Muscle Car Workout

Residents and visitors who are familiar with the Historic District of downtown New Smyrna Beach, Florida will soon be able to tune into their local PBS station and see one of the local businesses featured in a new weekly television series called Muscle Car Workout.

Alan Goldstein, the owner and proprietor of Fender Mender, an auto body collision repair shop located at 208 Magnolia Street, will be the man responsible for rebuilding the muscle cars that are featured on the weekly half hour TV series slated to begin production in May of 2008.

With more than 40 years of his life dedicated to the auto repair industry, Alan possesses so much knowledge and so many tricks of the trade that even the most experienced builder may learn a thing or two about rebuilding cars. “It’s a car show for car people.” Alan says about the series, “I don’t care if you’ve been building cars all your life or if you’re completely new to it, everyone will be able to learn something from watching this show.”

Muscle Car Workout is being produced locally in conjunction with WCEU TV-15 the PBS affiliate that serves the Daytona Beach area.
According to Bruce Dunn, the Associate Vice-President and General Manager of WCEU TV-15, “This program will be produced in a high definition digital environment for distribution among PBS stations in at least 60% of the national PBS markets.” Observers note, “It just seems to make sense to produce a car program here in the speed capital of the world.”

The producers of Muscle Car Workout predict that the program will be available for local broadcast by WCEU in late 2008. Additional PBS outlets may begin broadcast in early 2009. So be on the lookout for Muscle Car Workout and see how the pros do it.
