Tappen B.C., known as Rust Valley, contains an insane number of classic cars and collectors. Rust Valley Restorers follows collector Mike Hall when he decides to open a restoration shop and begin making a profit from his collection.
Mike Hall, Avery Shoaf, Connor Hall, Michael Daingerfield (Narrator).
Rust Valley Restorers travels to Tappen B.C., known as Rust Valley, to follow collector Mike when he opens a restoration business, Rust Bros., hoping to finally see a profit from his classic car collection. Along with his best friend Avery and son Connor, they scour Mike's yard for cars to restore. Along with the cars, and there are plenty, there is some education, humor, and of course drama. The season finishes with what appears to be the end of Rust Bros.
I'm not sure they were acting in this one but it was slightly interesting. Mike seems to know a lot about cars the way teenage boys do; they know the statistics and history but have never turned a wrench. Maybe that part was left out. Avery is a total character, consistently funny, has a hysterical laugh, and brought a fair share to this series. Connor was less colorful but might actually have the business sense missing from others.
Camera work, sets, and backgrounds are solid and well done. Natural scenery was enjoyable, as were the marketing details for the cars. What action there was felt mild and natural. Dialogue was decent with some nice car details and a few laughs. Sound is okay.
Overall Rust Valley Restorers will likely appeal to reality TV fans, but not car buffs. We never got to see a restoration, just the car before and after work was done.
Not much here to limit audience age other than a few off-color jokes.
