Powerblocktv.com is created for TLC Network (Spike TV) which resembles “American Chopper“. The cars are designed by Chip Foose and co-host Chris Jacobs. Identical to “Pimp my Ride” Power Block, nominates a unknown suspect to have an “Overhauled” by their family or friends. The car, normally isn’t pretty and has been though some ware and tear. A few of the problems are but not limited to: Stolen (Common Show Type), Impounded by police, and Found or donated to PowerBlocktv.com. The goal of the show is to have a weekly custom redone hotrod. Powerblock.tv caps with the surprise of reuniting the owner and the newly pimped hotrod. When remodeling cars the designers make sure not to choose from your typical hybrid or gas saver. A recent episode featured a Pontiac GTO owned by Lance Armstrong in Texas. Each model is done differently and has the flavor of the owner and their personal traits.
An extra bonus is the Host of the show Courtney Hansen (born in Los Angeles and raised from Orono, Minnesota a 29-years-old). The actress is an upcoming star in the automotive world, broadcast personality, columnist, and model. She starred on broadcast and shows such as: Dodge (spokesperson), Travel channel’s Killer Golf , and the largest gig Powerblocktv on TLC.
