@Goose Tater and yet i can name several shows with the same shortcomings either going on too long or still on TV. At least Chip is a genuine, likable person than the reality shows you probably watch
@Goose Tater I would have liked to have got to see more people, that were just getting by in life, get their cherished ride whatever, overhauled at no cost to the owner. That would have brought tears of joy to me for that person.
That was the networks choice, Chip and us builders didn’t want to do it and morale was low on those builds for that exact reason. However, Tony Todd whose LeMans convertible that we built, was one of the most gracious recipients. If you watch the reveal of that build, you can feel his enthusiasm and gratitude.
@@glenhardy4770 Tony Todd is an actor and Charlie Sheen’s best friend. We built his car during the 4th season back in 2006, episode 2 titled “Le Mama’s Boy.”
I completely hate what popular opinion does to reality TV shows. They start out on pure talent and the goings on in the shop and then they have to bring in the poorly conceived prank shit and drama.
My father was a first generation gear head before 1/4 mile runs were a thing. Back then he knew terms like "chopped", "channeled", and "leaded in", his '41 continental was a beauty. He was a member of a car club "The Carlsbad Oiler's" before Korea interrupted his young adult life. He didn't care much for what he called "modern hot rods", which for him was anything without a flathead or flames, but he understood my passions for them. He and I agreed on one thing regarding Overhaulin', it was a tolerable reality T.V. show, but the knowledge and abilities of the crew was inspiring. Rest in peace R.L. Anderson, sorry your last year had to be 2020 but your legacy lives on.
I don't think Chip foose does a terrible job of car designing. I think he's pretty talented of taking any car and making his own. I love all kinds of hot rod cars no matter what they look like if it's custom or if it's modern. I love the TV show overhaul I think the crew works well together even though there's going to be times where there's going to be ups and downs like anything in life. I love the car shows from the early 2000s that's when things started picking up. It's a bummer that the TV show overhaul ended. Maybe they will bring back the show overhaul. I love how Chip foose Holly sits down and start sketching what the car will look like in his mind and he will put it on a piece of paper and make it come to life. It doesn't matter if a small custom car shop or a bigger shop in the United States of America everyone's shop is unique to their own. America was built on the foundation of freedom of speech but freedom in general. This is what it makes America so great is we can come up with any kind of design if that's car design or coming up with Waze to come up with different unique foods like watching The History channel and how they make old fashioned candies that made America today. America is the pioneer of a lot of inventive creations. I love the old classic cars from the 40s 50s 60s 70s and 80s...✍️🇺🇲✝️😎
Met him at Autorama in Detroit... He was on his way to the back with haste... I stopped him and he was the NICEST GUY ever.. Even tho he had something on his mind during great 8 judging.
When are networks going to realize viewers DO NOT WANT CONTRIVED DRAMA! We can spot it easily, everytime! Are we supposed to believe no one notices cameras everywhere? If It has "contrived reality" I WILL NOT WATCH IT!
It's si boring with all the drama. Also the guy and women talking is annoying. Go away! Just wanna watch the process and if its not much drama TV dont realize thats better:)
I feel the same as you about the drama. But I think we are the minority. Just look at Street Outlaws. Dumb. People love that junk. Dudes running their mouth’s. Chicks with their boobs hanging out. Nothing to do with the actual cars. Yet, those shows are popular. Again....dumb.
I ran into Chip in a pizza place in a southern Ca. pizza place where he was sitting at a table waiting for his pizza--I immediately recognized him and went over to him and shook his hand and told him how much I loved his show--He was very polite and thanked me--I really miss this show because no matter what the story was the cars always came out beautiful at the end.Bring it back Chip...
The celebrity build done with Johnny Depp's Mercury was a major nightmare for one artist in particular. The Late Mike Lavallee, founder and owner of Killer Paint, wouldn't be paid for his time and labor, lost work while film crews tied up his shop or costs he incurred flying to SoCal from Washington State and back, for several years and this wasn't an isolated incident for the "Reality TV" industry.
American hot rod pissed me off. Too much arguing between the shop manager and the employees. Bitchin’ Rides is far better and everyone is cool to each other. Graveyard Carz is great too because it’s all Mopar.
@@dennisd4452 that’s why I like the other shows. The only stressful builds they do are for SEMA or other shows. But on AHR the shop manager (Kevin?) was just awful. Plain old mean and angry. I’m surprised they stayed in business for as long as they did. I don’t know why they gave themselves ridiculous deadlines. Kindig It designs takes their time and from what I see they’re all friends and excellent craftsmen. Garage Squad is another excellent show. The crew is positive, even when faced with a ton of work, and even when there’s stress it’s handled well by Joe and Bruno.
I like GYC's because it is all Mopar (Mopar or no car) but man, Mark sure can get on my nerves because of his personality. He definitely knows his crap but it's almost like he's Stuart from MADtv. lol
I had a 64 galaxie xl that my wife and daughter said that they tried getting it on overhauliin but never got a response so eventually I was told what they had tried. Being in Tx was probably one of the big holdups. I finally gave it to my son.
Loved watching how choked up some people would get when they saw their car finished, and you could tell that wasn't fake. Chip and his team do amazing work, it's really a shame that states have to always grab their undeserved share.
Some states like California and Virginia require you to pay taxes each year based on the value of your car, and since the show was based on California i believe this is what they were stating
I think parts of this video are BS... I live less than 10 minutes from Chip's shop and am having a '79 Jeep Cherokee restored right now at another shop. There are no extra taxes paid on a vehicle because the value goes up, unless you sell it and then only if you claim the sale on your income taxes. If you own your vehicle outright, you just pay for insurance and registration. The amount you pay for registration in California is based on the year of the vehicle, not the present value, if that was the case, vehicles would have to be appraised every year.
YES! Liked Chip, liked the result, hated the frigging pranks that must have really stressed some 'marks'. Be surprised if only one guy got punched. Conceal and carry could have ended in one dead prankster.
imagine if you someone just showed up, out of the kindness of their heart and wanting to fix your ride. You would probably think they're up to something or already stole your ride. i think the prank is better because you see the person real emotions and the relatives and friends are also happy for that person.
I used to be a really big fan of the show, but I would skip right past all of the "prank" nonsense on the DVR, only coming back to the show when the car showed up at the garage. The best part was seeing Chip designing the final car. The man is an incredibly talented artist.
@@0fficialdregs I imagine if someone like Chip Foose showed up and wanted permission to fix my car, I would be so happy... Pranking is so outdated and dumb..
I was well and truly"GUTTED!!!!!!!!!!" when they stopped showing this, i like the designs and the final revealing of the finished job, and that guy is a swift artist in his own right, i also like his quick car design sketches, the government wants to destroy everything that is good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It sounds like they cut ALL THE CORNERS they could... still some good work there - though to be on the hook for all the taxes, is a bit rough. Also, some things with sentimental value - well, sometimes the design was many not to everyone's taste.
One car in season one was done in Laramie Wyoming. There was an Overhaulin and bum rush episode in season four that was out of state as well. All of the SEMA show episodes from season 2, 3, 4 and 5 were nevada-based cars. Chip still operates Foose design with year-round builds for customers while OH was going on, so naturally most of the show was still based in SoCal.
@@TheLindyHooper Yes, Chip Foose has a very nice shop in Huntington Beach, CA.. I have been there to visit once... He had some amazing builds going on... The nicest man you would ever meet... Remember the early episodes that he did with his Dad?? You have to believe that his parents instilled in him all that he is today, and that is why he is like he is too..
Those celebrity episodes didn't do the show any favors. They would redo a vehicle owned by a multi millionaire that could have easily afforded to do anything they wanted to have done at anytime and simply wrote a check for it no matter what it cost. I could care less about seeing amber heard get 100k worth of free work when she already gets paid 30+ million a year to do a few damn movies. Her annual shoe bill alone was worth more than the damn car. Piss poor studio management!
And it's for that reason right there the Chip Foose lost me as a fan although he's a great car designer he was still involved he lost a lot of fans over that and I'm one of them
In the eighties, buying hot rod/street machine magazines I thought Boyd was a master designer and craftsman. It seems like Foose was responsible for a lot of the designs. Foose seems like a nice guy to boot, although Boyd wasn't a well man during his shows run. I still like cars with the 'Boyd' look though.
