I think the 442 guy was being tipped off by his wife as to what was going on. I may be wrong (I tend to channel surf) on this but after the guy was freaking out about his car the wife started coaching Foose about things. <snip>
The icing on the cake for me was when the guy noticed the Overhaulin' chick right off the bat. There hasn't been that many episodes for the guy to name her off the top of his head in 5 seconds. This is all just my opinion and I'm certainly not knocking Foose and his guys but I'll take the stock look any day of the week over a custom low-rider from the muscle car era.

I agree with your thought that the wife tipped-off her husband. She is on the TLC boards- spouting off at every post -- so she's definitely got a big mouth.
I actually edited her post I put up here because she added a buncha CAPS as she was "yelling" at everyone. A woman like that does NOT keep secrets.
I think the guy knew, because he was so emotional when the car was reported stolen, but then his reaction to seeing Courtney was somewhat suddued. (Although if I met Courtney my reaction would be anything but subdued... )
I also agree that while Foose is fast becoming a legend, I prefer a completely stock a-body or f-body car over anything chopped, lowered or otherwise bastardized.
