As a mechanic and custom car builder your show was the most realistic. I admire the fact that you put the car first and pull no sugar-coated punches. Looking forward to seeing more from you and your crew. Thanks Dan!

I find it hilarious that they ignore your interview at SEMA when a few of you were on stage and were asked about your plans for the next season. You explained that you had a lot of cars to do and that the demands on your time made it difficult for you to dedicate to your customers, your business and your family. I admired your blunt honesty on stage in front of an audience, and not giving a flip about how others felt about your choices. I tip my hat to you, your family and tge crew at Fantom Works.

As a former marine and desert storm vet I have ultimate respect for anyone that served in the military

I can't tell you how much I miss Fantomworks. I've watched and rewatched every episode more times than I can count. I'll definitely be watching for the new show!!

Being that Dan is a Green Beret is the reason he is such a stand up guy. You will get no BS from him ever. Try to catch him on something and you wont be able to. Much respect sir!!!

Dan, thanks for all of the shows. You are 'real,' and a joy to watch.

My late wife who was a car nut and car encyclopaedia. She never missed an episode and sais that your show was in her opinion the most realistic (within some limits which are acceptable in all shows of the genre) car programme on tv .... so through me from her, my sincere thanks for every episode..

I appreciate Dan’s comments and honesty. Being a small business owner myself, I know the stress of running a business and that employees sometimes have false notions as to what it cost to run a business, pay bills, and keep things running when the cash flow is slow or depleted. The grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence.

Finally, a reality show thats actually REAL!!! No fake drama,no B>S. ,and no phony people doing stupid shiot for so called Entertainment Purposes!!! What a breath of fresh air!! Thanks Dan for your service to your Country, and Thanks for for bringing us this entertainment platform for strictly ours and your pleasure. I hope to get to see more of this type of content from you going forward!! All the best to you all at FantomWorks!!!

Dan, you are an American hero! A master mechanic and an artist. Thank you for your service!!

Dan, 1st and foremost big thank you to you for your service to our great nation. I was a huge fan of the show from the start. Sorry about your father’s passing but more so that you were not able to spend his last hours with him. Glad to see you survived the show and are still out there restoring and building and doing what you love to do. Will be watching for the upcoming show. Best of luck in all of your endeavors!

People have no idea the difficulties small business owners endure. Dan nailed it. Everyone has a hand out for donations, family members that need a loan. Not taking into account the fact that if your short 1 month. The Owner is the last guy to get paid. While assuming all the risk and bills involved. I loved this show for the realism. He didn't BS. I really do appreciate that about the series.

Dan, I am an old retired military master jet / auto mechanic and I really miss your stories. The "show" was never a show to me. I owned an auto / boat repair shop and did things like you do I was a jet mech in the USAF and did the best job I could and expected everyone around me to do the same. I am finishing my wife's 56 T-bird and If I had the bucks to have it finished I would send it to you and I trust very few people to work on my stuff. I hope you are happier now and know that myself along with many others resect and miss watching your shop and you. Thank you! I subscribed and look forward to seeing more of you!

As a owner of a restoration shop. I loved your show. Thanks for your honesty.

FantomWorks was my favorite car show and I hated to see it end. I'm glad you're bringing it back without the encumbrances of a TV studio. I had no idea that you weren't getting paid per episode, which is just wrong.

I don’t think I missed an episode, thanks for being willing to put it all out there for us viewers. Thank you for your service to the USA.

Dan thanks for bringing the show back - you have a passion for cars, and it shows. I look forward to seeing new episodes and what FantomWorks is doing!!

Thanks Dan. You made the last few years enjoyable watching your restorations.

I loved your show Dan, it was really nice seeing someone who sticks to their guns about cars!

What a eye opener Dan!sorry about the bad parts of that! Didn't know you went through all the crap!what a great show!the best!

I miss this show tremendously. So many of these automotive shows have uninteresting characters and/or forced drama, but this one was wayyyyyyy better. I’d love to buy Dan’s crew a beer!

Thank you Dan for your service and the wonderful shows. I feel very sorry for what you’ve endured, as the love of money is the root of evil, especially done against you. I appreciate what you’ve done for the automotive world and us collectors.

Thank you Dan. I enjoyed your show. I could tell your a moral and ethical person. It came through. Thank you again.

As a Vietnam Vet I thank you for your service and thank you for the great shows.

