Overhaulin' A100 Van

My '66 Dodge A100 got chosen for an upcoming episode of Overhaulin'!

My wife went to the overhaulin.tv site and applied to have my van Overhauled. They got back to her fairly quickly, from what I am told. And they have been conniving for weeks now. The format of the show this season is different from the past, in that I know where my van is. It's almost worse though, because I cannot think about anything else!

As for when they got my A100, last Sunday, I can't give up what happened -but I will say this: Chris Jacobs, the co-host of the show, got me GOOD! It will be VERY entertaining to watch and my reaction is raw and real. I'd be interested in reading all of your responses when it airs (not until December). But keep in mind, when you watch, the Producers asked my wife to be sure I didn't have access to any weapons at the time they came to get my van.

And though I get the van back in 6 weeks I can't post pictures until after the episode is broadcast.
However, those of you near the San Fernando Valley may hear stories about a sick A100 cruising around L.A. in the near future!

HolyCrap!

Gratz on your van getting chosen I am sure it will turn out great bro

  

Congrats! Wish they would take that show on the road to other states ;-).

Very cool!!!

BTW...u know when that episode is gonna air?

He said December

Were there costs involved to have them update your van ? I went to the website years ago, seemed there were some heavy fees involved (at that time )

That's flippin sweet.  Congrats.  Looking forward to the episode and hearing about the experience.

Where are the BEFORE pics?   

Cool and congrats!

That's like everyone's Dream!!! Congrats and I can't wait to see what magic they do!

Congrats on getting your van on the show. They do awesome work and I'm sure you will be very happy when you get her back.  

Thanks to all of you. I have to admit it's like a dream come true...winning the automotive lottery. And it does suck for people in other parts of the country. I'm pretty sure I was chosen because I live close to their shop.
I'm also glad that they chose a vintage van. I'd be happy to watch an episode of Overhaulin' that featured an older van. It seems like classic cars always take center stage and we're the fanatics off on our own.

No fees were involved...Man, I wish I could tell you what happened when they took the van, it's funny now, in hindsight. It'll definitely make for good tv.

I was told the episode will air in December, so far that's all I know. I'll post an update when I find out the date.

It'll be GREAT exposure for Vintage Vans for sure!! Congrats again but man, it's gonna be real hard to wait until December to see the show!! I guess we have to look at it like getting a Christmas present! You lucky son of a %$#@!)(*&!!!   

kick azzzzzz

Trust me I realize I am one lucky S.O.B., the sad part is I had a lot of good money in that van already. Edelbrock intake/carb, Mallory ignition, Hedman Hedders, Duel Flowmasters...Most of that was only a year old. But everything else on the van was between 40-47 years old.
I wish I could get that stuff back and just give it to someone else!

Congrats man! Totally like a dream come true!!! I'm very jealous, but very happy for you. Can't wait to see the episode! Chip Foose does some awesome stuff...

i'm very happy for you, that is a dream come true, cant wait to see it ,,,

Thanks guys!

Yeah it's killing me to know nothing about the build he's going to do. I, literally, lay awake at night wondering how it will come out. I mean this is my daily driver too.

My wife knows, but she won't tell me anything about the design she chose.

Awesome news to say the least! Cannot wait to see it. Congrats man!

wow very nice job goes to your wife, !!! you owe her big time..

Congratulations farrellsx6, that is great for you.

I would be a little nervous too. I guess the one thing you can do is to instruct your wife to tell Overhaulin-crew the things that you like. I think you have already thought about that. You said that you will get it back after six weeks. Is that the normal build time for their projects or is there any "normal" to the time? They seem to do a variety of vehicles in the show.

WOW CONGRATS.!!!..You hit the VANNING LOTTERY...Chip Foose is one of the BEST my wife has been signing up for those contest to get one of our Van's in for Years..!!!.Can't wait to see the show...   ...Mention VV when they revel it..That's Every Vanners Dream.!!!......Keep Us Posted........You have a AWESOME Wife give her a HUG for all the VANNER'S......Once you see it you will forget about all the parts you put on....It would be VERY COOL if You and your Wife had a VV T Shirt' on for the revealing on T.V. ..  ...

Yes that would give the site, National coverage, so happy 1 of our members is getting the chance of a life time.

CONGRATS ON THE "OVERHAUL"! THAT IS SO KOOL.
CANT WAIT TO SEE THE RESULTS. I HAVE BEEN A FAN OF FOOSE'S FOR A LONG TIME. HAD THE PLEASURE MEETING HIM AT THE U.S. NATIONALS IN INDY SEVERAL YEARS AGO. WHAT A GREAT GUY!!

If Chip is doing it you know it will be Bad A$$
