Overhaulin
 

The Learning Channel will be showing an episode of my buddy's conversion of his '57 corvette on Sept. 19. Check your listings for the time. Yes, the OVERHAILIN gang stole his corvette (with the help of his wife) and what a surprize he had when he learned the truth.

:thumbs:

I bet most guys, with the exception of rough NOM cars, wouldn't want their car "overhauled" (unless they threw in the Overhaulin chick with the final product). :smiliedrool:

I can see it now.

Reason for divorce : "overhauled"

Well your honor my wife (the B@%&#) stole my car, jerked me around for a week, and this is what they did to my 1957 corvette. It's just unforgivable.:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

:toetap: :toetap: :toetap:

Some people just can't keep a secret. You weren't supposed to reveal ANYTHING about the car until after it aired!:nono: :mad: :beatdeadhorse:


Now they'll have to come and reposses it and won't your friend be POed!

TLC has had the general details about the episode listed on their site for a while:

TLC — Overhaulin'
Roadies Stole My 'Vette!

The 1957 Corvette has been in Carl's family for 46 years. But Carl and his wife are too busy with their family and business. Meanwhile, the Corvette sits in the garage, waiting for the time and money that will one day restore it to its original "coo

I'll be tunning in. :thumbs: :lurk:

I would sue the hello out of them if they touched my car...

i would make them put it back the way they found it to my satisfaction and not some dum lawyer....

...if it's the one in your AVATAR...???

yup just like it sets....:D

now be nice...im just getting started on it...the frame is done/engine/trans...etc.

First thing I would do is call Hagerty for a claim. Wouldn't that be something if they sent me a check for 40K, and then I got my car back "Overhauled":D

To be honest I like Chips designs, but that's just my opinion.;)

Same here.

There are enough "as delivered" factory originals around to bore me to tears.

Now that the cat is out of the bag, except for the steering wheel and matching engine trim (you'll see), the '57 is very nice and the brakes are to die for.

Why doesn't Chip Foose get off his ass and go design a whole new car from the ground up to save GM or Ford?

The industry needs some new blood. It surely is rotting from the inside out as it is. We need some fresh stuff and Foose is just the guy to bring it.

How about it Chip?

They can do mine.

After what I saw on mine last night with the bodywork, i want him to do mine:eek: What I thought were stress cracks, was actually bondo cracks, from being 1/4" thick. :ack: :eek:

That episode is on tonight - the Tivo is set.
I watched a '63 get overhauled and it.....well.....sadly was more pimped than anything else, but it was better, I guess, than how it started out - a wreck.
Looking foward to seeing the look on his face when he hears it was stolen.

Thanks for the headsup - sure miss Courtney....

Courtney can be seen on Spike TV's PowerBlock on Saturday afternoons - she replaced Danica Patrick as hostess.:flag:

He already did that for Chrysler-the Prowler came directly from his drawings when he was a design school student.

It's a '64. They glassed in the vents behind the windows ala '63. I snapped these the other day when visiting Steve (and my '64 in for paint).

BTW, the brakes on the '57 are far better than on the '64 (due to the power booster) and Steve says that the seat belt feels like it will cut you in half!