We love you Dan, you've earned the respect of millions. Don't let anyone ever put you down

Well, Mr. Short, I had a conversation with a friend of mine, and we both agreed, if money was no object, if we both wanted a car restored to factory specs. We would send our cars to you, and to you only.! You have a great passion for original cars from the factory.! And for that I have the highest praise for you and your crew.!

Dan, Your show was the greatest car show on air. I am 71 years old. Most of your builds were keeping the car pretty much original which is what I love. I graduated in 1969 and own an all number’s matching 1969 Olds 442 400 4spd Muncie close ratio with 3.90 gears. Looking forward to your new show. Jack

I really appreciate you taking your time to put truth to the rumors. I was a huge fan of the show and will continue to be a fan of Dan Short and Fantom Works. At the end of the day, Dan has worked hard to create a truly great business with the hard work of amazing craftsmen. Thanks, Sir.

Don’t know why this took so long to pop up in my feed. So glad to have found it. This was always my favourite restoration show.

Mr. B. Here ! 👀😎👍. Don’t care the reason , your show was right on , guys did understand what it takes to build a car. Also you ( Dan ) are running a business so with that said La La land . Thank you Dan for doing what you do ! 👍👍👍👍

As a veteran, I was thoroughly impressed with Dan Short's attention to detail! Loved the show!

Dan.... I understand now why the show ended but I thank you and yr crew for a great series of shows! You guys and women really rock!! Thanks for a great series! And long live muscle cars!!

I miss Fantom Works on Motor Trend. One of the few shows that was worth taking the time there to watch. I am glad I found your KZfaq channel.😊

Bravo to you Dan. Your show was always, and has always, been the best. It was real and it was obvious it was real. I am sorry you had to go through all of the stress but glad to hear you are proud of the content you put out. We the fans knew it when we saw it and are glad you came out on top on the other end still doing what you really want to be doing, building and restoring amazing cars.

I am sorry that you got screwed over. You are an honest,hard working man and your work is impeccable. I do miss the show, but I’m glad things are going better for you.

I have full respect for you Dan! I loved your show and now I can watch it on you tube, so cool I saw you were always so intense on so many things and a stickler for detail. Now I know why lol Thank you for all your service to our country, very impressive to fly the Apache Heli and be a Green Beret. My friend was a Green Beret and the stories he has told me just set me back in my chair eyes wide open! Best of luck to you and your family and your crew!

I really miss Fantomworks. That's why I'm getting up at 6am every day to watch the reruns!

Dan - First and foremost thank you for your Service! Your knowledge and professional attitude is an inspiration to me. I've always considered myself experienced around Cars & Bikes having built and restored my fair share. I commend you and your shop for doing the right thing regardless of what your clients actually want to compensate you for the work. People with deep pockets never know what takes place to do it right the first time. Besides getting the right parts and not just third party parts is the heart of a quality restoration along with the ability to see it to the end. Keep on making what makes you most content. USAF Jet Mechanic

I loved the show and miss it. I still watch the reruns, even though I've seen them over and over. Hope all is well though. You guys did amazing work

Wow I am glad that you’re still going to have somewhat of a show that’s on your time and what you want I can’t wait to watch you are an honest man and you helped a lot of people to get the cars that they wanted built and you helped a lot employees to become what they are today, and I am very proud of you for what you’ve done with your shop !

Dan, for your effort in bringing a real restoration show to TV . Looking forward to new channel !

Dan I am so impressed and feel bad at the same time. We love you, what you do and your people. Crem de la crem top shelf hope you are successful and well. From a 71 year old whose first hot rod sleeper was a late Dyna-flow 322 Buick 4 barrel with duals and a Century body. I relate to the jackrabbit starts and floor boarding from the light. The next was an Impala with a 396 375 duals Holley spread bore single line dual pumper. She smoked several (total # NOT DISCLOSED) Formula 400 Firebirds from traffic lights at various local locations. She was right dignified (blue and white, pretty car) but became a beast when floored it. Love you guys man, loved your show but YT allows you to be yourself and show what you do so well without all that vise of time and pressure. Stay well be blessed and our prayers are with you!

Much respect Dan! Do it your way!

As an owner of a small business this why do what love. That why owning a shop is all about being in control of your road of travel Thanks Dan You seem less on edge good for the soul. Sorry about your dad. I know what that's like, in your time no one else find comfort but don't forget to remember Best of luck on the new show It seems to be working for Dennis Collins, Mark Worman

If someday I visit Norfolk I'll ask just for a photo in front the building... Always loved the show and the way Dan and everybody works. I also regret my late grandfather was unable to know the show. As a fabricator he was he would love it. Regards from Brazil.

