lol yea they put like a chandalear (spelling ?) in it....dunno bout that one. I really wanna know if they mess with the engine or not. Cause with some of those cars, if they dont do so much as tune it then that car they just spent $$$$$$ one wont last long at all.

 

I can't wait to see another custom job. I'm trying to figure out how to get them to my yard, they'll have three rigs to choose from and I'll be shocked and surprised if that is what it takes.

 

Dissapointing thing is....I think they mostly stay around there area. I dont know where there located but with my luck, its probably 2000 miles away lol. Man how they could make a Ford shine if they just moved up in the "car class" from chevvy to Ford.

 

Your right, MTV viewers don't care about big blocks, axles, gearing, and other stuff. They just like the accessories and paint. West Coast Customs doesn't even fully re-do the car for the show. They leave the engine if it's running, they don't do any kind of upgrades either. They just put new wheels/tires on it, paint/bodywork/interior, slap in a sick stereo/video system and thats it. Overhaulin' re-does the entire car, even with baer brakes.

I do still like to watch it because it's pretty funny to look at some of these beaters. I don't love the show but it's pretty cool I guess, its more for the non-car-educated young guys/girls.


Rides aint a bad show either, I like to watch that. American hot rod can take a hike for all I care.

 

Overhauling is GREAT. The fact that they can do that in 7 days is unbelievable. Chip and Troy are my 2 favorite builders and I'd love to be able to work with either one of them.
I also enjoy Rides because it showcases a lot of other great builders.

 

I agree overhaulin is the best vehicle modification show on now. Hopefully the fact that all the episodes are done in a week will allow more new episodes than usual, unless the editing process takes more time than I would think.

I agree with Ferguson777 and MustangGt221 on the topic of American Hot rodder, as well. If I had the money and were in the market I would definitely have a second thought as to whether they would get my business, based on the shows depiction of the people. I will watch the show and what they do seems to be high quality work but I also get the impression, if someone where to pay more attention to the drama as opposed to what is being done, they might get the impression anybody with an I.Q. of three could build a car if the tools and parts where easily available, then again maybe its all set up and edited to appear that way.

Pimp my ride is an interesting show, I think most of what they do, no matter how bizzare, is done tastefully~for what it is/ what they are trying to accomplish. They have to redo the drivetrain, if you ever notice, some of those vehicles like the ranger, barely move under their own power but when done seem to start and run pretty good, maybe they just don't show that aspect of the build due to the target audience, like previously menioned, who knows?


In any case the new shows definitely beat the heck out of having to watch reruns of horsepowertv and truckstv, don't get me wrong, I like the shows but they have only shown 5 or 6 new episodes this year and then went back to the reruns, how many times do we have to see them finish off project crazy horse and build up that chevelle? I am still waiting on them to finish copperhead and do that grudge match, truckstv vs. horsepowertv, copperhead 572 vs. the chevelle 572, wonder who is gonna win? Did anyone happen to catch that when the hostess made the comment about the grudge match or am I imagining things? Later

 

I duno about you but I am not sick of crazy horse yet

 

lol ya I dunno how much its gonna take for me to get tired of TrucksTV and HorsepowerTV. Last Sunday they had a Trucks marthon and I watched all of them even though Ive seen em all before. I cant wait either for him to finish Copperhead. And I missed the Crazyhorse test . Did any one catch that episode and if so how did it do?

 

It was awesome, performed great and it's really hard to explain, gotta see it

 

He did pound the heck out of Crazy Horse. All I've seen of Copperhead is the frame/engine sitting in the background... is Stacey ever going to work on it?!

 

I had to take that out dzervit, you'll spoil it for people who havn't seen it, can't have that, makes it much more exciting to watch if you don't know what's going to happen, especially with something as important as crazy horse

 

What no wait what did I miss!!! lol. Hopefully they will have a re-run this weeekend. On the marathon on sunday I read the info on all of them (satelite) and it one of them was supposed to be the crazyhorse test, well all of the other infos matched up with the shows except that one

 

Your right - my bad! I figured there was so much other good stuff that one tidbit would only wet their appetite some more!!

 

I took it out because it's probably the best part and I don't wanna ruin it for people who havn't seen it, if he wants to put it back he can if he wants

 

Those are the ones that need the most work to look good.
