Gear Dogs (2017 ) Car builder Nate Boyer wants to expand his thriving restoration/modification business, but is he barking up the wrong tree by opening `The Doghouse'? The new venture, as detailed in the reality series `Gear Dogs', brings together auto mechanics and hobbyists who are willing to test their skills customizing rides like a '67 Plymouth Belvedere, 1980 Jeep Honcho, and a 1956 Chevy Nomad. The candidates, aka `Dogs', use Nate's space, equipment and know-how in exchange for him receiving a cut of the profits after the finished cars are sold. Beyond Nate taking a chance with unfamiliar personnel, can he balance two shops and turn the Doghouse into a success?
