'68 442 on Overhaulin'

[All American Racer]

It's on the Discovery Channel. I think it's right after American Chopper. American Chopper is another great show but if you watch the new episodes and then catch an old episode - it's amazing how many "Snap-On" tools showed up. Those guys have pallets of tool boxes hanging around in there.

What else did they do to the 442?

[Jeff H]

I think the 442 came out looking great. I like restored original cars and I also like customized cars. The show is all about the sponsors getting to show off their goods and that's pretty cool.

HELLO GOAT.

ITS THE OVERHAULIN SPOUTY BIG MOUTH WHOM YOU OFFENDED. Thanks

QUOTE FROM GOAT: "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... )"

MAY I SPOUT SINCE I HAVE A BIG MOUTH??? Too bad, gonna anyhow.
FIRST Thanks for being so two faced. Saying I spout off on every post on that other website. OKAY, I WILL GIVE YOU THAT (yell, yell). Sorry, I didnt know all caps were yelling. Kinda lame if you ask me. I see you have posted WELL OVER 100 posts here. Hmmmmm... could it be? You like to chat when your bored? Why are you so bored? Are you only human? And social at that? I dont see the crime.

SECOND: My husband did not know. Is there anything you or anyone would like to ask me regarding this show? In case you didnt notice, I put up my dukes on that board when people bash the show. COULD IT BE BECAUSE I AM GRATEFUL? What a sin.

THIRD: Yes, my husband recognized Courtney. Because she introduced herself as COURTNEY HANSEN. He knew her as Courtney on the show and although that didnt register that very second, she pointed at the OVERHAULIN patch on her shirt which then made him realize. I told the producers not to use Chris or Courtney in any pranks because my husband would have recognized her for sure.

Lots more goes on that you dont know. They edit it and make it short. The two episode of the pranks at my neighbors house were about 20 minutes long each. Audio problems caused the lack of good footage. AGAIN... in the lobby where he was told he was Overhauled, they went rounds for a lot longer before Courtney came out. My husband was calling that guy host a FREAKING THIS AND AHOLE THAT when he left for longer then half a second in reality to go get his supervisor COURTNEY. AGAIN... audio problems caused lack of other footage. So it really looked chopped up.

The phone call to his best friend Brian appeared about 60 seconds. It was a 30 minute phone call with plenty of whining. I dont know why they was edited the way it was.

Yes, here I am again defending the show that changed our lives. I noticed you wrote some nice things but then I noticed you changed your tone. Is it a crime to talk and use a message board? Your here, your there (on the other msg board). Its apparent to me you like to chat to strangers also. WHOOPIE. I dont think we should burn in hell for it.

Sure I have a big mouth. Woman like me dont keep secrets. BUT KEEPING THIS ONE GAVE ME MAJOR ANXIETY. YES, MY BRAIN FORGOT TO SHUT IT DOWN AND I AM CURRENTLY ON ANXIETY MEDICATION because this whole experience was so overwhelming and way more then I THOUGHT I COULD HANDLE. Living a lie and keeping it from your spouse of almost 20 years (whom I share everything with) was not easy. Its still not easy. This has affected us both.

PEACE.

For the record... I requested bucket seats. I did not request a new motor. I think all the Chevy cars got new ones because they needed them and they were available. Are there new 455 Olds motors out there? I didnt think so. I told them they could take the top off. I knew they would. My husband recognized Courtney after SHE INTRODUCED HERSELF (he then repeats her name), she also pointed to the patch on her shirt that said OVERHAULIN". What went on in that lobby was edited big time. Audo problems kept them from using much of their footage.

Just thought you might find that all informative. My husband did not know about this. Yes I am here because I felt a wee bit offended by your comments. Just wanted you to hear it from the source. No crime committed here. Please dont damn me to hell.

I watched the 442 epsidode of "Overhaulin' twice now and I apologize, but I don't remember your name.

Even when you apologize for not knowing about using CAPS, you are still using them.
Anyone who reads your posts will read into them as "angry" because of this over-use of caps, so of course, you're gonna come across as "spoutin' off".
In your posts here, and in your posts at TLC, you seem to be taking defensive posturing to the extreme, when there's no real need to do so. Most people seem very happy with the "442" epsisode and "Overhaulin" in general. BTW: If you re-read the TLC posts, I was the guy defending the show and Courtney... and your husband.

Sorry, but the use of caps is simple & elementary Internet protocol, Madam.

Anyway, understand that I certainly did not mean to offend, and I think your husband's car came out fantastic (as I mentioned on both boards).

So welcome to the Yenko boards... and if you want to come across as a calm, collected individual, simply drop all those caps. (You can use punctuation and emoticons to get your point across... calmly.)


Spoutin' back atcha,

I'm sure you can get a rebuilt crate motor for any North American car with a phone call.

ALLCAPS... to me is like bolding the word. Emphasizing. Yelling maybe. But more like making things clear. Okay fine if its an internet manners thing. I'll give you that. Just keep one thing in mind when thinking of me... I have only gotten snotty with people who are being rude or who could possibly hurt someones feelings. I NEVER spoute off negative unless someone DOES IT FIRST. Maybe you dont have any feelings, but making a point can be done in a little more of a respectful way (yes this goes for me too). Some people just dont GET IT ya know. I just feel the world could use a FEW less rude folks. Starting with yourself. Bet you never thought Id stumble on to this board. My husband and I were reading what you were laying down last night just shaking our heads. People that dont even know us or what happened creating their own storyline. Amazing. I just needed to be heard. I wish you the happiest day and I am not here to be public enemy #1. Honest. You hurt my one feeling. (I dont have too many). But I am over now. Thanks for coming down to my level. We are all just human and its obvious we BOTH like to chit chat. NO CRIME THERE RIGHT????

LET ME GET MY POINT ACROSS WITH ICONS...

Have a great day

[Steve_Hoog]

Lets see, how does some one refer to situations like this? "Train Wreck", thank God it's not over a Pontiac this time.

[All American Racer]

Dear 442, I'm sorry if feelings were hurt because it may have been my comments that started all that. You have to realize that we (as onlookers) are only privy to the 60 minutes that gets aired. Although there is probably a week of taping for each show the average joe only sees an hour. Therefore, we have to make decisions about what is going on based on what little we see. Apparently, this is not always accurate. I can tell you that in the short time I've been hanging around this place I have encountered nothing but good folks and if you stick around I'm sure you will see the same. Also, is that Overhaulin' chick as hot in person as she is on TV? Sincerely, Marc