Boyd was all about an ROI. His design ideas were what got him to where he was but, when he controlled the budget, any savings made were his. Chip was all about creating and expressing his ideas. He was more about special touches to make things right....make things better....being special was in the details. I'd love to give him my 79 440 D100 Shorty to make right, and special.
@@ArtVandelayOfficial Complete and utter rubbish. Dishonest rubbish too as anyone who looks at the FACTS!! can see. Boyd should hav been in prison after the "wheel fraud" and set Foose up to take the fall. If Coddington had not died he would have been in prison. And the great designs were all Foose.
Same thing basically happened when people would get a surprise rebuild of their house most of them couldn't afford the house after it was completely re-done taxes Etc thanks for posting
I'm in the UK, it's a joke that in the USA you have to pay taxes on prizes. Y'all get excited over your freedom to carry guns but yet you get screwed on taxes and loads of other state control.
i cut the cord in 2015 after i built my pc. after that, i stopped watching TV altogether and only watch stuff online. Maybe if they had the show on amazon prime or netflix, some of us might still want it
I did not like the idea of doing it for celebrities. They can afford to do their own. It’s more satisfying to see the average person receive the gift and surprise
I agree the skill on Overhaulin' was really good but I did not enjoy the drama part. Video was an eye opener to the type of programming created. Chip love your designs.
I'm big in the automotive field and been in cars for years. I drove 2,500 miles to southern California to buy a 69 Camaro in 2007 stopped in at Boyd's in the morning. I was in the showroom had my nice clothes on not stained work clothes and Boyd a little later was looking at me leaning against one of his show room cars but he didn't say anything. I guess he felt I wasn't a serious buyer and had no money. Or maybe he just had things to do but no one helped me while I was looking around. I bought a fully restored turn key 69 Camaro the next day in southern California. Even got to keep the antique license plate on the car and drive it when I was there for an added bonus! No hard feelings to Boyd or staff. You just never know who is a serious buyer or not so be friendly to all like Chip Foose seems to be. Boyd's show was good but much drama and not how I run business. All that drama and anger among employees usually get someone hurt and is not productive. Overhauling better show but shows like this better be careful doing pranks someone got one in the bread box and laid out - possibly hurt - possible law suit!!! Hollywood is always pushing the boundaries to get the ratings and someone else's expense and at times gets someone hurt. Hollywood doesn't use common sense at times.
The way the narration is delivered makes it sound like Foose entered into this contract with full knowledge of what Discovery had in mind , re drama and errata. Chip's original relationship with Discovery was for a show called Rides- they came to Foose's shop and shot what they were doing, with the personnel at at hand. No drama, no BS. Chip was already signed up, IMHO, before he knew about the crap they were fixing to drop on him and his workers, many were his friends and friends of his father's - Sam Foose. This narration doesn't really go far enough into the mechanics of the garbage Boyd Coddington brought to the table for Chip and his father , who were both family firends for years before any of this Discovery crap went down. the so called "Boyd Style", that Coddington tried to sue Chip for using was Sam's originally- clean, lots of flow and great color. Chip learned it at an early age- in the early 90s he built a car called the Alien form a 1940 Ford Panel Sedan; it won everything at Chip's first AMBR as a contestant- except the Most beautiful Roadster Trophy, because it was not a roadster. He shows every element of the Boyd look in that car, built before he ever worked for Coddington. I don't know why I care- Chip doesn't need anyone to defend him- his shop is booked to the walls, he has more requests for paid appearances than he can do, and mostly he has a family he cares deeply about. Speaking about Chip's family- did you get permission to use his logo and pictures? Chip's wife is a very good lawyer I hear- it might be cheaper to pay her than litigate with her.
I think the show was fun to watch. although Arianny Celeste was only on the show as eye-candy, which wasn't all bad, but she was as useful as a sponge on the Titanic. C.J. was more beneficial, and just as attractive.
I got so sad when I found out the show ended, I enjoyed watching the transformation the A Team did! Always hoping that I had the opportunity for my van to be overhauled by the A team, Chip Foos. I had a 1989 GMC Vandura 350 5.7 engine customized van design by "Happy Times". I love the name of the van makes me happy and so proud to have had it, and experienced it. It had a slow oil leak for a long time and finally blew up a head gasket even though I kept fillingitupwith oil. I couldn't afford to fix it so, I sold it in 2021. I had my van for 13 years and enjoyed it every minute of it even though it was a gas eater. But, that motor, WOW 👏😍. Thank you Chip Foos and the A Team for the wonderful show. I wish you all come back with the show again. My wish. Wishing you all well.
I heard that California is going to start taxing people who receive Christmas gifts and birthday presents. Just like the upgrades on these cars, It's considered capital gains. Regardless that some of these classic cars actually lost value due to modifications, the car owner was given free parts and labor and therefore the government is entitled to their fair share of the freely gifted items. In that case, the only capital gain is to the state. So remember, when grandma gives you pajamas for Christmas, pay California their entitled share.
LOL. They have to pay for the illegals to have car insurance and medicals bills paid somehow. Screw the people who grew up there and paid taxes all their lives. State income tax will be 20% soon. That's why I live in Florida. Also, if you are a libtard in Cali...stay there, don't move to Texas or Florida, we don't need your problems or b.s.
Every car done on this show meant the owners had to pay additional taxes as income due to the value of cars being increased. A lot of people actually ended up selling the car just to pay the tax, which is eff'd up since once paid for cars were now being lost.
@@_-0_x_-_p_0-_ No, you don’t have to pay taxes on a car you already own but you do have to pay taxes on the products used for the build, which the owners already agreed to before the build.
I have always wanted to meet Chip Goose. There are a few celebrities that I would like to meet, a d Chip is right up near the top. I believe that he is a genuine great person.
I used to watch the show too, then they had a celebrity, then It had another celebrity little later, that turned me off from the show and it didn't watch it for years, I won't watch reruns because of it also. what a shame they had to ruin it by putting wealthy people on who can afford to fix their own stuff, shame!
Greedy i want to keep as much of it for me american way is the cause. No one is happy with just making a small profit. Think of companies buying or taking over other companies just to dismantle it even if said company was making a profit but not enough in someones opinion etc. Everyone want to be instant rich off someone else's back is the american way. There is no more pride in making it anymore. I see so often young people finding a good paying job and they go out and buy a big house with new truck out front jacked up and modified with a barely used camper parked on the side with a side by side , boat, snowmobile bimbo wife , dog, cat etc. all before hitting 25 and as soon as they lose the job or the economy drops out like the oilfields did a few years ago they have to sell or give back everything just to eat as well as the bimbo starts cheating or leaving said young person in the dust. I call them insta-baby drive threw nation caution thrown to the wind generation. Now lots of people live beyond their means and the first straw that lands on them breaks them from their greed of too fast too soon living. It also reflects in their eating habits. Super size it now for only a dollar more attitude. 25 year old's now look like 45-50 year old's. look at ordinary people photo's in the 50-60 and compare it to what you see now walking the streets. Old values have been lost and now we have what we have from the little guy to the big guys at the top trying to maintain and hording for oneself and need to own everything now. Sorry for the rant but i seen too much with my years of living on planet earth.
I never considered that the Ship of Theseus law would come into play here. I've seen resto-mods cross the auction block recently, bringing in some surprising numbers.
Foose is a professional fabricator and artist. Rawlings is a very intelligent businessman who takes calculated risks, and a show personality. Completely different ends of the earth. Foose and Kindig are the best at what they do. Rawlings is an outstanding promoter and knows how to run a business.
Coddington fired a lot of his employees and was upset they were then working for Chip Foose; in a video where Chip Foose showcased a vehicle from Coddington's garage, Foose showed him way too much respect. On clips from his show, American Hot Rod, Coddington's shop manager was a total asshole and Coddington showed no respect towards him employees what so ever and was pissed when his employees went to work for Chip Foose. Essentially, those who worked for Coddington should've been honored he picked them to work for him and was upset seeing how Chip Foose was stealing his employees despite they were fired by Coddington.
