I don't remember the heads being welded to the cars as indicated in the article. Originally Jesse made two heads and identically tack welded each to a plate. The teams where then allowed to mount the _plate_ as securely to the vehicle as they could. One of the teams had the idea to mount the plate on springs(valve return springs IIRC). This caused a controversy because the other team felt, correctly, that the springs would allow the head to take a much greater hit without breaking the tack welds than a more rigidly mounted one. I believe the inclusion of the spring mount arouse out of a difference in interpretation of the 'off the cuff' mounting instructions given by Jesse about attaching the plates. The issue was settled with a coin toss by Jesse, I do not recall the exact resolution at this time. Perhaps someone with the episodes on DVD (if they're available) confirm this?

The whole section of the article was dead wrong--it listed the xB as losing the contest. (It didn't.) I rewrote it; someone feel free to check my math. --Billfred 01:36, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

In the season finale "Ultimate Old School Wagon," it's mentioned that the Monster Garage is closing for good. --CCFreak2K 01:56, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The "Series" Finale aired on June 12, 2006. Sadly, Monster Garage is no more. Trustonay1 03:03, 13 June 2006 (UTC)trustonay1[reply]

perhaps somebody could ad some information regarding that midget so frequently seen lurking around the reconstruction area?

if i remember correctly he's called Body Drop. That should be a start if anyone is interested. His name is Chris Artiaga, enjoy. 70.224.42.216 01:52, 18 August 2006 (UTC) xenokilla 8/17/06[reply]

Why was the show canceled? Was it because the producers/Jesse didn't want to continue, or because of ratings?

There was a falling out between Jesse and the producers. Specifically Jesse wanted to do an Iraq build and the producers did not. So Jesse walked away from the show and produced the Iraq show himself. Because of the presumably bad feelings between Jesse and the producers the show dissolved.

BTW, this is after much forum research, else I would put in the article. Nodekeeper 09:45, 20 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I think the whole thing was a bit of a mystery why it lasted so long.Landroo (talk) 00:52, 3 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]