Loved this show. You and your crew were the absolute best I liked that nothing over dramatized and your passion for the cars came through to me over everything else. I wish you and your crew nothing but the best!!

Dan your show helped me during a low point in my life. You're one of my heroes. I love how real you are and still are. Thank you!

Glad your back on the updated platforms. Real cars, real people. Safety first too. .

From a former Army infantryman and car nut, thank you Dan for your service, and your honest way of living your life! Hooah!!

Dan, as a person that was born into the Hot Rod industry. I enjoyed the show. I do miss it. My Grandfather Ed Axle Stewart was one of the founding fathers of hot rods back in the day. My Dad was one of the best, and my brother is still working with the old cars. Some day I would like to come to your shop and have a look around.

Always enjoy your authentic take on restoring cars and doing all the right things, thanks 😊

God Bless you & your family!!! Condolences for the loss of your father. LOVE YOUR SHOWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for your service sir!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for telling your story post FantomWorks. I have watched every episode, most of them twice. You may not be a paid actor but you are a car star, par excellence! Much success as you move forward with the new FantomWorks model.

Your show really was the most real automotive show on TV. KZfaq is where you belong. That’s the best thing about it, KZfaq gives all of the automotive content creators the freedom to make their show as real as possible, while being as entertaining as possible. Which is how it should be.

Thanks for everything, Dan 👍 My particularly favourite show was when you came to the UK and got to meet and talk to REAL car enthusiasts. You seemed to be really happy and chilled with the experience. ✌️

You and your stay with crew are true artisans. Thank you. To the new staff, You have landed in a class act, enjoy it.

Yeah. Character, hard to find these days. Will look forward to future content.

First and foremost Thank You for your service...enjoyed watching the show. Enjoyed your candid honesty about the cars. Appreciated your stickler to details. Right is right ,,not right and almost...look forward to the future videos... hope Bobby is still around. Top notch old school mechanic.

Thanks Dan for giving me hours of quality entertainment over the years.

It's so good to see you back on. I just well in one sense wish my husband had lived to see that but no he's so much better off in heaven. But it is good to see you. And thank you tuna with no crust.

Dan, Thank you for giving it another try as I have seen most of your show several times and it will be AWESOME to see new ones! Good luck with this next chapter in your life! Also Thank you for your service to our Country!

Thank you for taking the time to fill in the gaps. Your show was most engaging and real. I hope your success is even sweeter now.

Dan, we love you!!!

I just want to say to Dan thank you for your 24 yrs of service in the Army ✌💖☮

Miss the show, one of my favorites.

👍👍 , I’m glad your on a path that you have chosen.

I've always been a big fan of your honest, no nonsense approach to people, the business, and the cars themselves. And I've always gotten a chuckle out of (sorry for butchering this) "if we have to pick between you and your car.....we are not picking you" Thanks for everything!

So glad to vicariously join your journey! Clearly your production contract was too one sided and you were taken advantage of like many others. Much credit to you for fulfilling your commitment. Thank you for shedding more light on your experience. Hopefully you will profit now in more ways to make it worth your while. Thank you for your honesty, integrity, realism, and your service. Good luck!

Stoked to come across this video and hear that you are now continuing the show here on YT!!! As a lifelong resident of Virginia Beach and Norfolk you and your team of craftsman instilled a bit of hometown pride in what you guys do. Keep up the great work and you've just gained a new, stoked, subscriber!!!

Dan - Loved your show and the fact you gave the customer, up front, what a realistic estimate for the work to be done would cost, so they could make an informed decision. I appreciate you taking time to talk to me about doing a custom convertible conversion of a 1960 DeSoto Adventurer, and what you thought that would cost. The project never got off the ground, but at least I didn't get in over my head when I was only able to spend $80-$90k on a project that you estimated would cost closer to $150K. I look forward to seeing more of your videos. Thanks!

Well Dan, i really love your work. I miss your tv show until i find you again, now at youtube. I just immediately subscribed to your channel, and now I can enjoy every new project of yours. I wish you all the luck the world can give you, and I send you my sincere greetings here from Brazil.

Holy shit, you’re still around and filming?! Subscribed! That was my fav car build show to ever air on tv. The algorithm FINALLY delivered a video to my feed I’m thankful for

Great Job Dan. Loved your show. Glad your still doing what you love. - building wonderful memories with those you love. Gary

As a GM World Class Technician glad to see you doing your thing. I tip my hat to you and the crew.