Enjoyed the series of Overhaulin' Was that a real TKO punch?? Or set up for the camera. Cos it looked real, he connected !! The viewers/ public must understand that it would be near impossible in a 6-7 day deadline to restore / customize a complete car to a high quality. Car restoration is a labour intensive project and to achieve top results ,means it simply takes time. !! Shortcuts = problems later on. Great tv show Great cars. Foose a great talent Foose a genuine human being who cares about ppl and loves his cars. Cheers Kim Melb,Aust.
Personally I think Chip Foose does the best job designing cars. Unfortunately all these shows, including the home remodeling shows, add the unnecessary drama. Drop the drama and these shows would be so much better.
@Goose Tater the 56 F100 is the icon of the industry.. baddest hotrod truck. Chip was devastated to lose that truck. I have 3 56's myself. And a couple mustangs 69,70
There was a cartoon artist who was overhauled who lived on a steep hill. After he got his car back he was on Hand built Hotrods having the transmission changed from a stick shift to an automatic. Because of the steep hill with stop signs as you are going up or down. I guess he smoked the clutch a few times and thought it better to abuse his celebrity and be featured on another car show. Like there’s no broke ass dude or dudet that needs some overhauling. I’m pretty sure I have the lost Eleanor. I purchased a 72 Mustang Fastback code C3 Medium Yellow Gold in 2012. I first attempted to purchase the car in 1986-7. I had my 70 Torino GT transmission rebuilt and my instructions to the owner were to make it shift as hard as possible to get a second and third gear chirp When leaving the transmission shop I held the pedal to the floor and hit second gear and BAM, there went the gears. I coasted to a stop and spotted a Caterpillar yellow 72 Mustang Fastback in a driveway close by. I needed to barrow a phone anyway so I thought maybe he’d let me have the car cheap and use the phone to call a friend for a tow back to the house. He let me use the phone but bowed up when I mentioned the car. He said HELL NO THAT MF AINT FOR SALE. I left it at that but found myself looking at the car every time I drove down that road out of habit. Fast forward 26 years. I saw the car sitting on a flatbed wrecker and asked the driver what they were doing with it. He said taking it to the crusher. I didn’t see a smile so asked him to contact the owner and let me talk to him. I purchased the car for a few hundred dollars and went and picked up the keys and bill of sale. After owning it for a couple of years I found out about this other Eleanor. In my research I found that the original movie had 2 Eleanors. One stunt car and a beauty shot car that they had sent to a local upholstery shop to change the normal looking seats into something attractive. I have a car with 49,000 miles that I’m still driving that has the factory brakes on it all the way around. The original bulbs and headlights, original 8 track player that still works, original transmission fluid and brake fluid, it’s a high optioned base model built in the year the auto industry drastically cut horsepower and muscle so the person who ordered it got all but 3 of the 17 options. I haven’t done a Mardi report but will soon. Oh yeah, with all the original equipment still like it was from the factory, in California, it has custom front seats but had the factory plugs, wires, belts, and wheels etc. but the seats were custom. The car was built in San Jose Cali in 1971 and was purchased from a used car lot in or around the LA area where the first Gone In 60 Seconds was filmed.
As a car fanatic, I wish that show never ended because I know Chip Foose is a great designer and has so much ideas and a lot of work to do with car. Which inspires me want to be a car customizer one day. I’m definitely going to miss that show.
Move to New Zealand. We're seeing it for the first time, courtesy of Rush, one of our new channels since Discovery bought TV 3. We're only up to season 8!
Sweet tiger24 couldn’t agree more. The celeb bashing has left out Mr Leno paying for an employee to have his Lotus brought back to life. I thought that was a superb build, very educational and seemed to deeply touch a man’s life who could not have rebuilt his car without the help. Personally I felt the shows luster was tainted by the overuse of pranks and irrelevant banter drawing away from the education and explaining of trade skills that make the genre compelling. I know it seems somewhat gratuitous but “advertising” if solid explanations are given are far more effective than than the over repeated pharmaceutical ads the run ad nauseam. For instance during the “Leno Lotus” the magnaflo engineer comes on and explains the use of the plastic mock-up pipes and how to use them and calculate a header. Amazing information. If they incorporated more of that it would be advertising but aiding the consumer in the howto and why we need or could simplify a project with their product. I felt the producers really missed out by substituting DIYverstising with slapstick antics.
The cars from the show needed much more than “fine tuning”. Just ask Joe Rogan about his experience with his Foose Built Cuda. His suspension literally dropped on him after a highway run.
@@Freebird67 actually, right builder. Foose built Rogans Cuda. Rogan talks about it on his podcast. And if you know anything about The subject, you’ll see it’s the right builder. Do your research before telling someone they wrong.
@@RichW240 i thought Chip Designed and built it. Thanks for clarifying. Im surprised. Troy has a really great reputation. I guess stuff easily falls through the cracks on TV builds because of the time sensitivity.
@@johnnymula2305 I feel that the builder and designer of the Cuda are being unfairly trashed here! One of the gentlemen who posted a comment in this section said that he collects 70's Mopars. He said that Mopars of that era are Unibody and do not a full frame. "A 70's Mopar that will be driven in competition (or like a 911 turbo) must have the suspension attachment points reinforced!" Custom car builders build cars to be displayed at shows or driven fairly easily on the streets. If a custom car owner plans to drive the car in autocrosses (or like a 911 turbo), it is his responsibility to let the car builder know so that they can set up the car for that purpose! I watched a TH-cam video showing "Rad Rides by Troy" building the Cuda. I don't believe that they were under any time-frame to complete the Cuda. Heck, given the size and width of the rear tires, the owner was lucky that the rear axle wasn't ripped out of the car the first time that he did a burn-out!
I had the privilege of meeting Chip.real nice guy.i got to shake his hand and got a picture at the Chevron in Norwalk On Firestone. Totally awesome, dude.. I hope you get to bring a show back. The work that they do on the cars is pretty sweet..
Loved their work. Chip is a lovely bloke. I think the aforementioned reasons are bullshit. Chip said to me the cost of the show became prohibitive and the makers couldn’t afford to do it anymore.
Foose could have had a show where the episodes showed he and his team showing their talent, doing their thing without all the drama. The drama got to be more corny than funny. The real drama was when Foose and a bunch of other talented people left Coddington. He was such a sob treated his people like dirt, let greed take over his love for cars. Even though Boyd is gone I still won’t by his wheels. The closest thing I’ve witnessed in person any top name having to do with cars or motor sports is jack roush. He treats his people, even his drivers and his few followers like dirt just like Boyd did. Two plane crashes both, miracles he even survived, has taken him down a notch or two. The gas monkey is another subject, where “what’s his name” beats people out of their vehicle offering them pennies on the dollar of what their worth. Usually old people, or the poor old man he swiped the three Challengers from getting all 3 for what one would normally cost.
So what does upgrading have to do with taxes until (or unless) the car is sold? It's not like it's a house and the property taxes go up based on the home's value.
Why did these guys do a car for a multi millionaire , someone who could afford to do it for himself ? I 'am talking about Shaquille O' Neal , they lost all my respect and though I am a nobody I still know that was wrong on so many levels and shame on Shaq for allowing it to be aired he should be embarrass .
I think the show needed a better time slot. There is no doubt that Chip is a much better builder than gas monkey garage. The reason some probably sold their Overhaulin car's is they could get so.much out of them because they were designed by Chip.
At 6:27... for being "car guys", they should know there is no such thing as a "200R4 transmission". There is a 2004R and a 700R4. Not hard to figure this stuff out. I have had car guys call and ask for overhaul prices on "an 80LR4E trans" and such.
Makes me damn glad, I was never chose for this show,, one thing, is I’m in Illinois, so most likey, wouldn’t have happened, second,, I always knew, there was a catch,,,,,an expensive one at that
I miss overhaulin. Chip Foose is buy far my favorite car designer. You cannot tell me otherwise. Chip Foose really dose infuse love and heart in every single one of his projects. Tell me otherwise and we will fight lol. IJS
You Tube and other steaming channels are taking ratings from basic cable. These shows just have too many commercials and fake drama to get 'average viewers' for ratings, and common people don't know much about cars, so add drama, flash, and celebrities. Rawlins' show got tiresome with the fake "deadlines" and drama, along with Aaron leaving.
Please come to Australia after.. covid-19 is over recreate the show overhaul 2 Australia.... There will be plenty of suppliers willing to offer parts..
