Default Lou Santiago

For everyone who was wandering what happened to Lou Santiago (former host of Spike TV's Muscle Car and Ultimate Car Build Off on Discovery). Lou is in progress of starting a new Build program called Garage Insider TV. You can check on his current progress on the show and other projects @ http://eastcoastdomestics.com/forumdisplay.php?f=77 .

Lou told us he wanted to do different things when we met him at a wheelstand competition we entered. Lou went out to dinner with us that evening, he's a genuinely nice guy.



The legendary Lou Satiago of Musclecar TV, shown here with our driver, Ted Garvin, was on hand filming a new TV series. This was from the old shop. Bob

Great info ... yes, I did wonder what happened to him. There are so many of these hosts that are there to look and sound "pretty", but Lou was one of those that really appeared to have the experience and know how of what he was doing.

Pinks is another such show .... what ever happened to Nate ... he was similar to Lou in this case??? With the exception of Ken Herring, I no longer care for the cast or the show format.

I know Lou pretty well. He is a good guy and one helluva welder. I will let him know about this thread. He might just show up here as "Lukin' Fou" , it has happened on other sites.
