Overhaulin was like the funny friend of yours that hung around waaaaaay too long and wore out his welcome. It started off well except for a few things, mainly that stuff was being done to the Chip Foose standard, not the owners of the cars. I’d be pissed if my car came back all pimped out with 20 series tires on obscenely huge wheels and paint that looked good on camera but horrible up close. I’ve seen a couple of their cars up close and the work was crap.
Their routine of the car being “stolen” and secretly fixed up would be pretty upsetting to the owners if it were actually played out that way. The one hour episodes gave some people the unrealistic belief that a shell of a car could be reassembled and finished in just a few days. EVERY car guy I know looked at these car build shows knowing that they were bullshit.
Roadkill showed real setbacks that we all have dealt with.
