Default Foose

Hey guys, I would like to get a thread going to show support to get an Australian episode of "Overhaulin".
I would love to see Chip Foose work his magic on someones Australian Ford Falcon or FPV. (or my Escape:->) But i must admit I would like to see a "Foosed" Falcon.

For those of you that do not know the show, its on Foxtel. It kinda like a tasteful version of "Pimp my Ride".
Chip Foose is the absolute mistro at what he does. Here is a link for you.

http://www.overhaulin.com/home.asp

Show your support and add a message to this thread so we can send it to him and hopefully get him to do an Australian episode.

I would love him to finish off my EA, 7 days for a rebuild, its taking me 7 years to finish it ........... LOL

pimp-my-ride is all about show and not go in most cases, let alone full ground up rebuild.

overhaullin' is way better, full body work, engine, chassis, interior.

You can't compare the 2 even remotely.

mate i have been telling everyone they should do my xe... seeing as i have no money for it lol
i would love to see it, maybe charcoal in colour, or dark candy apple red, with nascar block, individual throttle efi set up, droptank and rollcage, and some of his one off deep dish rims...
hell even just some billet rims...
he is definitely good at what he does, one has to wonder how you line yourself up for a job like that, it cant just be being good at your job...

It'd have to be old-skool Foose Falcon though ... or LTD ... something along those lines ... nothing modern.
