Well, I think you're going down the wrong road with the
garage/restoration show theme. What I would really tune
in for is a series with more of a historical slant - something
along the lines of the "Tales of the Gun" series from the
history channel. My favorite episode was the one about
John Moses Browning. The one where they interviewed
Kalashnikov and Eugene Stoner side-by-side was a real
classic too.
Following that theme, I would suggest having episodes like
harvesters, threshers & combines (include the story of
Cyrus McCormick), the Farmall tractor, John Deere and his
moldboard plow, the story of the Graham-Hoeme chisel
plow, etc, etc, etc. The list is endless. Put the stories of
the machines and the men/companies behind them within
the context of our nation's history. Also, show some
current footage of a machine and its owner doing some
_actual work_. That's what I'd like to see. Just my $0.02.