12 minutes to tell me how "reality TV" works? And only leading up to financial reasons? (Sigh). 1stly, I never really liked how the "Foose" style of modding cars went. WAAAY too radical of changes. I appreciate the talent, & craftsmanship, but the changes took away what the car was, in exchange for a style change that's likely to be here today, gone tomorrow. 2ndly, this was a drone of a video, with no payoff at the end. Anyone who's ever seen anything remotely like Overhaulin', knows what these shows are about. Might as well have told us how "Once upon a time it rained. It got wet outside, & then it stopped. The end." There was NO story here. Welp, there goes 12 minutes I could've been using for something productive. (Plus the 10 minutes I took to gripe! Ha!).
Some states like CT, charge a property tax based on the value of the car. Fortunately though, some states let you register the car as a classic, it drastically lowers the taxes.
I guess it varies state by state. Like if you did the work yourself, or paid someone to do the work you’d pay taxes on the parts and labor but like in my state the value of your car would remain the same.
If you already owned a car, and you modified it, who in their right mind would let the government know the value increased so they could tax you more?!
When someone takes a one of a limited numbered vehicle and then changes the body design, it ruins the vintage value of that vehicle. My daughter works for Haggerty insurance and knows exactly what the value of a vintage car will be. If it has been changed, even by Chip Foose, it can destroy the value and insurability of that vehicle. The value of an older vehicle is based on its manufacturer made original value based on other cars of same type and model. Additional factory ad ons increase the value NOT changes in design or modern upgrades. A Chip Foose vehicle cannot be made worth more through the insurance company because of what he did to it. They will only insure its original value. Sorry Chip.
That's why I like Road Kill Garage and Engine Masters. Enjoyable, knowledgeable, entertaining without the stupid created drama. Don't get me wrong, I love Overhaulin but couldn't stand the last two women they had on there (Adrienne and Arianny) that didn't really know how to work on cars and would look at the camera and marvel when they took off a piece of trim. Really? Also Chris Jacobs could be quite annoying at times but understand that he is a tv "personality". Cherielyn Westrick was awesome on the show. Don't know why she left. So sad when Jessi Combs died. Chip Foose is a master at car design and customizing.
Right on the money pun intended, add celebreties and no longer I was a participant of a chance to be me the next lucky guy, but those more privileged like the rich and famous.
A E - Yes !!! It is so unbelievably sad when they also use celebrities to pitch things on TV that they themselves will NEVER NEED because they are all millionaires... I hate that stuff...
Rich EADES - Yes, but there is that problem of going out of state, getting the car shipped Back to California, working on it, and then the return of the car however that happens... Do you fly the people to California to get their car back??? What if they dont want to or cannot just take the time to stop and come to California, pay a big amount of money in taxes, and then drive their Overhauled car back to where they live??? I think the Logistics for doing out of state cars was just going to be too much not to mention how much all that would cost someone...
The taxes are just like In game shows where you win a car like on the price is right the people that win a car or any vehicles like a boat to they have to pay the taxes As well as registration cost and insurance
@@Bild0zer They would be taxed on the fair market value of the work done, and I presume the parts as well. There used to be a show on network TV where struggling families got their home fixed up. I think it was Extreme Home Makeover, but I'm not sure. Anyway, some of the lucky winners wound up being forced to sell their house. Apart from higher local property taxes, they also has to pay taxes to the IRS for the fair market value of the home repairs.
Chip Foose is an amazing man. You can tell the passion he has for cars and you can tell he is very down to earth and a great man
@Goose Tater what is FOS? Can you elaborate on why Foose isn't the person you see on Overhauling?
11 minutes of suckiness
@Goose Tater so it's a difference in opinion.
@Goose Tater haha, couch potato.
@Goose Tater and yet i can name several shows with the same shortcomings either going on too long or still on TV.
At least Chip is a genuine, likable person than the reality shows you probably watch
NO celebrity should have ever been overhauled on the show! They can afford it on their own.
@Goose Tater I would have liked to have got to see more people, that were just getting by in life, get their cherished ride whatever, overhauled at no cost to the owner. That would have brought tears of joy to me for that person.
That was the networks choice, Chip and us builders didn’t want to do it and morale was low on those builds for that exact reason. However, Tony Todd whose LeMans convertible that we built, was one of the most gracious recipients. If you watch the reveal of that build, you can feel his enthusiasm and gratitude.
@@benjaminbright6656 What does Tony Todd do? Do you know the title of that episode?
@@glenhardy4770 Tony Todd is an actor and Charlie Sheen’s best friend. We built his car during the 4th season back in 2006, episode 2 titled “Le Mama’s Boy.”
Facts but it's Hollywood
I completely hate what popular opinion does to reality TV shows. They start out on pure talent and the goings on in the shop and then they have to bring in the poorly conceived prank shit and drama.
That’s why kindig it is too tier
My father was a first generation gear head before 1/4 mile runs were a thing. Back then he knew terms like "chopped", "channeled", and "leaded in", his '41 continental was a beauty. He was a member of a car club "The Carlsbad Oiler's" before Korea interrupted his young adult life. He didn't care much for what he called "modern hot rods", which for him was anything without a flathead or flames, but he understood my passions for them. He and I agreed on one thing regarding Overhaulin', it was a tolerable reality T.V. show, but the knowledge and abilities of the crew was inspiring. Rest in peace R.L. Anderson, sorry your last year had to be 2020 but your legacy lives on.
I don't think Chip foose does a terrible job of car designing. I think he's pretty talented of taking any car and making his own. I love all kinds of hot rod cars no matter what they look like if it's custom or if it's modern. I love the TV show overhaul I think the crew works well together even though there's going to be times where there's going to be ups and downs like anything in life. I love the car shows from the early 2000s that's when things started picking up. It's a bummer that the TV show overhaul ended. Maybe they will bring back the show overhaul. I love how Chip foose Holly sits down and start sketching what the car will look like in his mind and he will put it on a piece of paper and make it come to life. It doesn't matter if a small custom car shop or a bigger shop in the United States of America everyone's shop is unique to their own. America was built on the foundation of freedom of speech but freedom in general. This is what it makes America so great is we can come up with any kind of design if that's car design or coming up with Waze to come up with different unique foods like watching The History channel and how they make old fashioned candies that made America today. America is the pioneer of a lot of inventive creations. I love the old classic cars from the 40s 50s 60s 70s and 80s...✍️🇺🇲✝️😎
We have paid Chip to make appearances at our company functions and he is one of the nicest guys you’ll ever meet.
Met him at Autorama in Detroit... He was on his way to the back with haste... I stopped him and he was the NICEST GUY ever.. Even tho he had something on his mind during great 8 judging.
I met him at a Nascar race with Greg biffle and Roush . They were all very nice .
Shit money talks
I like everything but his wheels ..yeah I know but still Im not into buying new custom lowpros Everytime I drive over a peeble
The thing about paying people just to be somewhere doing nothing is they tend to be nice about it.
When are networks going to realize viewers DO NOT WANT CONTRIVED DRAMA! We can spot it easily, everytime! Are we supposed to believe no one notices cameras everywhere? If It has "contrived reality" I WILL NOT WATCH IT!
It's si boring with all the drama. Also the guy and women talking is annoying. Go away! Just wanna watch the process and if its not much drama TV dont realize thats better:)
I feel the same as you about the drama. But I think we are the minority. Just look at Street Outlaws. Dumb. People love that junk. Dudes running their mouth’s. Chicks with their boobs hanging out. Nothing to do with the actual cars. Yet, those shows are popular. Again....dumb.
well that was a total waste of 11 minutes.
I ran into Chip in a pizza place in a southern Ca. pizza place where he was sitting at a table waiting for his pizza--I immediately recognized him and went over to him and shook his hand and told him how much I loved his show--He was very polite and thanked me--I really miss this show because no matter what the story was the cars always came out beautiful at the end.Bring it back Chip...
The celebrity build done with Johnny Depp's Mercury was a major nightmare for one artist in particular. The Late Mike Lavallee, founder and owner of Killer Paint, wouldn't be paid for his time and labor, lost work while film crews tied up his shop or costs he incurred flying to SoCal from Washington State and back, for several years and this wasn't an isolated incident for the "Reality TV" industry.
