Muscle Car Workout

The crew of Muscle Car Workout hit the road this past weekend bound for Braselton, Georgia and the Year One Experience. The event was held during the weekend of May 16, 17 and 18 at the Road Atlanta facilities, and if you weren’t there this year, you should definitely make plans to attend next years event.

There were events and activities for the entire family, from a play area with inflatable slides and bouncies for the kids, to a dry auto cross area where anyone with an approved car, could test their driving skills on a timed lap through a short track that had several incredible twists and turns. There was also an opportunity to ride along on a hot lap through the Road Atlanta circuit, so you could experience first hand what it must be like to compete on a road track environment in serious competition. Of course, the cars were running at a passenger-friendly rate of speed but you can imagine how cool it is to get a small taste of that kind of action and excitement.

While we were there, the folks at Year One invited us to their facility, also located in Braselton, for a tour of their enormous warehouse. We have some great footage of what goes on behind the scenes and we will have some videos of that tour posted to our website when it goes live in the next couple of weeks. So check back soon for that.

There were hundreds of cars on display from all over the country, and lots of parts manufacturers present so we were able to see first-hand, some of the newest and coolest aftermarket parts that are coming out soon, or available now, through various retail outlets and private manufacturing companies.

We would like to thank the staff of Year One for their hospitality, we are already looking for an excuse to go back to Georgia for more of that “Year One Experience”.

One of the most frequently asked questions is about the cars that are featured on Muscle Car Workout. A lot of people want to know how we decide which cars to rebuild and where they come from. All of the cars that are shown throughout the series are cars that have been brought in to Fender Mender for Alan and the crew to rebuild. The cars are privately owned and the work that is done is paid for by the owners of the cars. The cars that are being featured during the first series are all cars that had been brought in for repairs and are considered to be worthy of showcasing on the program. The owners do not receive any compensation but understand that there is a certain value to having a the repairs documented and broadcast as part of a television series.

The producers of Muscle Car Workout are looking for the cars that will be featured on upcoming episodes and are currently accepting applicants for review. If you have a unique or special car that you want to have rebuilt, you should think about sending a letter and some pictures to Alan at Fender Mender. He will send you an estimate and a time frame for the rebuild and you may see your car featured on Muscle Car Workout.
