Default 64 vette on TLC tonight: Overhaulin

Starts at 9:00 Eastern. Then, there is Million Dollar Motors next at 10 which is about ultimate autos; should be good also!

Gotta go to work. Gonna miss this one. I think this is the episode about the one they have to clean the garage out just so they can get the car out of the garage. Now that is one messy garage.

I missed that part. I wondered why she wasn't the one starting the engine up.

What cracked me up was her husband repeatedly saying "She loves that car, "She loves that car, that car means everything to her. She'd die if anything happened." and it was 15 years or so since she drove the car.

I didn't see the show first time around. I'm glad they replayed it.

I missed it the first time, but I taped it last night. I just hope they don't take a ride like that and really "pimp" it out.

name of the place that did the work??? Foose design, stichcraft, edelbrock, etc. are all in southern california.

And why doesn't anyone have a 1 seater, center front seat in a c3? That Mclaren is absoutely amazing. Wouldn't mind having the enzo either, but I don't know if i could stand knowing that the mclaren can out acclerate it up to 60mph by a whole tenth of a second.

...Might have something to do with that pesky engine, transmission, and driveshaft. The McLaren is mid engine.

The place is called Automotive Expertise Unlimited and it's located in Huntington Beach, CA...I'm taking my '70 to him (Steve LuVisi) tomorrow to get the transmission worked on. I can't wait to see what other Vettes he has in the shop

I saw it...

I'm POSITIVE I saw a picture of that car in that garage with the green plastic container above it on here. Am I day dreaming?

I about fell out of my seat, "I've SEEN THAT car before!"