That Mustang is my favourite build of the whole series. A car to drive in to Heaven …….. 👍😎🇳🇿✨
American hot rod pissed me off. Too much arguing between the shop manager and the employees. Bitchin’ Rides is far better and everyone is cool to each other. Graveyard Carz is great too because it’s all Mopar.
American Hot rod always had a very short deadlines and put tons of stress on the shop guys every time.
@@dennisd4452 that’s why I like the other shows. The only stressful builds they do are for SEMA or other shows. But on AHR the shop manager (Kevin?) was just awful. Plain old mean and angry. I’m surprised they stayed in business for as long as they did. I don’t know why they gave themselves ridiculous deadlines.
Kindig It designs takes their time and from what I see they’re all friends and excellent craftsmen. Garage Squad is another excellent show. The crew is positive, even when faced with a ton of work, and even when there’s stress it’s handled well by Joe and Bruno.
I was never really a fan of Boyd, I didn’t like his character, ego or show
@@the_m34 absolutely! He was always a bit arrogant.
I like GYC's because it is all Mopar (Mopar or no car) but man, Mark sure can get on my nerves because of his personality. He definitely knows his crap but it's almost like he's Stuart from MADtv. lol
Overhauling was the best car show ever and Chip is the best car designer ever !!!
Have you ever heard of Dave Kindig?
Retropower in the UK (check TH-cam). Master craftsmen! 👌👌
Chip comes across as a regular guy with an amazing talent.
chip is awesome... but.. there's a god... shelby..
🤣🤣🤣🤣 err no.
I had a 64 galaxie xl that my wife and daughter said that they tried getting it on overhauliin but never got a response so eventually I was told what they had tried. Being in Tx was probably one of the big holdups. I finally gave it to my son.
Great car! The show was actually getting over 13,000 applications a week through some of the seasons.
That sucked, I was waiting till the very end to see that guy get punched!
Me to
That was an excellent straight right, not the first he has thrown
The punch happened in the first episode of the final season. It has nothing to do with the show ending.
I rewinded it like 5x . Was the best 2 seconds of the vid.
They never explained the Punch at all just something to suck you in.. Typical Marketing BS. F these Shows. Never authentic.
Loved watching how choked up some people would get when they saw their car finished, and you could tell that wasn't fake. Chip and his team do amazing work, it's really a shame that states have to always grab their undeserved share.
Always man
The show might be cancelled however Forse designs are still producing beautiful cars.
Foose Designs..
If the car is already owned and all the parts are gifted and the work is gifted how is it taxed.
Some states like California and Virginia require you to pay taxes each year based on the value of your car, and since the show was based on California i believe this is what they were stating
Or at a very LOW cost. That was mentioned a few times.
You can place a value on a gift.
Free builds for people that were able to pay for their own work, reality garbage.
I think parts of this video are BS... I live less than 10 minutes from Chip's shop and am having a '79 Jeep Cherokee restored right now at another shop. There are no extra taxes paid on a vehicle because the value goes up, unless you sell it and then only if you claim the sale on your income taxes. If you own your vehicle outright, you just pay for insurance and registration. The amount you pay for registration in California is based on the year of the vehicle, not the present value, if that was the case, vehicles would have to be appraised every year.
I’ve never liked the prank aspect of the show. It’s made me uncomfortable. Why not just let the lucky person know of their good fortune?
YES! Liked Chip, liked the result, hated the frigging pranks that must have really stressed some 'marks'. Be surprised if only one guy got punched. Conceal and carry could have ended in one dead prankster.
imagine if you someone just showed up, out of the kindness of their heart and wanting to fix your ride. You would probably think they're up to something or already stole your ride. i think the prank is better because you see the person real emotions and the relatives and friends are also happy for that person.
I used to be a really big fan of the show, but I would skip right past all of the "prank" nonsense on the DVR, only coming back to the show when the car showed up at the garage. The best part was seeing Chip designing the final car. The man is an incredibly talented artist.
@@0fficialdregs I imagine if someone like Chip Foose showed up and wanted permission to fix my car, I would be so happy... Pranking is so outdated and dumb..
@@frandanco6289 it is and not really funny too
I was well and truly"GUTTED!!!!!!!!!!" when they stopped showing this, i like the designs and the final revealing of the finished job, and that guy is a swift artist in his own right, i also like his quick car design sketches, the government wants to destroy everything that is good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Too bad they didn't expand the show to other states.
There are plenty of other cars in other states that deserve to be on overhaulin
It sounds like they cut ALL THE CORNERS they could...
still some good work there - though to be on the hook for all the taxes, is a bit rough.
Also, some things with sentimental value - well, sometimes the design was many not to everyone's taste.
They kinda did. We had a short run of Overhaulin' Argentina which was burning bullshit
I thought they did do a few cars from other states towards the end of the first run? (or am I thinking of something else?)
One car in season one was done in Laramie Wyoming. There was an Overhaulin and bum rush episode in season four that was out of state as well. All of the SEMA show episodes from season 2, 3, 4 and 5 were nevada-based cars. Chip still operates Foose design with year-round builds for customers while OH was going on, so naturally most of the show was still based in SoCal.
@@TheLindyHooper Yes, Chip Foose has a very nice shop in Huntington Beach, CA.. I have been there to visit once... He had some amazing builds going on... The nicest man you would ever meet... Remember the early episodes that he did with his Dad?? You have to believe that his parents instilled in him all that he is today, and that is why he is like he is too..
Those celebrity episodes didn't do the show any favors. They would redo a vehicle owned by a multi millionaire that could have easily afforded to do anything they wanted to have done at anytime and simply wrote a check for it no matter what it cost. I could care less about seeing amber heard get 100k worth of free work when she already gets paid 30+ million a year to do a few damn movies. Her annual shoe bill alone was worth more than the damn car. Piss poor studio management!
If I had to sell my car after its done I wouldn't want it to be overhauled
And it's for that reason right there the Chip Foose lost me as a fan although he's a great car designer he was still involved he lost a lot of fans over that and I'm one of them
Exactly!
I always thought Boyd was a jerk but really liked Chip
Agree
In the eighties, buying hot rod/street machine magazines I thought Boyd was a master designer and craftsman.
It seems like Foose was responsible for a lot of the designs.
Foose seems like a nice guy to boot, although Boyd wasn't a well man during his shows run. I still like cars with the 'Boyd' look though.
Boyd was all about an ROI. His design ideas were what got him to where he was but, when he controlled the budget, any savings made were his. Chip was all about creating and expressing his ideas. He was more about special touches to make things right....make things better....being special was in the details. I'd love to give him my 79 440 D100 Shorty to make right, and special.
No , Chip shafted Boyd and betrayed him
@@ArtVandelayOfficial Complete and utter rubbish. Dishonest rubbish too as anyone who looks at the FACTS!! can see. Boyd should hav been in prison after the "wheel fraud" and set Foose up to take the fall. If Coddington had not died he would have been in prison. And the great designs were all Foose.
Same thing basically happened when people would get a surprise rebuild of their house most of them couldn't afford the house after it was completely re-done taxes Etc thanks for posting
I have never in my life heard of anybody ever being taxed on improving a car that’s already titled to them ,a sale would have to occur
I'm sure California will figure a way!!!🤣🤣
I'm in the UK, it's a joke that in the USA you have to pay taxes on prizes. Y'all get excited over your freedom to carry guns but yet you get screwed on taxes and loads of other state control.
You dont live in Ct, do you, lol. I had to pay 3200.00 sales tax on a Chevelle I owned for 6 years, bought in New Hampshire, same with my bikes
@@crazytrain7114 why? I live in Florida. That makes zero sense, how can they tax you on something you already own?
@@crazytrain7114 thats why you say you sold it for 25% of the value or whatever lowered price because you were on hard times and needed a quick sale.
Could it be that not everyone can afford cable or satellite TV now. That may be why a lot of shows lose ratings.
i cut the cord in 2015 after i built my pc. after that, i stopped watching TV altogether and only watch stuff online.
Maybe if they had the show on amazon prime or netflix, some of us might still want it
I did not like the idea of doing it for celebrities. They can afford to do their own. It’s more satisfying to see the average person receive the gift and surprise
I agree the skill on Overhaulin' was really good but I did not enjoy the drama part. Video was an eye opener to the type of programming created. Chip love your designs.
i didn't like the drama but I did love hearing the story behind the cars!
