The "MONSTER GARAGE" Series that ran on the Discovery Channel from 2002-2006, headed by Jesse James, was one of the most creative Rod & Custom Projects ever put on TV.
It ran for 80 Episodes, and the premise was that a different group of quality professionals would be gathered together for a particular project and have 7 days to bring it to completion.
Simple enough ? Well, not really: If the project wasn't finished during that period of time it would be destroyed ! "So, ya better get that thing finished on time...or else !! "

When the '51 "Cool Caddy Daddy" Project was put together, the team that was chosen couldn't have been better !
This was one TRULY Legendary group headed by the one-and-only DARRYL STARBIRD, along with the host, Jesse James. Included in this multi-talented crew were: John Aiello, Frank DeRosa, Sr., Frank DeRosa, Jr.,Dennis McPhail, AND, one of the new, great builders, JEFF MYERS, PLUS, help & assisstance from Billy J. Gibbons, and, Bill Hines.
AND, oh, yes: It was not only finished, but it was one stellar Custom Rod to feast your eyes on !
WOW ! How'd you like to have these guys build YOU a car ? Well, somebody did for sure as the "Cool Daddy Caddy", along with others from the "Monster Garage" Series, were sold at the January, 2008, Barrett-Jackson Auction in Scottsdale, Arizona.

PS: Did you know that there was a British Version of the "Monster Garage" Show that aired in the U.K. in 2004 ?
Well, only 3 Days were allowed for the build...as opposed to the 7 Days for the StateSide Series. Maybe that was one of the main reasons that the U.K. Version folded after only 8 Episodes.
