ing a body shop, plus he wanted to convey his love of classic cars, like the '67 Camaro that he He fell in love. At age 5, in 2006 he founded Drs Automotive Phantomworks, which specializes in building and restoring everything from Muscle Cars and Hot Rods to custom upgrades. They differ from other similar workshops because they also have the ability to manufacture their own parts for their jobs.

Their shop gained so much notoriety that they were offered a reality television show on the Speed ​​Network, so in 2014 the first episode of the show aired and Dan and his team restored a 1963 Chevrolet Corvette and a model Ford, a hot rod. . the beginning of a hugely successful series that ran until 2019. Fans witnessed drama and arts all in one show, but what brought it to an end were a few contributing factors: We have a crew member who leaves, Dale hasn't. He has always been the most diplomatic and honestly, he is not afraid to complain. Hard work. He became a top electrician.

Speaking of all of us, I can say that we are going to miss him. Come here, Dale, and let's say goodbye the only way we can, the hit show made it much more difficult to continue running a business, since with many reality shows revolving around an existing business, the stress of being in front of a camera in an incredibly difficult dynamic for the business. ownership new hours a different way of operating filming and refilming these things are a lot to ask for people who just want to come to work fix cars and go home by dan short it was like that from day one in a post written by short in the The company's website explains its departure from the program.

Smith stated right after the show began. Employee turnover increased tenfold. The stress on the show skyrocketed and the attacks on my company's bloodsucking leeches trying to suck up riches that never existed came out of nowhere, yet it was evident in your post. He had nothing against his team, who maintained a high level of professionalism throughout the entire test, many of them holding out as long as they could in many situations that were never in their original job descriptions. This is probably why the remaining crew members received incredible support when he announced his decision to not continue with the show, as cameras are now closing on the final segments of filming.

Cruiser morale has skyrocketed and the love of building cars is bubbling again. Well this thing got buried in dirt and the worms have eaten it there's nothing left here to save this patient is gone this car is possessed I mean half a mile to five miles an hour the back end feels like it's falling apart the stress of the show took its toll on him In Dan Short's personal life, as with almost every other reality television show out there, there were many who said the show was scripted or that the drama was fake, so Short, noting Accepting the men's words, he maintained the claim that there was nothing written about the program.

When he left the show and was

open

about his experiences, there was nothing to be gained by saying anything else now, what that also means is that the rants, language and intense emotions in the store were also real when you mix this with The The fact that they filmed five and sometimes six days a week for up to 12 hours a day while trying to keep their business running would lead a person to lash out against this extreme attitude and the personality change was a direct result of the stress. that I had. subjected while trying to run the business and film at the same time while part of the show was being filmed, the short's father's health began to fail, bringing him closer and closer to death, the filming schedule was so demanding that during the final weeks of the my father's life, he was I couldn't take care of him and he said to make matters worse, my wife and I are now facing almost a million dollars in debt that we incurred to keep production going and he may have been making money as a star television, but in the end none of it was worth it. the sacrifice of his personal life made the difference big enough that stevie wonder could see that this is your project what do you mean you had no reason to look at it?

I did not order these parts. These pieces have been here since I started working here. This project is back on track because I told the owner we're putting his car in primer next week and it doesn't look like that's going to happen so get it, a lawsuit almost killed the company at the beginning of Dan Short's post, made reference to Bloodsucking Leeches trying to suck up riches that never existed. What he was referring to was a lawsuit early in the program's existence where a customer sued him for alleged fraud and took him to court. In 2012, a couple walked into the store and asked for a restoration. on a 1964 Thunderbird, after accepting the deal, they were quoted a restoration price of forty thousand dollars, then they paid thirty thousand dollars in two installments, but before making the last installment there was a replacement part that the couple believed would cost two or three thousand.

The dollars, no matter how short they were, bought it for six thousand dollars, which

up being accused of leaving them feeling cheated. A trial was held but the jury returned a verdict in favor of Dan Short. During the trial, the couple had accused him of being a liar and He claimed that their business practices were illegal and shady, so he briefly filed a defamation lawsuit in response, however it was dismissed even though things ended up working out in his favor, the entire process left an incredibly bad taste in his mouth. . He made it clear during the trial that these allegations had never been made in the previous six years of his business, furthermore, he believed that his notoriety and his perceived wealth were a determining factor behind the lawsuit.

The couple believed they would get some kind of incredibly high settlement or even a sentence. Obviously, this turned out not to be. That was the case, but it was a major factor that made Short feel like he was a potential target. It was an idea that stuck with him even though he agreed to a couple more seasons of the show. Yes, the program had good moments and achieved many. of happy viewers, but in the end the stress and hectic nature of the show was more than Dan Short wanted to take on. He felt that he and his team had had their moment in the spotlight and that now was the time to get back to who they were.

Knows and loves restoring amazing cars best today, Dan Short