My Dad and I would bond watching this Show.
I'm big in the automotive field and been in cars for years. I drove 2,500 miles to southern California to buy a 69 Camaro in 2007 stopped in at Boyd's in the morning. I was in the showroom had my nice clothes on not stained work clothes and Boyd a little later was looking at me leaning against one of his show room cars but he didn't say anything. I guess he felt I wasn't a serious buyer and had no money. Or maybe he just had things to do but no one helped me while I was looking around. I bought a fully restored turn key 69 Camaro the next day in southern California. Even got to keep the antique license plate on the car and drive it when I was there for an added bonus! No hard feelings to Boyd or staff. You just never know who is a serious buyer or not so be friendly to all like Chip Foose seems to be. Boyd's show was good but much drama and not how I run business. All that drama and anger among employees usually get someone hurt and is not productive. Overhauling better show but shows like this better be careful doing pranks someone got one in the bread box and laid out - possibly hurt - possible law suit!!! Hollywood is always pushing the boundaries to get the ratings and someone else's expense and at times gets someone hurt. Hollywood doesn't use common sense at times.
The way the narration is delivered makes it sound like Foose entered into this contract with full knowledge of what Discovery had in mind , re drama and errata. Chip's original relationship with Discovery was for a show called Rides- they came to Foose's shop and shot what they were doing, with the personnel at at hand. No drama, no BS. Chip was already signed up, IMHO, before he knew about the crap they were fixing to drop on him and his workers, many were his friends and friends of his father's - Sam Foose. This narration doesn't really go far enough into the mechanics of the garbage Boyd Coddington brought to the table for Chip and his father , who were both family firends for years before any of this Discovery crap went down. the so called "Boyd Style", that Coddington tried to sue Chip for using was Sam's originally- clean, lots of flow and great color. Chip learned it at an early age- in the early 90s he built a car called the Alien form a 1940 Ford Panel Sedan; it won everything at Chip's first AMBR as a contestant- except the Most beautiful Roadster Trophy, because it was not a roadster. He shows every element of the Boyd look in that car, built before he ever worked for Coddington. I don't know why I care- Chip doesn't need anyone to defend him- his shop is booked to the walls, he has more requests for paid appearances than he can do, and mostly he has a family he cares deeply about. Speaking about Chip's family- did you get permission to use his logo and pictures? Chip's wife is a very good lawyer I hear- it might be cheaper to pay her than litigate with her.
I think the show was fun to watch. although Arianny Celeste was only on the show as eye-candy, which wasn't all bad, but she was as useful as a sponge on the Titanic. C.J. was more beneficial, and just as attractive.
Yeah, she was just not good.
Useful as a sponge on the Titanic love it!!!👍
I got so sad when I found out the show ended, I enjoyed watching the transformation the A Team did! Always hoping that I had the opportunity for my van to be overhauled by the A team, Chip Foos. I had a 1989 GMC Vandura 350 5.7 engine customized van design by "Happy Times". I love the name of the van makes me happy and so proud to have had it, and experienced it. It had a slow oil leak for a long time and finally blew up a head gasket even though I kept fillingitupwith oil. I couldn't afford to fix it so, I sold it in 2021. I had my van for 13 years and enjoyed it every minute of it even though it was a gas eater. But, that motor, WOW 👏😍.
Thank you Chip Foos and the A Team for the wonderful show. I wish you all come back with the show again. My wish. Wishing you all well.
i cant believe Chris didnt get a fist sooner in the shows history
I can't believe he didn't duck that punch. You could see it coming from a mile away.
I don’t like that at the beginning it’s “ insinuated” they may have got sued over a punch 🤛 in the face
Dave .....He still needs a FIST
PLEASE KEEP THIS SHOW GOING FOOSE HIS WORK IS A WORK OF ART AND A JOY TO WATCH MILLIONS ENJOY
I heard that California is going to start taxing people who receive Christmas gifts and birthday presents. Just like the upgrades on these cars, It's considered capital gains. Regardless that some of these classic cars actually lost value due to modifications, the car owner was given free parts and labor and therefore the government is entitled to their fair share of the freely gifted items. In that case, the only capital gain is to the state. So remember, when grandma gives you pajamas for Christmas, pay California their entitled share.
Lol, whoever told you that, had 1 too many drinks at the trump rally.
@@MrPiimpslap Sarcasm and satire. It was a joke.
@@tangoindiamike9189 I don't live in CA, never will either, but I'd love if they did that here because then you can write off everything you "give" 😉
F commiefornia
LOL. They have to pay for the illegals to have car insurance and medicals bills paid somehow. Screw the people who grew up there and paid taxes all their lives. State income tax will be 20% soon. That's why I live in Florida. Also, if you are a libtard in Cali...stay there, don't move to Texas or Florida, we don't need your problems or b.s.
As it is in Hollywood more often than not, most folks are so thin skinned they're afraid of their own reflection.
not only there
I think it’s sucked I was expecting to see somebody get punched in the face
Me too fucking dog😡😡
Ya did...in the first few seconds! But yeah, kinda shady
It did happen once
Typical bait....just like the show
Yeah that guy got his Corvette windshield busted by Chris, I would have punched him too.
I miss overhaulen I thought it was a good program.
Every car done on this show meant the owners had to pay additional taxes as income due to the value of cars being increased. A lot of people actually ended up selling the car just to pay the tax, which is eff'd up since once paid for cars were now being lost.
@@_-0_x_-_p_0-_ No, you don’t have to pay taxes on a car you already own but you do have to pay taxes on the products used for the build, which the owners already agreed to before the build.
I have always wanted to meet Chip Goose. There are a few celebrities that I would like to meet, a d Chip is right up near the top. I believe that he is a genuine great person.
Any thing chip foose designs appreciates in value. He is a car GOD!
I used to watch the show too, then they had a celebrity, then It had another celebrity little later, that turned me off from the show and it didn't watch it for years, I won't watch reruns because of it also. what a shame they had to ruin it by putting wealthy people on who can afford to fix their own stuff, shame!
The whole video is a screenrant rip off. Try making original content.
Don't watch it.
Most of the people watch that show just for chip
ya i wouldn't pay higher taxes on a registered and titled car where i live. now insurance may be a different story for appraised value.
So....what about the dude getting face punched? No explanation? Waste my time
Basically a prank that's gone wrong.
Fun fact it was the first time it happened in overhaulin.
Great episode btw.
@Goose Tater Ironic comment. Also, "Your" is the possessive form you're looking for in all three instances.
So besically the show was way better than pimp my ride, westcoast and actually did a good job
Surpassing pimp my ride, west coast customs isnt exactly hard. Mistfit garage , garbage as it was was still lightyears better
Why couldn't the show just pay the taxes? I'm sure they made more than enough to do that and make a huge profit
Greedy i want to keep as much of it for me american way is the cause. No one is happy with just making a small profit. Think of companies buying or taking over other companies just to dismantle it even if said company was making a profit but not enough in someones opinion etc. Everyone want to be instant rich off someone else's back is the american way. There is no more pride in making it anymore. I see so often young people finding a good paying job and they go out and buy a big house with new truck out front jacked up and modified with a barely used camper parked on the side with a side by side , boat, snowmobile bimbo wife , dog, cat etc. all before hitting 25 and as soon as they lose the job or the economy drops out like the oilfields did a few years ago they have to sell or give back everything just to eat as well as the bimbo starts cheating or leaving said young person in the dust. I call them insta-baby drive threw nation caution thrown to the wind generation. Now lots of people live beyond their means and the first straw that lands on them breaks them from their greed of too fast too soon living. It also reflects in their eating habits. Super size it now for only a dollar more attitude. 25 year old's now look like 45-50 year old's. look at ordinary people photo's in the 50-60 and compare it to what you see now walking the streets. Old values have been lost and now we have what we have from the little guy to the big guys at the top trying to maintain and hording for oneself and need to own everything now. Sorry for the rant but i seen too much with my years of living on planet earth.
I never considered that the Ship of Theseus law would come into play here. I've seen resto-mods cross the auction block recently, bringing in some surprising numbers.
I saw every episode but One...Amber Heard - Johnny Depp.
When I saw it was those two on the show...Quickly Flipped the Channel
Foose makes richard rawlings look like a joke.
