anyone know whatever happened to any of cars and trucks from all those years of those overhaulin shows ..i go to shows all over ..dont see anything or even pics online ..wonder if those people drive them or cracked them up for all we know ... just curious

some make it to auction...plus with so many haters around they are in hiding ...plus 95% of the shows were in the cali area ...

the thing about those shows. same with pimp my ride. even though the work is free you still have to pay tax on everything... so think about it. if chip foose would have charged 50,000 to build that you have to pay what? 10%? thats still 5grand. plus parts. so sure it sounds awesome. but half those people didnt have money to restore it themself and they dont have money to pay the tax.  i looked into overhaulin  and decided no.  same with price is right. you see all the old ladys and college kids winning. yet they have to pay the tax on whatever they win. so its barely worth it unless you have $$$ to begin with.

but say thats true ..tax on those vehicles is chump change compared to what your getting ..at least a 30 grand and up vehicle ..to me its worth it ..pimp my ride is a different world compared to that ...    funny though pimpmy ride was on mtv ,,and the whole time west coast customs was actually doing nice work not on tv ..   they do need to kill that street customs berlin show ..unless they get some good customer projects

I'd have to think the people on Overhaulin probably take more care after they get their rides back. Most of them are adults trying to restore their cars and trucks but just couldnt afford it. With them you know theyre into it. Shows like Pimp My Ride its just a bunch of young ghetto people with crappy cars to begin with like a 1985 carolla. You know they never took care of their cars ever.

yeah pimp my ride was a joke. you know those cars are going to look like crap to begin with. if you have saran wrap as your 4 of your 5 windows chances are you aren't taking care of your ride. most of those are probably rolling the street in cali being unwashed and unwaxed since they were done... a lot of the stuff they did was really original but really over the top and unpractical. the stuff they do on overhaulin is awesome. completely transforming a car in a week is amazing. i know lots of people who can't even get their truck bagged in 6 months to multiple years due to terrible shops. to get top notch work for just a few grand in taxes is a steal. most of those people are at least moderate car enthusiasts who just don't have the cash to completely restore a car and probably don't mind paying it for what they are getting

^^ i agree, most of the overhaulin cars are cars that the people have had forever, or really wanted but then had kids or whatever and did'nt have the time.  I really wish that show would come back, i really dug it.  I liked it better the first few seasons when the owners were in the dark for the whole week, i really did'nt like it towards the end when they would do a quick prank then tell the owner that they were getting a new car/truck in a week. And i think it was awesome when they did Chip's 56, that was just too cool.
