An absolute waste of money

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

Foose's show exhibits every dumb trick that makes these shows so irritating--faked up scenarios involving "theft", "accidentally towed" vehicles, hyper presenters who are constantly jazzed over every development, major "issues" with the modifications that cause lots of fake consternation and make every job a battle with the clock. But such is the nature of all these reality shows that seek to create conflict and make the various characters zany and eccentric, which is what passes for compelling TV these days. Add in a zingy rock beat over every scene and bump and you have the makings of a truly irritating program. Foose does good work, but all the contrivances detract from, rather than add to the finished product.

THE '56 CHEVY NOTED ABOVE WAS NOT COMPLETED IN A MANNER THAT THE OWNER DIDN'T WANT. IT WAS NEGOTIATED - NOT IMPOSED! THE OWNER DID IN FACT SELL THE CAR - LONG AFTER IT WAS RETURNED TO HIM AND WITH THE BLESSING OF FOOSE. Jesus H. KERIST FOLKS - FOOSE DOES NOT DESTROY VEHICLES - YES HE MAKES CHANGES THAT MIGHT NOT BE EXACTLY AS THE OWNER WOULD HAVE DONE. WHY SO??? BECAUSE THE OWNER DID NOT HAVE THE CAPABILITY NOR RESOURCES. ALL THESE HORROR STORIES AND CREATED OUT OF JEALOUSY! JEALOUS PEOPLE CAN ALWAYS FINE ISSUE WITH ANY GIVEN PROJECT! THE KIDS TODAY TELL THESE PEOPLE TO "STFU"! IT IS APPLICABLE IN SPADES!THE REVIEW ABOVE STATING THE TOP WAS REMOVED AGAINST THE OWNERS WISHES IS FALSE! AGAIN ---- MAJOR ALTERATIONS ARE DONE WITH THE OWNERS PERMISSION! FOOSE IS NO FOOL .... QUIT PAINTING THE PICTURE DEPICTING HIM AS ONE! YOUR JEALOUSY IS ALL TO EASY TO DETECT!THE DOCUMENTATION SUBMITTED WHEN VEHICLE WAS PUT UP FOR AUCTION:This one-of-a-kind 1956 Bel Air was featured on Season One, Episode 106 of the popular TV show Overhaulin' with Chip Foose. Arguably one of the most significant projects ever completed on the show, this classic Chevy roadster was designed and overhauled by Chip Foose in collaboration with 33 top builders at famed automotive academy Wyotech.These pros turned this original 4-door sedan into a 2- door speedster. The team leaders of this build are a "who's who" list including Troy Trepanier of Rad Rides by Troy, Levi Green who is an ace fabricator, and Bryan Fuller of Fuller Hot Rods. In the published book, "The Cars of Overhaulin'" this car appears on Page 7 and it is the first car cited by Chip himself as his favorite and it is later referred to in the book as the "A-Team's finest hour." The over-the-top collaboration of the famed builders and the aggressive transformation of the car to a 2-door speedster are what make the final result so special. This car is an absolute show-stopper and it marks a very rare opportunity to own a vehicle that will never be duplicated.

Hello i live in Australia, and when i'm not busy working my fiancé and i watch your show, my fiancé in 50% disabled, and yet continues to run his lawn mowing business, therefore is rarely home and spends so little time with our family. i have 2 daughters and 2 sons, the eldest daughter no longer lives at home and the youngest daughter is 15 and still attends school, my two little Son are 7 and still attend year 1, at the same time leaves me clueless as to get something for my fiancé for Christmas, so the other night my daughter Stephanie sat down one night while my fiancé Jason was out on a job, and my daughter told me how much he cherishes his 95 Toyota land cruiser Ute, but at home we call it "boof". So we were just wondering if it is possible if we could get it overhauled. we were wondering if you could make the following changes; -6 inch lift -twin turbo big block -deisel -car fridge -black paint -carpet -electronic windows and locks -air brush a picture of a dog 'Boof' on the bonnet -a set of 4wd polished alloy wheels with chunky tires

This is a good show but every time they overhaul someones car I cant help but notice its some guy that can more than afford it. True that some of the shows have had people on that looked like the average guy who loves his beaten down classic or not so classic and he is content with it. The reaction to the new car is just that much better. The one with the brothers and the low rider comes to mind. When they did the mock raid on the shop and had firecrackers going off and agents running in with guns drawn, that was good stuff. I also noticed that you have to live in the L.A. area to get on the show. Not just Southern Cal. or the L.A. basin but within a 20mile radius of the shop. The overhauled cars that are on the show are all top notch, show quality and beyond belief. This is due to Chip Foose who is talented in all aspects of rebuilding the cars. If he could hold the camera and host he would be the only guy on the show. Anyway, its a good show and if they opened it up to poor guys that lived further away it would be great.
