Why doesn't my window glass shatter when I slam the door?


BLOODY HELL!!!

Just watched it. Can't believe they tried to shove that Jeep radiator into the car. Craziness.

!!!

Because yours is actual automotive-grade tempered glass rather than a window they swiped out of the bathroom. And it's glued in place.

This reminds me of old episode of american hotrod during which they are supposedly doing the first engine start on the project car. crank,crank,crank, crank nothing. OMG what could it be. Hmm, perhaps it's the fact that the coil wire is removed from the distributor. Clearly visible in the camera shot while the engine is being cranked.

As side note, I recently discovered CAR SOS on the NAT GEO channel. It's British based and modeled loosely after the Overhaulin. The premise being a family member of the unsuspecting vehicle owner contacts the show and shares the story about how a family member has had a vehicle for years or decades with the intent of restoring it. As usual life circumstances get in the way or an Illness of some kind. Depending on the circumstance the host finds a creative way to get the vehicle away from the owner for a 3 week period in which they completely go through the vehicle bringing it back to life then they reveal the restored vehicle to the owner in unsuspecting fashion.

The best part about the show is that their is very little drama and lots of actual camera time spent with the mechanic's as they discover all sorts of issues followed by the repair process each one requires. I enjoy the show for what it is.

Loosely? You just described Overhaulin exactly.

Loosely? You just described Overhaulin exactly.

I use the term loosely because they do the restoration work over a 3 week time frame instead of 7 days of around the clock mad man rush to complete the work like Overhaulin'. The show features vehicle restoration versus customization with Tricked out paint jobs and custom wheels. EI: the FOOSE EFFECT.

I just finished watching the You tube video posted earlier. I want to know where the drop glass FRAME is in the broken window? I would have expected it to still be in the door around the drop glass. The other thing that bugged me is when they first discover the Passenger door is broke. The Door strut is missing while the guy is holding up the door. Granted later on they finally show the strut is completely Dead.

I also enjoyed SAM and DAVE back when they did The SHADE TREE MECHANIC Show. It was about fixing normal cars and doing those average DIY mechanic jobs. Later on when they changed the Name of the show to CRANK And CHROME and essentially changed to just putting on Show SPONSOR Performance Parts. I lost interest pretty fast.
