Host Courtney Hansen and famed hot-rod reconditioner Chip Foose uses a variety of clever ploys and scams to "steal" old cars and completely renovate them to their delight of their owners in Season One of Overhaulin'. In the debut episode, a high-schooler's hand-me-down 1988 Chevy pickup is magnificently restored--after it is "impounded" for parking tickets that the poor kid never knew he had. Subsequent installments include "Museum Worthy", essentially a guided tour of LA's Petersen Automotive Museum; "Surfer Kid", wherein the title character's 1977 El Camino is given "the works"; and "School's Out", focusing on the salvation of a rusty old 1958 Bel Air. In addition, at least one celebrity is "tricked" and his car "tricked out": Ian Ziering, who is pleasantly shocked when his 1968 Camaro is dolled up and slicked down! ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
