Definitely!

I've been watching it for quite a while now - they do some really awesome work!

Has anyone else seen the car they go from 4 door hard top to 2 door saloon? Amazing how much work they got done in just 7days!

I also love the fact that they stick in some really nice engines and transmissions, as well as uprating the brakes, chassis and suspension all at the same time.

I laugh at PMR when they stick all these shiney bits on a car that is still a nail at the end of the day - the Overhaulin' team seem to only work on cars that will look nice when finished!

Cheers,

Andy

Great programme, even though it is called "Overhaulin"

Chip Foose would appear to be a bit of a master - youngest inductee into the Hot Rod Hall of Fame I believe........

True, but they kept saying "you been overhauled" and that sorta shat so i got a bit confused, it was late

And yea, Chip is what you say, think they said it 3 times in the episode i saw

I love american tv... only 5 days to finnish the alumatub on American Hotrod..... can they do it.. cause they can....

But, if you look at the build of the 'vette, you can see the Allumatub sitting in the background, looking lost and unloved, no one rushing around getting it ready for its axles or anything.

And on Overhauling ... one guy had a beared at the end of it

But even if they lie more than Scrapheap Challenge "make yourself avalible for 5 days of filming" (can anyone confirm that?) both programmes are brillient, Roy on American Hotrod.... The real master at Boyds... he is an artist in sheet steel.

Yea and when he drove the Alumtub that was the first time he went back to the desert since he crashed.

He smashed his jaw up proper good the first time.

He is one of the unsung heros at Boyds i reckon, and Roy is a legend. Anyone see the episode when Roy got his apprentice, Lee. APMSL

Whats this Roy? Whats that do Roy? Why you doing that Roy? Lemme try Roy? What that Roy? APMSL.
