Boyd seems like a dink, his shows all seem the same, cars aren't ones you and I drive, and it's better now they don't have Bluebear or whatever that jerk's name was, but I'll flip past it to see what else is on first. The best part of the show is seeing how well they "bleep" out Dwayne's swearing.Overhaulin gets a little corney with the stories about how the person's car was stolen or whatever, but they're fixing up mainly early 70's muscle cars ( ), and they've got that nice looking girl on there. Overhaulin gets my vote.

The drama crap on AHR gets old plus i can't stand Boyd. He's a whiney *****, no wonder Chip left his shop to do his own things, he's way more talented than Boyd could hope to be.

PICK--You hit that one right on the head! Boyd is a arrogant touch-hole.

in my opinion, overhaulin' is much more entertaining, and much more approachable. american hotrod just seems like an attempt to cash in on the popularity of american chopper with a product other than motorcycles (what's the other one? the one with milwaukee iron? those guys have way more personality than boyd's crew).

I have to say Overhaulin'. I loved American Hotrod right up until Charlie left. At that point I realized what a ponce Boyd is. That said, Overhaulin' isn't perfect. For one, the girl looks and acts like my ex-girlfriend. But also, I get kind of tired of the same old routine when they take the car. It's almost as if they could show a little less of the story and more of the work on the car. Still, Chip Foose is my hero. I think his work is amazing and that's the main reason I watch.

I can't stand boyd. How would you like to pay the BIG BUCKS for one of his rods then watch the show and see how everything was hurried along? I would be embarrassed.On the other hand Chip Foose has real talent in design, craftsmanship and he is a great build team leader. I would love to own any of his creations.

Overhaulin' all the way! The girl's dad was owner of the Brainerd International Speedway and a drag race champion for many years.She was helping her dad work on his cars since she was 12. So , I'm sure she knows a little something about cars. But I doubt she does much with them now.

Overhaulin is waaaay better than American Hotrod.Boyd Coddington is an idiot and the guys that work there never seen to know what they're doing and see very unprofessional, imo.Chip Foose is way more talented
