Re: Overhaulin 72 SWB episode
I liked it. I wish they would have put some more power under the hood. That blown engine they joked about would have worked fine. I also wish they would have shown what they did with the gas filler.

Re: Overhaulin 72 SWB episode
Anybody notice they shaved firewall where the a/c or heater box was? That was unexpected. Most of the parts seemed to come from Classic Industries which I haven't heard much of on this board.

Re: Overhaulin 72 SWB episode
I saw this truck down at Fooses shop one week after its completion. (I goofed on thinking it was a SWB)
Im with you guys on the two tone... however, Ive got to say, This truck was Awesome. Trust Me On This... you would want it.It is unbeleivable what they do in a week. |

Re: Overhaulin 72 SWB episode
I think it would be nice if they would show a little more of the tech(like shaving the gas fill/firewall ect).Sometimes they spend to much time on the pranks/family history and not enough on the vehical.

Re: Overhaulin 72 SWB episode
I want to know what they did about the rear end being out of whack an inch and a half. They also did an 8 lug, to 5 lug conversion. What kind of rear end did they put in it? What kind of tranny? They left alot of details out for us viewers...but I guess that's what happens when you have to pack 96 hrs of work into 1 hr of TV.
I do love that hugger orange though! I agree w/ steelhorse, I can do without any of the cheesy pranks, etc. Just show us the build! Chop Cut Rebuild has it down pretty well...I'd like to take that '75 or whatever Brickland around the block.

Re: Overhaulin 72 SWB episode
The hugger orange doesn't seem right to me. Mine is not as orange. I would have kept the upper trim (Foose doesn't like trim). Mine is a 72 3/4 ton just like this 71. I was really excited to see what Chip would do. I must say I was a little disappointed. Seems like the owner wasn't all that excited either. I wish he would have kept the 8 bolt wheels and made some customs for it. I would love to have a set of 8 bolt ralley wheels. That said, I wouldn't mind if he did that to my truck.

Re: Overhaulin 72 SWB episode
Sorry Mertz, 8 lugs just aren't sexy enough for Foose.
As far as who supplied the parts (Classic Industries) or which engine they put in to it, you all gotta remember that they're just promoting their corporate sponsors. |

Re: Overhaulin 72 SWB episode
We, as enthusiasts, will always be disappointed by automotive shows, especially the ones that are not on sports-oriented stations....not that those are any better, but at least you should be able to think they would.
If they were too comprehensive, the average viewer would get bored because they don't understand what they are seeing. They are looking for that "final product" and amazed by how far they strip these cars. |

10-4 on that one- That's why I love my Power Block on Saturday mornings...not to mention Miss Courtney. WHOOO! I was glad to see her step into that show after Overhaulin for sure, she's real easy on the eyes.

Re: Overhaulin 72 SWB episode
I care more how it is done than the final product. I bought and almost finished 67 Malibu SS and it wasn't really any fun. I sold it to pay for a house with a shop. I rented out the house and used the shop. The projects are all a lot more fun.
The worst show was American Hotrod. I am sorry Boyd died but I didn't like the way he treated people and cars. I miss Stacy David and the original guy on Horsepower. |

Re: Overhaulin 72 SWB episode
Oh Man! I had no idea that Boyd Codington died!!!
But I do agree, it wasnt the funnest show to watch...too much drama. You gotta check out Stacey's show on Speed: Gearz @ 9 am eastern time on Speed. Good stuff on there, he does it like he used to on Trucks.

Re: Overhaulin 72 SWB episode
Everybody likes Stacey David better but me ---- i admit he's got a great tv personality and i have his new show dvr'ed too, but how many episodes do you need on how to install Browning machine guns and Rockwells on a vintage 4-by? Copperhead was cool though
