Watched both these programs last night like I usually do and noticed that American Hotrod was filmed back in 2004, and then I saw Mike the machinist from American Hotrod - the one with the plated face working for a different machinists in Overhaulin'!!!

Anyone any ideas if Overhaulin' is more recent than American Hotrod, my guess is that it is and Boyd Coddington pissed Mike off & he jumped ship! LOL!

Just wondered that was all!!!

 

boyd puts a lot of people through the wringer and which one os mike? the painter or the guy witht he smashed up face?

the painter left to go and work for soemoen else
the guy witht eh smashed face oly stayed with boyd because he was in a car being driven by boyd when boyd lost it and smashed his face in when teh car crashed in the desert (not boyd perosnally, he was driving, the car crashed, the crash left the fella with a bent face) so boyd looked after him
but i think that boyds either got a bit pised with him or he got a bit pissed with dwyane and they parted ways

 

The painter wanted to work for foose on 1 job but boyd wouldn't let him go so he left, metal face had some foose designs, wheels i think on his comp and was going to make them then boyd found out and he was fucked off.

some of the later series of american hotrod shows a drinks company car whitch has hand painted wood effect with a bright green paint job

 

You just need to look at Dwaynes arms to see how old each show is - on the early ones he has hardly any tatoos, and in the newest ones his arm is covered down to the wrist.

 

Both Mike and charlie (the painter) now work for Foose.

 

• Chad "Bluebear" Geary was fired for insubordination.

• Charley Hutton left the show and now works for Boyd's competitor Chip Foose.

• Al Simon (chassis builder) quit after the Rat Rod build-off and has now returned.

• Thomas Loddby (fabricator) left to start a shipping business and has since returned.

• Mike Curtis (machinist) was fired for designing wheels for competitor, ex-employee and nemesis Chip Foose.

• Roy Schmidt, veteran metal worker, died ending his long battle with lung cancer. He was 64.

• Scott Parker (fabricator) set out to work for himself and ended up working for Chip Foose.

• Andrew "Beetle Bailey" Petterson left with Hutton to work for Chip Foose.

• Willie Johnstone (custom painter) has since returned to New Zealand and opened his own custom paint shop in Tauranga.

Wasn't Charlie rumoured to have been knocking off Boyd's wife?

 

he was a wind up merchant and got a lot of people fired because he was being a cunt to them
remember the guy who offered him out in front of boyd?

he's done some proper mad dash paint and bodywork sorting from what i've seen on him, boyd lost a good man there

is he the guy with the big tashe?

he's the guy with the little point of beard under his lip right?

metal face man, boyd owed him big time and he should have really asked, because no matter what, thats taking the piss really

old cranky fucker who's got that mad black fella working with him

quiet guy, always did as he was told and never caused a fuss

can't recall what he lookslike, or his name

nope, can't remember him either

 

Boyd and Duane are just the sort of people you would never want to work for.

 

Duane is the biggest grass in history He's always reporting back to Boyd about the smallest of issues...I bet Duane used to take the register at school when the teacher was late

 

i can understand that boyd used to do stuff and is famous for it, but what does dwayne the pain do other than shout at people and tell them to work harder?

i also HATE the way that boyd puts pressure on his staff to work weekends and sundays in particular when things have gone to shit

i'd rather work laterer for a ew days and have a few days off afterwards to make it easy, and, if things are going to shit and the time is running out, why don't they have a skeleton night crew come in and do the job?

if you can get people like chip foose who can build a car from stratch basicly in 6 days and nights why does boyd take soo much longer to reuild a car with 50 more people and an unlimited budjet to think about?

 

totally agree with you!!

has any1 knocked him out yet?? i no i couldnt help myself

 

a bit off the subject,but who pays for all the work carried out on those cars
in Overhaulin'imean like some of those cars must cost thousands when finish

 

i think Overhaulin is paid for by the tv station

and hot rod are paid for by the people who own the cars
