Original Productions produced "DriveShaft" for Fox Television, which aired on the FX Network in June 2003. The premise: two contestants, each in desperate need of a new car, risk their own vehicles when they join forces with expert mechanics to transform their cars into a variety of racing machines – chariots, snowmobiles, boats – culminating in a spectacular race.

Each of the contestants was given a team of five fabricator/mechanics that would work for five days, transforming their car into some other sort of vehicle. One team would become “The Blue Team” and would work on the “Blue Set”, and the other one would become the “The Red Team”, and would work on the “Red Set”.

On the sixth day the teams would take their cars out to a racecourse and race head to head. The fabricators/mechanics on the winning team received a cash prize and the vehicle owner would win a new car. The losers got nothing. Each week a different build would take place as like on Monster Garage.

As Production Designer for “DriveShaft”, Dan Statler designed the sets where the two teams were going to compete and with the help of his crew, he built these sets and created original furniture.
