Extream Makeover - Home Edition

[Dave22443]

Anyone catch the show tonight?  Story about a Kansas Marine who lost his leg in Iraq.  Seems he was a Mopar nut as well.  In the opening scene, you get some glimpses of his garage.  I spotted what I think was a '68 or '69 Barracuda and what was definately a white '68 Charger. 

I salute your service Marine!

Dang it. I wanted to watch that

people like that deserve home improvement

It just started here. Yep, there is deffintley a white '68. Theres also one other car I saw too. That one was a 68-70 B-body for sure. I also saw a 68-69 Cuda front clip.

I have only ever seen that show 1 time. That was over a year ago.

[Dave22443]

Its one of the few shows that I put on my "Must See" list.

Yes Bronze, there was another car in the garage, but I couldn't make out what it was and thought it might have been another shot of the Barracuda?  I wasn't sure. 

Too bad we didn't get to see more of them.

[Silver R/T]

wonder how much tax he'll have to pay on that new house

[69bronzeT5]

Im actually watching it as I speak. Its funny, hes a Mopar guy but yet they're getting a Ford Nascar hood for his garage

one of my favourite shows , they do such awesome work 

[TruckDriver]

Last year, they did that house 15 miles from me in a small town. From what I have heard, the lady had to sell the house cause she couldn't afford to pay the taxes on the house. I've seen the house a few times, and it is so big, it looks way out of place in the town of about 900.

[Dave22443]

Damn that sucks.  At least in this show they paid off his mortgage.  That should make paying the taxes a lot easier.

[hutch]

I think what they are doing is a good thing but they do distory their lives by leaving them with this big ass tax issue after the crew leaves.  How on earth is that poor guy going to pay property tax and the "game show" tax on winnings he is going to get hit with.  They often setup a trust to pay for the mortgage but you still have tax issues every year on your property and the tax it he is going to take when he sells the thing.

[moparstuart]

 he is here in kansas city and in our local mopar club HPAC

[Charger_Fan]

I wasn't aware there was a 'game show tax' on these homes, that would be a bummer. I guess he could always sell the place & maybe come out ahead in the end, but that would be a bummer too.

[RD]

he came out to my friends house a couple of months ago to pick up a 67 barracuda shell, my friend thought it was the guy on the show, but didnt want to ask out of being courteous.

stuart, get him in on the kansas cruise!!!

[Silver R/T]

would be surprising to see his whore-of-a-wife show up and be like "hey lets share the house"

My mom said the exact same thing!

[Dave22443]

I wonder how long it took him to rip down all that Ford crap out of the garage 

[hemi68charger]

I saw that too...... Guess they weren't his cars?? .............. never saw them again after the initial view....................  Good episode.......

ford is such a big sponser of the show they would let him show off his projects
  they are all a body barracuda's and some old street rod

[Dave22443]

Does he still have the white '68 Charger?  We need pics!   

[69bronzeT5]

They mentioned on the show about how much space they had to rent to store his cars and parts during the time they were building the house. I assume he still has the cars.

Would have been nice to see that '68 perched up on top of the new car lift........ Sweet !!!!
