TLC's OVERHAULIN' Turns Old Heaps Into Cool Rides, Secretly Turning Real People's ...

Vehicular Makeover Series Premieres in 1stQ 04

SILVER SPRING, Md., July 9 -- OVERHAULIN' revs the makeover-
genre engine with an automotive twist. In this new series on TLC, auto
designing legend Chip Foose leads a team of crack mechanics in transforming an
unsuspecting owner's bland or junky auto into a unique custom car. To
surprise the owner and get the job done in a week, OVERHAULIN' must resort to
some pretty tricky tactics to lure him or her to turn in the keys. Family
insiders join the scheme. A seven-part series, OVERHAULIN' is scheduled for
its world premiere on TLC in 1st Quarter 2004.
(Logo: NewsCom: http://www.newscom.com/cgi-bin/prnh/20030530/TLCLOGO )
In each episode, Chip Foose and his team watch the videotape of the car's
owner as he or she talks about the car and his or her dreams for it.
OVERHAULIN' finds a way to separate the owner from the car for up to a week --
whether via fake impound, a vacation away, buying the car, using the car for a
'photo shoot,' and more.
The car becomes the star when the OVERHAULIN' begins, as a knowledgeable
parts expert notes what's needed and viewers get to watch what the various
crews are doing: engine, body and metal, interior and more. With family
insiders' help, the host learns ways to personalize each car -- for example,
with a two-way radio, fire-engine-like design elements, etc. -- anything to
fulfill the driver's fantasies.
After the car gets its makeover, it is revealed and returned to its owner
in a fun and surprising way, whether at a car show, parked under a tarp in the
garage, on the street where they're taking that sudden vacation, etc. All
they have left is to get behind the wheel and zoom off into the sunset!
OVERHAULIN' is produced by Twilight Works for TLC; Bud Brutsman is
executive producer. For TLC, Sandra Gregory is executive producer.

30 chrysler gets a new rack

My girlfriend has a 30 chrysler sitting in her garage and I keep telling her as soon as I finish my 36 ford 3 window i will get around to hot rodding her coupe. I would like you guys to act as a buyer to trick her into thinking i got rid of it as junk. Her chin would hit the floor if she were to get her car finished before mine. She just got a boob job and I keep telling her how great she will look driving around in my 3 window coupe when its done..Only it could be her 3 window Chrysler done and not mine...Bummer, but she deserves it big time. Tom

1971 Cougar RX-7

Well to start off my dad bought a car when he turned 16 and it was this exact 1971 Cougar. He sold it to start his own Air Conditioning Business about 25 years ago. He bought it back from the guy he sold it to about 19 years ago. Ever since then he has wanted to take it to his high school reunion. But he has been working 12-14 hour days with his business as it still grows. He has no time to work on his car that he has been wanting to drive for nearly 2 decades. Please help me get this car going for him. His high School reunion is coming up and I want him to finally be able to acheive his dream in driving his car to impress his old friends.
He always loved racing in his youth, he told me stories of beating those old 68 Camaros and t-birds. The Cougar was one mean machine, now it is just rotting away in our yard.
Some of the things he was able to do was get a free paint job for doing this guys Air Conditioning. The Paint is ugly and the guy didnt tape off anything. The engine did run when he parked it about 5 years ago so it might need a little love...PLEASE HELP!!

That show is pretty cool. Kinda like a Pimp My Ride wannabe to me though.

the work they do is awesome, but the fake story lines of it getting stolen are just horrible.

Re: TLC's OVERHAULIN' Turns Old Heaps Into Cool Rides, Secretly Turning Real People's ...

My husband has 2 vehicles that have been his dream to restore for a couple of years. He has always wanted a '69 Camaro and last year we have been able to locate and buy one. He also has around a '70 Lemans. They both need a lot of work and have been unable to financially afford it. We have 6 kids between us and one is in college. My husband has started his own business so money is very tight. Please help. We are avid watchers of Overhaulin' so he will be a very hard sell.

Overhaulin' is a cool show, except for the episode where the overhauled a Honda Civic.

I really liked this 1964 Corvette that they overhauled. The owner said she would go from party to party with six or seven girls in it back in college. It used to be her dad's car.
