Another Overhaulin car

Another Overhaulin car

Last night, they ran an episode where they fixed up a newer model mustang.....the end result turned out pretty cool....
Overhaulin

bleh, nothin special...

that looks to be a big A$$ turbo under the hood though looks dont know if it is or no though

Watched this episode last night. Pretty cool. I like it alot, very clean. Looks like OEM, yet, not OEM.

chip foose is da man!!

No turbo, they supercharged it though. Upped the power to 425 I think they said. Katzkin seats etc. It was actually pretty nice.

my brother in law's brother works for ford, he works in detroit, something along the lines of shifter/clutch design.
he gets to bring home awesome cars. he brought home an 07 shelby cobra gt 500 mustang...you know, the supercharged one with like 500+ hp. it was the real deal, it had manufacturer plates, and a big red button on the dash to kill the electrical if something goes wrong. that car pulled so hard i almost crapped myself. the stripes had the wrong places for the windsheild washers cut in them. it was missing the vents that go on the hood. it was missing the shelby logo on the back also. 19" wheels, amazing car. i want one.

a couple of weeks later he brought home the same car, but the convertible version. some dude screwed it up at the test track, second gear had a bad synchro, so he had to double clutch it to get into second, so he didn't get to do anything crazy. this one seemed complete, except that it lacked the radio and still had the red "
oh crap" button.

two cars i didn't get to see that he brought home was a ford f150? harley davidson edition, with a big lift kit on it
oh yeah, he brought home the ford GT....usually when he brings the cars home, the people in the neighborhood kinda just notice and watch a little from a distance, when he brought this home, he had to be careful pulling into the driveway because of low clearance, by the time he parked it, he had a group of 10 people looking over the car. i guess it's like 43" high or something...i'm jealous i wish i had pics, but he isn't allowed for the mustang

That is awesome! I wish I had a job like that

He is the man. I wish I can draw as good as him.

I like it more than pimp my ride. PMR is just rice it out, or so called "pimping". They just fix up the int and ext to make it look nice. But in overhauling, they actually restore the car. That makes their car more reliable than the Pimp My Ride ones. Plus, they do it the tuner way.

Apparently the guys at West Coast Customz don't have much say in the PMR vehicles they get. MTV tells them what they want in it and what to do with it, hence not fixing the engine but making LAY Z KAY: They just fix up the int and ext to make it look nice. But in overhauling, they actually restore the car. That makes their car more reliable than the Pimp My Ride ones. Plus, they do it the tuner way.

I don't know if WCC actually does good engine work but we can all agree that they do a pretty good job of pimpin' out the interior and exterior of the car.

Chip Foose or Boyd Coddington, that is the question.

you havent been here for the debates on this subject. some of us feel very strongly on what WCC does to those poor misguided cars.. BTW welcome to the board... please introduce your self...

someone take there corolla to overhaulin...

I dont get it. What's wrong with tuning a new car??

nothing wrong with tuning a new car... just the original premise of that show was to take old cars that the owners had no time to actually make cool and basically do it for them...
