I agree - It would be AWESOME to see one of those shows do a true, acuarate restoration, faithful to the original, with a 216 or 235 truck. I'd learn loads.
BTW, I ALWAYS wear disposable latex gloves when I'm working on the rigs. With what limited time a have to spend on my passion of working on old fire trucks, I DON'T want to waste time scrubbing under my fingernails to be presentable again. It's a time issue, not a cleanliness issue.
It works for me, anyway. Just my .02.
