9pm est. TLC. Overhaulin. 69 HEMI RR VERT.

[BrianShaughnessy]

RIDES with the Foose Riddler winner on now.

that is all.

[RD]

not seeing anything on the website as of now,  at work, so no tv for me.

[TruckDriver]

Eccept for the damn wheels, I like it. And I am saying that and I never was a big fan of convertables. But 15" Crager SS wheels would look way better to me.

[NHCharger]

Watched the last half. WHERE WAS Courtney???

She was never there

They could have used the 17 or 18 inch Magnums if they had to go big... but that was just too big to me.   Other than that,  Foose had to keep it near stock     I dig the hemi crate and the 5 speed of course.   Overall I liked it a lot... probably because it was near stock looking more than a typical Foose 2 tone job.


Interesting on the Rides show that they showed Charlie a little bit but didn't make a big deal of him coming over to the team to help win the Riddler.   He's probably the reason Foose got so much more attention from the public about that car is all the drama on AHR with Boyd and Charlie. 

[Silver R/T]

any website links?

[JimShine]

Who's General Lee was that the guy was sitting on while talking on the phone?

[Telvis]

Dang..I missed it. There's always reruns though!

[Sinister68]

Yeah, whats with those massive wheels      

[Drache]

Can anyone find a picture of it anywhere and post it? I'm having problems trying to find one! 

[TruckDriver]

You want pics?

Here's a video... (there is a advertisment that runs 1st)

AND, I dont think Courtney is on the show anymore as she is not listed anymore as a co-host.

[Johnny SixPack]

You know, I might catch hell for this, but I liked the wheels on the RR.

Overall, that was the best build to date IMO.

He stuck pretty close to the original look/feel of the car to boot.

Other than the wheels I liked it as well.  Foose did have to keep it pretty much stock.  I'm glad the guys wife said NO WAY to putting in a automatic.

[Recharger]

I agree:  nice car, dumb wheels.  Why do they always feel the need to go so damn big n blingy with the wheels...    oh well.  I do have more respect for them after this build though, like Johnny said, they stuck to the original look of the car.  If they do it the same way, they can go ahead and overhaul my car.  Anyone want to nominate me?  Anyone?  Anyone?  Bueller?


As for the GL, it was all over the show where they did the Challenger build too.  Wonder if it's the hosts car..he's a Mopar nut...   And I'm not sorry to see whatserface is gone...she was obnoxious.  Dead weight.

Recharger, you better have 20-30 grand in the bank to pay for the "Overhaulin". You have to pay for the taxes on the labor and on the supplies (paint, motor work, tranny work, etc...) for the "Overhaulin". I looked into it and it does look appealing until you read the fine print. Good old saying "nothing is free"!

Was it me or what?? They did'nt show the whole car, just the guy getting emotional when he see's his car.

They don't show the whole car on the preview because you're supposed to watch the show, see the commercials,  buy some junk and then everybody gets paid... it's the american way.   

Other than that,  yeah... nobody thinks about the taxes.     Some kid on a F-body site won some fantasy wedding deal for him and his girl valued at over $32K...  they owe as much as they were gonna spend on their wedding originally.   They "thought" they would only owe it at sales tax rates and not as income tax. 

[Moparstud440]

Looked like they did a nice good on the car other then the wheels, and same goes for the chally they did. As for Courtney no longer being on the show, guess no reason to watch it anymore unless they are doing a mopar.   I mean comeon she was cute as hell and wasn't afraid to get down n dirty to work on cars, how many girls do ya know do that?

[PlumBad70]

That was the best overhaulin yet, by far!!

[RT DAVE]

Yeah, whats with those massive wheels      

Those were FOOSE wheels, so I guess it's an attempt to advertise his product.

[Doc74]

I know this is probably just me and I'm sure that the car is healthy and strong again but i always cringe when i see those bondoslappers go at it, i could still see some serious waves in the metal and it won't get better over time.
Except for a rod i saw Troy Trepanier do I have yet to see a show where they actually do it as they should, I know, they have a time limit, but that's an excuse i can't tell my boss even so neither should they 
It's the bodyman in me, can't help it 
Now the design, I like big rims but didn't like these, they just didn't fit the car imho, but it could've been worse.Colors, well to each his own, again could,ve been worse, the guy liked it so fine with me.I guess even if he hates it, that hemi makes a lot of bad good.
The only thing that really annoys me about the show is how it's executed, they steal your damn car ???I'm sorry but if someone did that to me, they'd better run like hell. 

[PlumBad70]

Talk about bondoslappers, Have you ever seen boyd, holy carpola the whole car looks like its dipped in one big bucket of bondo...I thought the RR was pretty sweet, it was the best done yet in my opinion, I didn't really like the stripes on the trunk though...You gotta love the guys reaction.

[Doc74]

HA yeah definitely liked the reaction AND the guys who did it, I know the feeling of seeing a customer get tears in his eyes from happiness, it's priceless, even better than getting paid....or not...but fun anyway 
I'm not a fa of the stripes either but he4 seemed happy with it, that's all that counts, now...who's general was that?

[PlumBad70]

I don't know whos GL that was, but I've seen it on a couple of the overhaulin episodes..maybe its the hosts? He said he was a mopar man
