Overhaulin' > Desert Car Kings

[Simon S]

I am a whore for restoration shows..

[CabrioPunk]

Chasing Classic Cars guy is a dick.

Wheeler Dealers is awesome.

Chop Cut Rebuild, guy is a bit of a tard but cool show.

Whats My Car Really Worth is respectable.

Overhaulin' is better now that they don't do the "your car was stolen and here is a cheesy host dressed as a typical cop detective to give you the news".

Never saw Desert Car Kings though.

[Tree18is]

i would like to nit pick a desert car kings car, they look really really rushed and shitty for being sold as "restored"

[grantlacey11]

i like DVAP.

Tie between Chasing Classic Cars and Wheeler Dealers. They have the cars that are most interesting to me. I'm not big into the muscle and classic domestic resto shows.

[Sailor37]

I agree. I can't stand the whole "hey, we're on a deadline, oh look we gotta get this finished and look who fucked me now"....I like the nuts and bolts shows...I used to like Trucks and the Powerblock shows, but those retards got on my nerves.

Agreed.
But I have to watch the show because everything Foose does is perfection.
I cannot find anything wrong with cars Foose designs, the man is an artist in each and every detail.
And mad props to the people that work on the builds.

Overhaulin is kind of fine, but every car gets a set of big goofy wheels.

Desert Car Kings, their cars looks like they only do a half restro to the car just to get it out the door.

Chasing Classic Cars, never seen it

Chop Cut Rebuild, Host is a tard, but show is ok

Gearz, is AWESOME!

Trucks, it's fine

Muscle Car, it's fine, but i got to think the host are both gay and inbred...

Am i missing anymore?

Chasing Classic Cars looks good - I'll have to see if I can dig up episodes somewhere.

Wheeler Dealers & Dessert Car Kings disappoint because they come off as slam bang artists with little passion. Mainly just fixing and flipping.

I found Overhaulin’ on netflix and didn’t get much sleep for like two weeks as I did a mad cap 1-5 season marathon. It just blew me away. The detail, time, and money they threw at those cars was unbelievable. Unlike Pimp My Ride, Foose orchestrated wonderful, valuable, gorgeous, like-new cars tailored to the taste of recipient. And yeah – I could totally do without the ‘stealing’ and ‘pranking’. They had practically armies of mechanics, fabricators, upholsterers, body guys etc. swarming the car. The total man hours, crate motors, wheels, tires, paint, suspension, and on and on had to make for some ridiculously expensive cars – and all banged out in a week? Sheeit.. I’d be ballin’ like a baby too if someone dropped a car like that in my lap.

The few Foose cars that did puzzle me were the roadster cars. Only glass was the front windshield. Cool? Yes. Practical in any sense of the word? Not so much.

yeah - I wasn't really into the big-ass wheels so much either. I guess I'm old or something because I just don't "get it". I think there were only a few episodes where he restrained himself.

I need to check out Gearz..

Yeah i dont get the big wheels either and i'm only 31 lol.

Gearz has Stacy David, He is a down to earth guy. He was on Power Block, cant remember what show though.

[nickflic3]

No one mentioned trick my truck??

jk; I remember I was in love with the show Overhaulin when it first aired. Like my parents and the whole family knew it was my show, and that said a lot as I almost NEVER watch TV. Chip Foose is also the reason why I didn't give up on sketching and back in middle school, my goal in life was to be JUST like him lol

Been catching up on wheeler dealers on youtube and they inspire me to do work! They pretty much take a r3v "mild-resto" approach to the cars they generally mod them tastefully (with exception to the blue Miata they did lol)

As for the rest, I'm gonna look them up haha Only heard of them so far...

Ah, he used to be the host of Trucks!

[dreamer420]

gearz is great.
I agree on overhaulin, the car always looks great until it comes to the wheels. big and chrome, the 2 things i dont want in a wheel.
wheeler dealers is OK, the guys are annoying though.
and I personally like 'chasing classic cars' some rare stuff on that show.
