I met him at a hotel in Pennsylvania. I think he was checking out and we were too so we were both in line. When he was done, we asked him for a photo and ya. But then, when we all got in the elevator, i see him walking down the hallway. He is obviously going to get into an elevator. Then my mom closed the elevator door without knowing that we could have been in an elevator with Richard Rawlings.
like, disslike, you like him or not. But thats life . I am a big fan of the show and that total mix of humans are fun to watch. I say keep on making a good show . Greetings from the Netherlands.
Richard is much more of a regular Joe here. I am sure much of that stems from not having any pressure to stay within the confines of time & budget. I have tried to do work for others over the years, and although I am very good with the car end, not so much with the estimating of the final cost in order to make a few bucks. Because of this, it will be interesting to see how well Aaron does on his own. Also, wish I knew most of what Richard does with the $$$. Love his new show helping other garages turn fairly good profits.
Such a humble guy.. I flew to dallas from Los Angeles and I told my family to go to his shop. We where at his clothing shop and ask the clerk if richard was around and she said he was in his office on a phone call so I decided to leave,as soon as I'm leaving he comes out and say I'm not about to let you leave without a photo. He even signed my shirt!
Fake and shit
Just as I thought, a real nice guy !
Humble, an true.
Mad respect for Richard telling it like it is. He is giving respect where it's due. Saying that Aaron has the skills and he's the business man.
Say what you want about his on-air personality or even the quality of the cars they sell, this guy is smart. He knows how to sell his brand and has succeed.

Man if I had the cash for a car build I'd definitely go to Dave Kindig to fulfill that dream 👍
He seems like a really good guy. Always giving credit where it's due

Good show. Watch it for the builds and friendship not the drama. Thanks Richard.
I don't care if Richard doesn't know how to fab or weld. He had the money to build a empire. Their not cake decoratetors. .
I once saw him at a bar in Las Vegas at 2am. He had just arrived with his luggage . Was just as sociable, as he is on the show
Great show,, great bunch of guys ,,, keep up the good work

Yep, this crash will be worse because of his ego!
Who are you to judge someone's ego?

"Relative to inflation, could my Dad have had this when we were kids."
I can relate fully to that. It's refreshing to hear Rawlings say it
I don't understand the hate for the show. It could be worse, it could be "pimp my ride" They build kickass cars. He makes good money flipping cars. All the comparisons of this with RoadKill is just stupid. Not even the same type of show. I am a fan of both. Haters are morons.
agree
I agree. however, I wish they didnt make it into such a soap opera. too much drama if they would just be about the car, it would be a great show.
+nick perkins the reason they do that is to expand to a greater audience. he explained it in the video
+Logan Terraglio makes sense, I didnt watch the whole thing.
hey man pimp my ride was my shit when i was like 6. i still love the riceyness of those cars, no matter how shitty they were
Awesome show indeed!
i love you're show it's not boring not like american chopper full of drama..this show is funny and love richard for what he does and drink beer lot's of beer...from the philippines
Excellent 👌 Aaron is awesome 😎
That's true that they must build up the cars as their legacy.
Diesel Brothers should take notes
Very inspirational and motivational
Richard is a very smart business minded person that was a great concept for a person who loves cars , was In marketing or printing and the idea of a TV show to build high quality builds is awesome now to have some money to start and to get paid by the network helps big time with making sure your around for a while . And it is great Arron gets most of the credit I am a ASE Master Tech and love watching him you can see his perfection and eye for detail . This is a great show .

Great interview
From the first time G/M Show came on, I knew it would be a huge hit! Good for them🤘
I agree with him on the fact that most other tv shows build really expensive cars and really rare cars is good to see a show who builds cars fro regular people like me
put Richard Rawlings visit in an upcoming episode Kounts Kustoms in Vegas! Danny Koker and Richard Rawlings have so much in common.
I just gained a lot more respect for him and what he does. Very cool guy.
A great Show! and GREAT Cras. "Whooo!" .. I wish Richard, Aaron and the whole GMG continued and great success!
great interview ..... I bought a couple of cars ... for 2k ... touched up , cleaned and sold for 2800.... it s nice hobby
Richard's best accomplishment was finding Aaron! Biggest mistake, letting Aaron leave!
He didn't let him leave Aaron left on his own because he wanted to do his own thing
The best part was that they each have their areas of expertise. How many vehicles/clients did Aaron bring in and/or sell for profit or bankroll during all those shows? How much manual work did RR do on those cars?
But Aaron's show failed with out Richard and fast and loud wasn't the same without richard. The dynamic between the 2 is what made it work
My show! He worked for it to be a success!
Me and my friend are going to open up a hot rod garage, and this video actually helps a lot some day you are going to hear about us on TV and UA-cam everybody just wait.
Richard is the real deal. Cool. All us car guys would love to be him.
Like the show and respect the hustle .... keep on doin it
I think this interview made me see him as a smart guy. Before I thought he was a clown...
Richard is a really good guy and you've built some awesome cars keep up the good work
GET YOU SOME OF THAT
Richard is a cool dude but he's got friends in high place to get a leg up to where he is now,good on him.👍
Richard Rawlings is so rad.
his exploration paid off
Rick, you're one of the truly coolest guys that I' ve seen on T.V. You're like A younger Paul LeMat/ Henry Winkler/ Brad Pitt mix of coolness. GasMonkey is a sturdy brandname b.c. your skillset is a backable commodity. Peace, bro. Sensei Rick.
Aaron Kaufman needs his own show.
actually they havent had any cars come back with issues..try again...your jealousy is showing
And now he has!
This guy's legit. I've seen his cars and guys from the show driving em. I even saw the olds rocket 88 on craigslist!

