LIVING WITH ED

Available Worldwide for DVD only.
Production year: 2007

Living With Ed is television's first “green” show starring Emmy-nominated actor, Ed Begley Jr. The first season (6 episodes) aired in 2007 on HGTV in the U.S. and proved to be one of the network's highest rated shows in prime time. The series is now a favorite on Discovery’s new network, Planet Green. Living with Ed was not only the first green series of it’s kind, but has since changed the face of TV. Soon after Living With Ed’s airing, multiple networks have put green programming into development and on-air.
Ed Begley is a dedicated environmentalist. No, let’s face it, Ed is a little obsessed, but he’s good at it! So what’s it like living with Ed? After thirteen years together, Ed likes to believe he’s winning his wife Rachelle over to his green lifestyle and sometimes odd contraptions. But it’s love and laughter that puts the fun in dysfunction and obviously keeps this seemingly mismatched Hollywood couple together. Hang out with Ed as he tinkers with his solar roof, makes toast with a bicycle, and rides in Jay Leno’s 1909 Baker electric car. Full of laughs and hints about being green!

CELEBRITY RIDES

Available Worldwide for DVD
Produced 2007/2008

Burt Reynolds
5 x 30 minutes

“ Burt Builds a Bandit”

Kevin Dillon
4 x 30 minutes
1 x 60 minutes
Actor Kevin Dillon is on the search for a new ride, one that will give him a nostalgic feel of old Hollywood. Automotive Legends is where he will find this car, a dealership known for its classic replica Spyders and Speedsters. With both these cars famously linked to legendary actor James Dean, Dillon has a hard choice ahead of him. Will he choose the Speedster or Dean's very last ride, the Spyder?

The 1955 Porsche Spyder is Kevin Dillon's choice, and Fibersteel will create the replica Spyder of his dreams. Salvaging parts from an old Volkswagen is the first step in constructing this classic vehicle. From there, fiberglass body panels and a historically accurate chassis will be the car's foundation, soon to house one powerful engine. Updated versions of the stylish red seats begin to take shape, keeping with the vintage appearance but using more modern materials.

The work continues at Fibersteel, where each aluminum piece must be hand crafted before being installed in the car. Brakes, headlights, and gauges are put into place, along with detailed pieces that add to the nostalgic feel of the car. The engine that will bring life to this car is prepped and begins a slow decent to its final resting place.
Final installations are under way at Fibersteel, with the engine, safety gear, and steering wheel getting locked into place. Red stripes and vintage emblems finalize the car's authentic feel and a special touch from Dean Jeffries makes this a true James Dean replica Spyder. The only thing left to do is give the car to Kevin and watch him drive away.
