Disk 1

Episode 1: Codename "Daisy" - The beginning was cool with the Ford Cobra but then it got a bit boring. The segment with Carroll Shelby was neat.

Disk 1, Side 2

Episode 2: The Forward Fastback made for Ebay Motors is way cool!

Disk 2

Episode 3: West Side - A look into the Rich and Famous wasting lots of money on custom car and SUVs. Some slow spots requiring 120X FF. The Ferrari wheel changeover and preview of the car was cool along with the Hummer 2 custom repaint.

Disk 2, Side 2

Episode 4: Big Miniature - The Mattel Hot Wheels car conversion is way cool! Lots of technology going on in this episode. Comedian Jay Leno shows up to drive the new Hot Wheel!

Disk 3

Episode 5: Rods - Very cool.

Disk 3, Side 2

Episode 6: Heavy Metal - The ground up construction is incredible!

Disk 4

Episode 7: Topless - One of the best episodes!

Disk 4, Side 2

Episode 8: The Moal - Really impressive with the making of metal body parts for the cars. Actor Tim Allen's car is featured on this episode. Jay Leno and Tim Allen both show up with their cars at a car show and at their garage.

Disk 5

Episode 9: Dominator - This is a really good episode showing detailed construction of hot rods. Motorcyclist Racer Jeremy McGrath shows up to claim his custom build!

Disk 5, Side 2

Episode 10: Road to Riddler - Lots of beautiful hot rods competing. This episode brings together all the custom shop owners and workers hard work put on display for the world to see!

Disk 6

Episode 11: Rides (Pilot Episode) - A different sounding and very good commentor different than Jason Priestly. Assuming they felt the same way since Priestly showed up in Episode 1 above and they cut the original pilot episode from the beginning. This shows various rides and shops. Actor/Comedian Chris Titus shows off his custom ride. More of the metal fabricating specialized workings are shown. A little masking tape will do! They go deep into the car shows and track.

Disk 6, Side 2

The six disks are double sided in slimline cases so it's a nice compact Season 1 set. IMDB appears to be wrong since this Season 1 is listed as Season 2 on their site likely since they errored in only including their season 1 having a pilot, which is on Disk 6 of this season.

An awesome program for car buffs or just casual enthusiasts who ride in cars! This is over 15 hours of entertaining video. Racing, car shows, celebrities, and commercials for super cars. We loved the entire season.

High quality hot-rodding at its finest

"This series takes you inside the garages of the best hot rod builders in the country. If your a car buff you will love watching these guys build dream cars. The quality of work is second to none and this series gives you a great view of the work in process. This is by far the best series out. I can't wait for season two to come out. Buy this NOW!!!"