nice interview! always CAR and BIKER! I am there. living in GOLETA CA. Chip Foose father worked on my NOVA and Firerbird.
love this show the guys are down to earth
In 2012 I met Richard in D.C. at the Auto show. Fast & Loud was premiering nobody was at his booth at the time and the odd thing is 2 days before this we were emailing each other on a 59 Impala I had at the time. We never did agree on a price but would have been neat to see it get restored on TV...59 Impala Tuxedo Black on Red with a 3 on the tree.
I miss this show sooooo much
Good guy. Not seeing enough new 1 show build shows. Miss those.
think about how good his team is to do those amazing builds that fast
I LOVE THIS SHOW
Rawlings is the biggest tool in that shop. Just a business man
is that why youre mad?
+FearlessP4P1 never said I was mad...
what,no beer assistant. .hahaha great show me and the kids watch every week..
love the show and the cars.
Very impressive. From walnut Creek landscape Santa Barbara,
Wow, that gives Richard Rawlings depth.
I love this show they make badass cars
Richard is a great salesmen and a great business man. Like him or not. He knows his shit and he knows people and how to communicate with them.
I have a 81 chev New pain job 360 block is not reliable could you help us plz
This guy worked his ass off, He started from the bottom and worked his way up
funny I've never seen him do shit'
No Aaron did all of the work to get Richard his fame Fortune. He is great businessman but he does not do the work.
+Eric Cross he doesn't have to at his level
Stupid reality shows
+white shadow You think running the business is easy? Do you think Aaron could build all those cars without Richard's money? Aaron had the skill but that means nothing without money and someone to back you.
You guys ROCK!
Richard has come a long way from the start of his show. And I hope some of you haters realize that a lot of what he does is just to project a certain image for the show, he seems like a personable and intelligent guy off camera.
THAT IS THE DEFINITION OF HUSTLE KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK AMERICAN DREAM CAN BE YOURS LMFAO
estos. tipos. son muy buenos... RECONOSCO.MUY BUENOS. FELICIDADES
The most honest interview ever!!!÷ If only our President, senators, corporate America and every other money grubber would speak the truth I might sleep at night thinking "hey at least he/she is honest"! Nope, everyone who makes more money than this guy doesn't want you to know. Plus, he's into cars and everyone else that he surrounded himself with!!!!!
Dang Richard you're smarter than you act. Or is that and act? Love the show, love the builds.
Ps what is the conversion for cc to cubic inch ? Thanks keep up the good work from the uk...:)
1 Cubic inch ='s 16.38706 CC
So a 350 CID Engine = 5.7 Liters
My respect to this guy, he really is a bad ass
I always though Richard was a legit ass dude from the first time I saw him on GMG. This just solidified it.
For only a ten minute clip Terry asked some great questions. GYSOT!
From barbados w i love your show
cant wait for the new season! 09 07 15!
Did not know it was meant as a tv-show from the start. I feel sometimes there is fake made up situations but now when I know its just made that way I can enjoy it more :)
Ricard u r smart, now its time to stand up, back up urself when Aron left. I believe in u man.
Richard why don't you come and visit Australia we have some sweet rides down under and I have shipped lots of Aussie muscle cars into the U.S plus some rare American too . As long as you can handle driving from the opposite side of the car .We love your show and all of your crew are very talented.Come for beers and take home some cool cars
I met him at a hotel in Pennsylvania. I think he was checking out and we were too so we were both in line. When he was done, we asked him for a photo and ya. But then, when we all got in the elevator, i see him walking down the hallway. He is obviously going to get into an elevator. Then my mom closed the elevator door without knowing that we could have been in an elevator with Richard Rawlings.
what does he think now?
First notoriety from Gumball Rally? Any videos on that?
Love the Rawlings. Always good to bask in that American positivity!
Sadly, confidence is mistaken for arrogance in England. 🏆⚒️🇬🇧
like, disslike, you like him or not. But thats life . I am a big fan of the show and that total mix of humans are fun to watch. I say keep on making a good show . Greetings from the Netherlands.
great show
Richard is much more of a regular Joe here. I am sure much of that stems from not having any pressure to stay within the confines of time & budget. I have tried to do work for others over the years, and although I am very good with the car end, not so much with the estimating of the final cost in order to make a few bucks. Because of this, it will be interesting to see how well Aaron does on his own. Also, wish I knew most of what Richard does with the $$$. Love his new show helping other garages turn fairly good profits.
