FWIW, below are the planned topics to be covered on "My Classic Car". I
have no connection, blah, blah, blah, and the show itself seems focused on
older, US muscle cars, but it does have resto tips.
I got the info off their web page (conveniently called
http://www.myclassiccar.com)
They do have text versions of the resto tips at that site, along with lots
of other stuff. Not as entertaining as cartalk.com, but not bad.
