that metal shaping looks like a crazy specialized skill.

Not really into reality shows, but this seemed interesting.

 

 

 

 

Matt Sager of Mill Bay is a hunter, but not of the big-game variety. His specialty is cars and trucks — rusty, deteriorated ones that are abandoned and in need of rescue.

 

Sager finds these long-forgotten gems throughout remote areas of Western Canada, and saves them from abandoned barns, deep ravines and thick forests. It’s not simply the pursuit of these classic cars and trucks that makes what he calls his “extreme hobby” so interesting; equally impressive is the way in which they are located and extracted, with help from his team. And that exercise is what has Sager and Co. at the centre of Lost Car Rescue, a six-part series that premières tonight at 9 p.m. on History.

 

The easygoing team leader is joined on the series by a colourful cast: His brother, Steve Sager, who is the team’s mechanic; longtime friend Jessica James, who pilots the plane from which Matt locates the vehicles; Dave Mischuk, an autobody specialist who assesses the damage and cost of repair; and Lee Brandt, the crane operator whose mechanical arm plucks the vehicles from the jaws of Mother Nature.

Looks like the pilot is a laid-off Harbour Air pilot.