@Goose Tater I think he meant as far as a true talent.Foose has more talent in his little finger then Rawlings whole family tree..
@Goose Tater true..hey they are both richer than me so who am I lol..godspeed friend
Richard rawlings biker build off bike used stuff from a magazine because they couldn't fabricate any of it themselves.
Foose is a professional fabricator and artist. Rawlings is a very intelligent businessman who takes calculated risks, and a show personality. Completely different ends of the earth. Foose and Kindig are the best at what they do. Rawlings is an outstanding promoter and knows how to run a business.
Rawlings and Boyd Coddington went to the same school of scumbagery. Couldn't stand either one of them.
@5:45 “many of the cars have sentimental value and were later sold” lmfao
many were sold to be able to cover the cost of taxes.
Coddington fired a lot of his employees and was upset they were then working for Chip Foose; in a video where Chip Foose showcased a vehicle from Coddington's garage, Foose showed him way too much respect. On clips from his show, American Hot Rod, Coddington's shop manager was a total asshole and Coddington showed no respect towards him employees what so ever and was pissed when his employees went to work for Chip Foose.
Essentially, those who worked for Coddington should've been honored he picked them to work for him and was upset seeing how Chip Foose was stealing his employees despite they were fired by Coddington.
Enjoyed the series of Overhaulin'
Was that a real TKO punch??
Or set up for the camera.
Cos it looked real, he connected !!
The viewers/ public must understand that it would be near impossible in a 6-7 day deadline to restore / customize a complete car to a high quality.
Car restoration is a labour intensive project and to achieve top results ,means it simply takes time. !! Shortcuts = problems later on.
Great tv show
Great cars.
Foose a great talent
Foose a genuine human being who cares about ppl and loves his cars.
Cheers

Melb,Aust.
Personally I think Chip Foose does the best job designing cars. Unfortunately all these shows, including the home remodeling shows, add the unnecessary drama. Drop the drama and these shows would be so much better.
No normal people does not like a bunch of drama arguing and fighting we love muscle cars n trucks and good times
When Chip got his 56 overhauled was the best episode.
Project Overlord was the best wasn't it!! Hands down the best episode. I rewatch it all the time.
@Goose Tater the 56 F100 is the icon of the industry.. baddest hotrod truck. Chip was devastated to lose that truck. I have 3 56's myself. And a couple mustangs 69,70
There was a cartoon artist who was overhauled who lived on a steep hill. After he got his car back he was on Hand built Hotrods having the transmission changed from a stick shift to an automatic. Because of the steep hill with stop signs as you are going up or down. I guess he smoked the clutch a few times and thought it better to abuse his celebrity and be featured on another car show. Like there’s no broke ass dude or dudet that needs some overhauling.
I’m pretty sure I have the lost Eleanor. I purchased a 72 Mustang Fastback code C3 Medium Yellow Gold in 2012.
I first attempted to purchase the car in 1986-7. I had my 70 Torino GT transmission rebuilt and my instructions to the owner were to make it shift as hard as possible to get a second and third gear chirp When leaving the transmission shop I held the pedal to the floor and hit second gear and BAM, there went the gears. I coasted to a stop and spotted a Caterpillar yellow 72 Mustang Fastback in a driveway close by. I needed to barrow a phone anyway so I thought maybe he’d let me have the car cheap and use the phone to call a friend for a tow back to the house. He let me use the phone but bowed up when I mentioned the car. He said HELL NO THAT MF AINT FOR SALE. I left it at that but found myself looking at the car every time I drove down that road out of habit. Fast forward
26 years. I saw the car sitting on a flatbed wrecker and asked the driver what they were doing with it. He said taking it to the crusher. I didn’t see a smile so asked him to contact the owner and let me talk to him. I purchased the car for a few hundred dollars and went and picked up the keys and bill of sale. After owning it for a couple of years I found out about this other Eleanor. In my research I found that the original movie had 2 Eleanors. One stunt car and a beauty shot car that they had sent to a local upholstery shop to change the normal looking seats into something attractive. I have a car with 49,000 miles that I’m still driving that has the factory brakes on it all the way around. The original bulbs and headlights, original 8 track player that still works, original transmission fluid and brake fluid, it’s a high optioned base model built in the year the auto industry drastically cut horsepower and muscle so the person who ordered it got all but 3 of the 17 options. I haven’t done a Mardi report but will soon. Oh yeah, with all the original equipment still like it was from the factory, in California, it has custom front seats but had the factory plugs, wires, belts, and wheels etc. but the seats were custom. The car was built in San Jose Cali in 1971 and was purchased from a used car lot in or around the LA area where the first Gone In 60 Seconds was filmed.
My favorite "Overhaulin" episode was when Morgan Luttrell got a Mustang fixed up for his identical twin brother, Marcus.
As a car fanatic, I wish that show never ended because I know Chip Foose is a great designer and has so much ideas and a lot of work to do with car. Which inspires me want to be a car customizer one day. I’m definitely going to miss that show.
Move to New Zealand. We're seeing it for the first time, courtesy of Rush, one of our new channels since Discovery bought TV 3. We're only up to season 8!
Sweet tiger24 couldn’t agree more. The celeb bashing has left out Mr Leno paying for an employee to have his Lotus brought back to life. I thought that was a superb build, very educational and seemed to deeply touch a man’s life who could not have rebuilt his car without the help. Personally I felt the shows luster was tainted by the overuse of pranks and irrelevant banter drawing away from the education and explaining of trade skills that make the genre compelling. I know it seems somewhat gratuitous but “advertising” if solid explanations are given are far more effective than than the over repeated pharmaceutical ads the run ad nauseam. For instance during the “Leno Lotus” the magnaflo engineer comes on and explains the use of the plastic mock-up pipes and how to use them and calculate a header. Amazing information. If they incorporated more of that it would be advertising but aiding the consumer in the howto and why we need or could simplify a project with their product. I felt the producers really missed out by substituting DIYverstising with slapstick antics.
chip Foose to cars is like the Elon Musk to rockets! both exceptional in their own rights!!!
Sooooo... We're just NOT gonna get into why someone got punched in the face?
That's why I slowed on watching it celebrities
Overhaulin was one of the best car show on TV, a lot better some of the ones that remain on TV today.
@Goose Tater No, they are moving to Motor Trend channel where you have to pay through steaming, more money for them!
Old expression that people don't consider: THAT'S SHOW BIZ!
The cars from the show needed much more than “fine tuning”. Just ask Joe Rogan about his experience with his Foose Built Cuda. His suspension literally dropped on him after a highway run.
Wrong car builder
@@Freebird67 actually, right builder. Foose built Rogans Cuda. Rogan talks about it on his podcast. And if you know anything about The subject, you’ll see it’s the right builder. Do your research before telling someone they wrong.
@@johnnymula2305 Joe Rogan's Cuda was built by Troy Trepanier (Rad Rides by Troy) Chip Foose designed the car.
@@RichW240 i thought Chip Designed and built it. Thanks for clarifying. Im surprised. Troy has a really great reputation. I guess stuff easily falls through the cracks on TV builds because of the time sensitivity.
@@johnnymula2305 I feel that the builder and designer of the Cuda are being unfairly trashed here! One of the gentlemen who posted a comment in this section said that he collects 70's Mopars. He said that Mopars of that era are Unibody and do not a full frame. "A 70's Mopar that will be driven in competition (or like a 911 turbo) must have the suspension attachment points reinforced!" Custom car builders build cars to be displayed at shows or driven fairly easily on the streets. If a custom car owner plans to drive the car in autocrosses (or like a 911 turbo), it is his responsibility to let the car builder know so that they can set up the car for that purpose! I watched a TH-cam video showing "Rad Rides by Troy" building the Cuda. I don't believe that they were under any time-frame to complete the Cuda. Heck, given the size and width of the rear tires, the owner was lucky that the rear axle wasn't ripped out of the car the first time that he did a burn-out!
That's for the video brings a whole new light on things
I had the privilege of meeting Chip.real nice guy.i got to shake his hand and got a picture at the Chevron in Norwalk On Firestone. Totally awesome, dude.. I hope you get to bring a show back. The work that they do on the cars is pretty sweet..
Very interesting if I had known that I never would have applied
this was the best car show, mainly focused on the cars..the drama was in the pranks.
