11/4/2023 0 Comments Rust bros tv showĪ: There’s enough American stuff out there. In the States, they might have made 20,000 of the Nova SS. When you build an Acadian sport coupe, like in ‘66 or ‘67, they made 557 of them. What is it about classic Canadian cars that appeals to you guys? KTW: You tend to feature a lot of Canadian cars on the show, like the 1966 Beaumont Sport Deluxe and the 1970 Dodge Dart Swinger. They shouldn’t be acting for the show.’ And a message was sent back to the powers that be that said, ‘Uh, no, that’s who these guys are.’ And they came out to see if we are who we are. You’ll see some footage coming up that I’m not too proud of, but that’s the way it happened.Ī: I don’t know if I’m allowed to talk about this or not, but when we started the show back in the day, there was a memo sent that said, ‘Hey, please tell these guys to stop acting. But when I lose it on him, it’s because I’m actually losing it on him. Nobody can push you to the brink like your wife and your kids.Ī: I thought I got pretty close that one time. But how much are your real fights like what we see on the show? KTW: We have seen father/son conflict on a shop reality show before, as if that is something that just happens in those kinds of environments. What you see on TV is him flipping on me whenever I buy another car. My construction company is still going strong, but Connor runs it for me. M: He gives me s- all the time for spending his inheritance. How accurate is that in reality and off-camera? You and your son Connor come off as a father/son duo where you’ve got the passion and the money and he’s got the business sense. People meet us and say, ‘Gee, you guys are just the same on TV as you are in real life,’ and there’s a reason for that - we’re not actors. A lot of our show is totally spontaneous, but it is TV, so. They always say the first time is the best, but once you’ve done it three or four times, you wonder if the quality is improving. You’ve got to have the patience of Job if you want to be on TV. KTW: How much has putting cameras in front of you guys amped things up between you? Do you push each other a little further?Ī: I don’t think it’s changed anything, do you, Mike?Ī: If it’s done anything, it’s increased our patience. If you take your thumb and your finger and squish them together really tight - that’s the difference between love and hate, that distance. But what do you do? You know what they say. I’m sure you’ve flipped out on some of your friends. But my son is introduced to the show and you can see me argue with him and take the role I have with Mike. You’ll see a little bit this season of me getting upset with Mike and me starting to do some things in my own shop, giving us a little breathing room for each other. Guys can get mad at each other, flip out, wig out, even get to punches, but the next day you’re still friends.Ī: Yeah. Has there ever been a point you pushed him too far? How do you two remain friends? In season one we see you get on Mike’s nerves a little and even fight. Well, a couple thousand… Saskatchewan is the farthest I’ve gone so far. M: Now that we have this exposure, I’ve got people from all over the planet trying to sell me stuff.Ī: And the thing about that is he buys it! Now, instead of buying stuff within a 200-mile radius, he’s got about an 8,000-mile radius. KTW: Has the show attracted more sellers or buyers? After all of this publicity from the first season, have you managed to sell some of them off?Ī: He’s got about 550 now! What happens is he sells one and he gets a little bit more money and he goes and buys three. You started last season with about 400 cars. If you enjoyed season one you will enjoy season two. We had some really great builds and told some really great stories. M: Basically it’s just a continuation of last year. Mike: More of the same s-show as last time.Īvery: They can expect to see me cleaning up after my messes and upsetting Mike. KTW: What should viewers expect in season two? With the show’s renewal and premiere happening this week, KTW caught up with the two to see what’s in the coming episodes. Filmed primarily in Tappen, the show also features several Shuswap locales and characters, including Mike Hall, the shop’s owner, and Avery Shoaf. Rust Valley Restorers has returned for a second season on History.
