Hi Everyone! Just thought I'd let you know that my brother Glenn's episode (62 Belair) is supposed to air tonight on TLC...I'm really looking forward to watching it!
love the 62 belair. i usually check it out when they have something cool on there. it's sucks they don't overhaul cars on the east coast

Hi Samantha, how does the show work? Is it possible that the owner getting "tricked" just pretends he/she doesn't realize they are gettin' overhauled and that their friend or spouse setting up the prank told them before hand? Either way congrats to your lucky azz brother .
59Elky...my brother had no idea he was being tricked...he honestly thought his car had been stolen. His wife arranged the whole thing...and she really kept it under wraps, none of the rest of the family had any idea. I didn't find out until the night my brother finally saw his car..."finished". He called me about 11pm after the "wrap party"...and I thought he was pulling my leg. He was BEYOND happy...almost hysterical! haha He's a good guy...I'm really happy for him.
hey Samantha thanks for the info. I always wondered how it all worked out.So will he get to enjoy the car and cruise or will it be taken away from him temporarily to be displayed throughout the US for 1 year? That would really stink because he would miss it.I know I would.
I'm not supposed to give away how the car "looks" until after the episode airs (sorry!). My brother will actually get the car, right after the episode has aired. The only thing they asked of him was if he would be willing to attend some upcoming car shows with the other Overhaulin people/cars.
So do they give him a rental or something in the meantime? Looks like for some of those people, the car that got Overhauled was their only car.
Hell yeah! Not my exact car, but pretty damn close! They better not billet the f@cker out and make it look like a Chingy video extra- too many of those damn cars on the road
yeah hope not.. Foose usually does good with the old cars. he'll give it a subtle look and make some one-off retro style wheels for it.
Foose has a good eye, he`s a very classy guy and your brother is a very lucky guy.....I swelled up a tear myself!! The car looks great!!
did anyone else notice the car was a Belaier but had an Impala trunklid (extra tailight on each side)
Good eye Willowbilly...you are right about the trunk lid. I have to admit...the show made me CRY! haha I loved it!
Why didn't Foose let Glen drive it outta there? When you talk to your bro, ask him that for me. I gots to know!
I dug the car xept big rims and why oh whhhhy does Foose gotta shave every damn door handle .anybody notice'Uncle Jesse'in the buildup scenes LOL seriously that dude was the spitting image of the late Denver Pyle.
that was probably the best car theyve done yet the only thing i would have changed would be skinny whites, bellflower tips, and i would have also nosed it but it still looks real cool congrats
Sam, that was cool, your bro sounds like a Saint. THanks for the FYI. Damn that car was cool when done.

yes, it was a very good episode! Pretty soon the show is going to catch on an no one will be able to get tricked any more. Your brother knew Foose right away when they brought him out.