Loved their work. Chip is a lovely bloke. I think the aforementioned reasons are bullshit. Chip said to me the cost of the show became prohibitive and the makers couldn’t afford to do it anymore.
@Goose Tater and you didn’t read that I was told by Chip himself. Idiot.
@@sticustom thank you , some people watch a you tube video and think it's all true.
@@DavLT thank you.
So Now I'm Going to Have To Hide my Toys To Keep The Government From Taxing Me on Them? Wow!
You need to talk to someone who understands income tax..
Foose could have had a show where the episodes showed he and his team showing their talent, doing their thing without all the drama. The drama got to be more corny than funny. The real drama was when Foose and a bunch of other talented people left Coddington. He was such a sob treated his people like dirt, let greed take over his love for cars. Even though Boyd is gone I still won’t by his wheels. The closest thing I’ve witnessed in person any top name having to do with cars or motor sports is jack roush. He treats his people, even his drivers and his few followers like dirt just like Boyd did. Two plane crashes both, miracles he even survived, has taken him down a notch or two. The gas monkey is another subject, where “what’s his name” beats people out of their vehicle offering them pennies on the dollar of what their worth. Usually old people, or the poor old man he swiped the three Challengers from getting all 3 for what one would normally cost.
@Goose Tater Ok. I guess I hadn’t watched him enough to get to know him better.
So what does upgrading have to do with taxes until (or unless) the car is sold? It's not like it's a house and the property taxes go up based on the home's value.
Why did these guys do a car for a multi millionaire , someone who could afford to do it for himself ? I 'am talking about Shaquille O' Neal , they lost all my respect and though I am a nobody I still know that was wrong on so many levels and shame on Shaq for allowing it to be aired he should be embarrass .
I don't want all the simpleton drama for the dumbed down sheep, just show me how all the damn work is done, like these shows use to!
Are there enough adds?
No one like him still this day a gift from God
I used to watch this when I was younger, always fun to watch. But now seeing this makes me think, but still was a good show.
I think the show needed a better time slot. There is no doubt that Chip is a much better builder than gas monkey garage. The reason some probably sold their Overhaulin car's is they could get so.much out of them because they were designed by Chip.
At 6:27... for being "car guys", they should know there is no such thing as a "200R4 transmission". There is a 2004R and a 700R4. Not hard to figure this stuff out. I have had car guys call and ask for overhaul prices on "an 80LR4E trans" and such.
Lmao 4l80e,4l60e,4l65e 700r4, 200, etc etc
Makes me damn glad, I was never chose for this show,, one thing, is I’m in Illinois, so most likey, wouldn’t have happened, second,, I always knew, there was a catch,,,,,an expensive one at that
Nothing is free
The same with The Price Is Right game show...
What's the catch?
I agree, you would've been on the show, had it not been for those two reasons.
@@lobsterwhisperer7932 probably not,, not from California
🎶 We won't get Foosed again...
I miss overhaulin. Chip Foose is buy far my favorite car designer. You cannot tell me otherwise. Chip Foose really dose infuse love and heart in every single one of his projects. Tell me otherwise and we will fight lol. IJS
Boyd Coddington did all the work!
I called the shop once to ask what is the out of pocket cost to me to get x&x car done....started at 64k that was the last time I viewed the show.
i never liked the show.
You Tube and other steaming channels are taking ratings from basic cable. These shows just have too many commercials and fake drama to get 'average viewers' for ratings, and common people don't know much about cars, so add drama, flash, and celebrities.
Rawlins' show got tiresome with the fake "deadlines" and drama, along with Aaron leaving.
Please come to Australia after.. covid-19 is over recreate the show overhaul 2 Australia.... There will be plenty of suppliers willing to offer parts..
COVID won’t be over until 2030 as announced by Bill Gates. Seriously.
@@gavincurtis Oh yeah because Bill Gates is the authority on Covid 19. Are you for real?
@@Christopher-et7bc i am being sarcastic. The future is not looking good. Mark of the Beast.
@@gavincurtis they won't be sticking me with anything
12 minutes to tell me how "reality TV" works? And only leading up to financial reasons? (Sigh).
1stly, I never really liked how the "Foose" style of modding cars went. WAAAY too radical of changes. I appreciate the talent, & craftsmanship, but the changes took away what the car was, in exchange for a style change that's likely to be here today, gone tomorrow.
2ndly, this was a drone of a video, with no payoff at the end. Anyone who's ever seen anything remotely like Overhaulin', knows what these shows are about. Might as well have told us how "Once upon a time it rained. It got wet outside, & then it stopped. The end." There was NO story here.
Welp, there goes 12 minutes I could've been using for something productive. (Plus the 10 minutes I took to gripe! Ha!).
Yep.Adding so called "Celebs" made me stop watching it
If they already owned the car why would they have to pay any tax?
Some states like CT, charge a property tax based on the value of the car. Fortunately though, some states let you register the car as a classic, it drastically lowers the taxes.
You would have to pay federal and potentially state income taxes based upon the value of the work done and parts.
Simple the value went up.
I guess it varies state by state. Like if you did the work yourself, or paid someone to do the work you’d pay taxes on the parts and labor but like in my state the value of your car would remain the same.
If you already owned a car, and you modified it, who in their right mind would let the government know the value increased so they could tax you more?!
Television companies in the end ruin all good things
When someone takes a one of a limited numbered vehicle and then changes the body design, it ruins the vintage value of that vehicle. My daughter works for Haggerty insurance and knows exactly what the value of a vintage car will be. If it has been changed, even by Chip Foose, it can destroy the value and insurability of that vehicle. The value of an older vehicle is based on its manufacturer made original value based on other cars of same type and model. Additional factory ad ons increase the value NOT changes in design or modern upgrades. A Chip Foose vehicle cannot be made worth more through the insurance company because of what he did to it. They will only insure its original value. Sorry Chip.
That's why I like Road Kill Garage and Engine Masters. Enjoyable, knowledgeable, entertaining without the stupid created drama. Don't get me wrong, I love Overhaulin but couldn't stand the last two women they had on there (Adrienne and Arianny) that didn't really know how to work on cars and would look at the camera and marvel when they took off a piece of trim. Really? Also Chris Jacobs could be quite annoying at times but understand that he is a tv "personality". Cherielyn Westrick was awesome on the show. Don't know why she left. So sad when Jessi Combs died. Chip Foose is a master at car design and customizing.
Thanks for the reviews saved me time watching it.
Right on the money pun intended, add celebreties and no longer I was a participant of a chance to be me the next lucky guy, but those more privileged like the rich and famous.
A E - Yes !!! It is so unbelievably sad when they also use celebrities to pitch things on TV that they themselves will NEVER NEED because they are all millionaires...
I hate that stuff...
Chip Foose é o cara conheci ele aqui no Brasil, quando eu fazia um curso de martelinho de ouro!
Which was more overblown and dramatic for no reason: this show or this video?
It didn't help the show only overhauled cars from California
I think it would have been better if they went outside of California
Rich EADES - Yes, but there is that problem of going out of state, getting the car shipped Back to California, working on it, and then the return of the car however that happens... Do you fly the people to California to get their car back???
What if they dont want to or cannot just take the time to stop and come to California, pay a big amount of money in taxes, and then drive their Overhauled car back to where they live??? I think the Logistics for doing out of state cars was just going to be too much not to mention how much all that would cost someone...
The taxes are just like In game shows where you win a car like on the price is right the people that win a car or any vehicles like a boat to they have to pay the taxes As well as registration cost and insurance
Don’t the marks own the cars? Or are they taxed on the work being done?
@@Bild0zer They would be taxed on the fair market value of the work done, and I presume the parts as well. There used to be a show on network TV where struggling families got their home fixed up. I think it was Extreme Home Makeover, but I'm not sure. Anyway, some of the lucky winners wound up being forced to sell their house. Apart from higher local property taxes, they also has to pay taxes to the IRS for the fair market value of the home repairs.
to sum it up, the show ran it's course and was not exactly what they portrayed it to be. DUH!!!!!!!!
After all, how many times can you do essentially the same thing and still stay fresh?
Loved seeing Chris get rocked, what's PITA he is and hate having to see him on MECUM Auctions. Chip is an incredible designer with a great crew.
