I’ve watched them all and while I like the fact they don’t do an arseMonkey and just bolt on new bits from a box I feel it’s all gone a bit Leepu that glass super car is just pants or am I wrong?  |

Now we know what it looks like when you redraw the Lamborghini Marzal on the back of a napkin, with a yellow crayon, & with Bondo dust in your eye...  |

He’s more than a bit of a laughing stock within the trade, for various reasons. But a tape measure and a plumbline wouldn’t be a bad investment for him.
Though he’s getting paid (presumably) good money to build the abortions he does, So maybe the last laugh is on Him?
I just find it unwatchable as I have much higher standards. The pacing round like a crack addict about to mug you is rather unsettling too.

I only watched one. Wasn't keen if I'm honest. I don't have an engineering background so if it looks a bit shonky to me, actual engineers are probably hiding behind the sofa.

RR says nothing good to say say nothing...so ive been sitting with a bright red face steam coming out my ears and both hands over my mouth...OMG chad customs..I think they look exactly like what they would if i built them and that's why i don't. But i watch and its kind of enjoyable in a there not doing that really are they kind of way, its got to be fake hasn't it surely no one paid $40k ( i think was the figure mentioned) for that yellow pinto with interior house door hinges no lip or rubber wind seal in the door shut and the exhausts gases exiting right underneath the door to say the least. I do also think that who ever does the paint usually does a reasonable job though.

Its a little irritating that relentless self promotion yields better results than a good eye for proportion and craftmanship. But that is nothing new, I could name examples from the '50s too ( OK maybe one, but he was really famous...) While truly amazing craftsmen are often only well known locally. I bet those shows are not really made for car guys though. ( not sure which shows you can get there, but we have ones about duck whistles and alligator hunters. Those are probably not aimed at whistle or gator fanatics either). Other than that, I don't take it too seriously. If I'm in the right mood, I'll even watch it. Just for its cringeworthyness...  |

Glad its not just me who thought this too. I managed about 20 minutes and turned off as all I could think about was leapu and Bernie. Absolutely shocking and theres no way people will pay the ludicrous price tags for his 'creations'

I’ve not watched it. I can’t. I did see him chopping a truck on YouTube. The man scares me.

I watched the advert, that was enough for me and judging by the comments here I made the right choice.

Treated as "better than anything with fake tan in, but its on the telly" it's worth the watch.
Not exactly setting any excellence or engineering standards.
Or using them.

I got as far as bad. That yellow thing looks like a cross between a.. um... thing, and a Scamp. I havnt watched any of it but I might do just for the entertainment value, and that there is probably why its on TV. Personally I think there was something quite remarkable about how leepu went about things, even if the end results were, lets say, variable.

I watched the first series of mad chad.... Kindig Customs or whatever they are calling it on Sky these days is a much better watch.
Quite sad Mobsteel (again, whatever sky called it) dropped off Sky, think we only got the 1st series of that

Actually scrub that, i suddenly realised that I do know what it is, it's the programme before Wheeler Dealers.
Definitely looks a tad, erm, back street garage crossed with local junkie ADHD kid, certainly not high on the list of must watch!
Agree with the others that there are much better programmes out there, Kindig Customs (or bitchin rides), Iron resurrection, Mobsteel.....
