Overhaulin Roadster
One of my favorite shows is
Overhaulin with Chip Foose in the Discovery Channel. This
is Season 5 Episode 7 for the SEMA show.
I like this car for a wide variety of reasons. For one thing I have one and two because of
the subtle [ ... well, removing the roof of the car and making a 2 door from a 4 door isn't exactly
subtle... ] changes done on the car and trim in general. Many of these mods are all up my alley and
similar to my own project.
Features Included:
- Color Combination Painted by Lanzini
- Converted from a 4-door to a 2-door
- Pinstriping by Tom Kelly & Skratch
- New Ford Racing Motor
- Foose Edition Stereo System
- 100% Frame Off Build
- Air Ride Suspension
Custom Mods I liked:
- Grille bar shortened to bring it inside the grille opening and eliminating the center ornament. Full grille opening trim.
- Chevy centers in the taillight lenses.
- Simple tutone steel wheels with trim rings and small hubcaps.
- Small kick up in the side moulding.
- Keeping the stock dash and Skydome speedo intact.
- Moving the filler into the trunk from the real tailpan.
