I know it's a C2, but I never post in there...

"The A-Team take a '64 Corvette, and surprises await the owners."

I love that show, but It always makes me pray ill come home one day and find my vette gone getting overhauled. My luck it will get stolen, and ill be in denial, swearing chip foose has it.

It'll be interesting to see if they go the NCRS route, or the traditional "Overhaulin" (aka Pimp My Ride) method. Either way, some sparks are gonna fly!!!

If someone played that kind of practical joke on me- "stealing" my 'vette and then modding it without my input- I would castrate them.

Any predictions?

Lowered with flame paint job?
Or raised and turned into an off-road vehicle?

It sounds like, from the the brief description, that the owner may not be impressed.

I love watching these types of shows. I am hooked on "Pimp my ride". Of course, it is hit or miss on whether I like what they do, NTM, the reaction of the slimmies when they see their former chitbox. Overall, I like that show.

I also like that show even though some of the stuff they put in the cars is kind of foolish (Esspresso machine in the armrest?). I like how they seem to choose people who really need it haha.

Enjoy Overhaulin as well.

I'm gonna let the cat out of the bag. I took my '91 in for service yesterday at the shop where they did the work. They used Automotive Expertise in Huntington Beach, CA. This is Steve LuVISI shop. (Steve is the only person other than me who touches my Vettes.)

Steve showed me the Chip Foose sketches on the wall of a slammed '63 with multi-color paint. This was typical of a Chip Foose design. Chip does many Boyd Coddington car. Word is that the car has been seen at Donut Derelics. Steve said they also put an 320 hp Edlebrock (I think) engine in it. He said these things go together so fast, in a year the seams and repars will show through the paint.

THANKS! I've been waiting for a VETTE to be worked! even if it's a C2.

Maybe they'll surprise the owner, and viewers, by doing an NCRS resoration this time. Worse, it could be an NCRS top flight car about to be tweaked out.

Whatever happens, I'll check it out. Thanks for posting the time.

It has...I saw it a few weeks ago. Now I wish I had my camera that morning. I need to catch the show so I can see what it looked like before the work was done. It's a killer looking C2.

Have you notice they rarely touch the engine compartment. "Pimp my ride" is all show no go. They spend $30K and car and don't lift the hood. The cars probably use more oil than gas when they leave the shop! I'd let Chip Foose have my car in a heart beat. I'm sure it wouldn't come back with a fountain in place of my center arm rest.

I always joke to my friends about how next week those cars all throw rods from the kids thinking they can drive it like a street rod now.

Robbo

Yeah my wife and I were just talking about how they never get under there the last time we watched it. Seems like I've seen them doing stuff on a show or two but must not be much since they never show under the hood at the end.

haha...yeah the fountains..coffee maker...shoe racks...and 3 tvs...it all get's a little rediculous...

Umm, what were you guys talking about? A '64 what?

Schmucker

I would be pissed if anyone else but me did anything to my Corvette. They can take my '86 Crown Vic and make it faster as long as it doesn't get worse fuel economy. It might look cool on airbags

They are having a hard time stringing the owner along. Shes pretty smart.

PRNDL

I didnt see the beginning, but it would be pretty frigging hilarious if they stole a bowtie all original car and butchered it... the owner sees the finished product and just goes apesheet screaming and yelling at those frigging idiots!!!

you forking moroooons!! Her dad gave it to her 25 years ago? was he the original owner? you guys suck!!!
