Dan and Lou on Discovery's Ultimate Car Build-Off

We are officially 3 days away from the premiere of the Ultimate Car Build-Off! They sure waited until the last minute, but there is finally a website and commercials for the show. The premiere is Monday at 9 pm EST, but we won’t be on that episode. Our episode actually comes on Aug 23rd. For the entire episode schedule, visit this link: http://dsc.discovery.com/tv/ultimate-car-build-off . Unfortunately, I can’t tell you if we will be on more than one episode. You will just have to watch to see!

Also, check out Discovery’s blog post about the show here. It also gives the rundown on the format and all of that mumbo jumbo that you might be interested in. You can also check out the official Discovery Channel page for the show here. It has shop bios, videos and all kind of other fancy stuff about us, the other shops and the builds.

Stay tuned for party info! We gonna blow this out y’all. Especially since the Bullrun premiere party got snowed out.

The UCB Team

As we mentioned in a previous post, Batlground will be featured in the Discovery Channel’s new show Ultimate Car Build-off. We are really excited and it was such an awesome experience. We can’t wait for everyone to watch. Heck, we can’t wait to see how it all turned out for the small screen. The show begins airing on June 21st at 9pm EST. We won’t be on the show for a few episodes. We are going to try to find out the exact dates we will be on, but not sure that is possible. Hopefully we will be having a celebration party when the time comes and ALL OF YOU are invited!

Below are some links to some behind the scenes footage that Discovery posted up. I hope you enjoy and make sure you keep up with our blog throughout the process. We will be doing some live broadcasting and posting up some vids that we took from our own camera behind the scenes.We got some pretty funny stuff all on our own!

“It isn’t safe anymore!!!!!” Batlground Featured on Upcoming Discovery Channel Television Show.

Tuesday, April 13th, 2010

We at Batlground have had the oh-so-unpleasant task of keeping our BIG MOUTHS shut since December. We had been approached about doing a new television show a little less than a year ago and beginning immediately after the Thanksgiving Holiday we started filming.

Here is part of the email we just received: “We have finally gotten an air date out of Discovery Channel!! We are looking at June 21st at 9pm on the Discovery Channel.  As of right now, the episodes should roll out on Monday at 9pm from there, in the order they were filmed.  A more detailed schedule will be on the Discovery website as soon as they put our page up. I’ll let you know if anything changes.  We should start seeing the promotions very soon.  Our webpage on Discovery should be up sometime in May.”

The name of the show is “Ultimate Car Build-off” and is hosted by Andrew Comrie-Picard (“ACP” driver of the NOS Energy Drink, Mitsubishi Evolution, Rally car ) , Lou Santiago ( Muscle Car TV show), and Chip Foose (Overhaulin’). I can tell you this past December was maybe one of the best months of my life, personally and professionally. Our Team consisted of Dan, Myself, Justin, Matt, Mark, and Tracy. Please visit the Discovery Channel website for more information as it becomes available.

Just when you thought it was safe with Tracy being eliminated from her show you get the whole shop to deal with now! There will be plenty of fireworks and drama, and I ain’t talking about the Hollywood pyrotechnics kind. We will be posting more information as soon as we get it. Stay tuned for premier party info, I for one want a throw down!


I had to use the clean version….