Dan, your realism is what made the show! Keep the cars rollin'

We miss you Dan but will see you on cmax TV. Great show that I'll miss. So impressive on how you took care of history.

I find it hard to believe as smart as Dan is, he never made any money off the show.

I always thought that Dan was looking for his next mark when he interviewed prospective "clients". The setup seemed the same for every show. They had to love their car more than life itself.

I always enjoyed the show. While I may miss the show, I have nothing but respect for Mr. Short. Life is way more than a show on TV... Have a good life Dan, and don't sweat the petty stuff...

Even if its off the air, the show still had the best soundtrack out of anything I've heard on the Velocity Channel

Out of all the auto related tv programs FantomWorks and Garage Squad seemed the most honest and straight up shows. With FantomWorks there was no buffoonery or phony deadlines, no berating of the work crew and no just getting by to make something work. Mr. Short never seemed to shine his customers on. Plus, there were no ridiculous and over-the-top projects. Unfortunately, I came to realize that I could never invest in a project car, no matter how much sentimental value it might have. Collectors and auctions have kicked the regular car guy in the nuts.

I do miss your show. I have a great appreciation for not only the caliber of your work, I applaud you for your dedication to do what is right. I am thrilled to hear that you have a fresh show, and that it is Your very own show. I look forward to watching it.

As friends always do me and my buddies talk about what we would do if we won the lottery and where we would have our dream car built. I have always answered Fantomworks. You guys are amazing and do work that is 100% unparalleled. Keep up the good work and I’m damn glad to see y’all have went back to your roots and doing what you love.

Thank you Dan for the knowledge of how to care for certain cars a certain way and how to fix cars in ways I didn't know.

Best line ever: "If we have to choose between you and your car, we're not choosing you." Way to keep it real, Dan.

I just wanted to say HI and I'm glad that you're doing well. I hauled a Corvette from Pittsburgh to you then picked up a VW going back to Pittsburgh when I was hauling exotic and classic cars for Quality Transport out of Johnstown, Pa. Meeting you in person was to this day one of my most memorable times driving truck. My father also loved watching your show but he passed away in 2017. I've been out here 29 years and finally retiring and building my own cars/trucks in Rome, Ga. I pray that you stay doing what you love to do and also successful at it. I'm done rambling so have a wonderful day!!

For what is worth, when you mention man hours and labor costs, I always felt you guys work cheap considering the skill level and quality of work you guys do. You were my favorite car show at the time.

Well... look what I bumped into.... a continuation of my favorite show. I hope this is more relaxed, less stressful and more enjoyable for you, Dan.

From one Veteran to another, thank you for your service, the entertainment and the realistic view of auto restoration. I will miss your show.

I like Dan Short he and his approach to this format are the most realistic and honest. He is a good man. Love his test drives to see for himself and his instance on safety first and foremost.

Hey Dan missing watching you and your crew working on those lovely cars....we all love your work..your attitude..God bless you..from coventry in england

As a car enthusiast the build are awesome, if you n the crew decide to keep on with the you tube channel you definitely have a fan here.

Glad you've been able to put the show behind you and are starting on something new, I'll be looking for your new channel and episodes.

I for one, am glad you're back. I wondered, now and again, what happened to Fantom Works. I wish you had a Canadian outlet, but you know the old proverb, "Wish in one hand, ... and **** in the other." Good to see ya back, Dan.

I really enjoyed this program. He was always straight forward about the build costs and time it takes to do the jobs! Most people who buy a car and want it restored have no idea what they are getting into. Even a fairly decent car doesn’t mean it’s going to be cheap! Parts are expensive, labor is expensive! Time is not cheap!!

Loved the show, the quality of the work, the skill of the mechanics and dedication to do things right. Glad the business survived and going strong. I’m subscribed to follow you and your crew in your future projects!

Thank you for your service sir. This was a great show and I sure miss it.

You're the only shop I've ever watched that I'd take my car to. You just do great work, and you do things the right way.

Very honest feedback, in my opinion will anyways be legend, in years to come people will still talk about this show/ workshop,will always love this show.

One of the best no BS, nuts and bolts, realistic custom car repair shows ever done. The breadth and scope of the stuff they worked on was amazing and you could tell that the craftsmanship was top notch. Glad to see it back in a more controllable and workable format as a KZfaq channel. I subscribed and will be paying attention to an old favorite that I've missed watching. Really one of the better car shows ever done!
