Has anyone had an fbody done by any of the big names in the custom car world? Pics and/or storys please.

 

if you are talkin boyd coddington or mr. foose or any of those builders i am guessing they only specialise in custom hot rods old cars classics i am guessing but i could be wrong

 

That's what they need on tv. Some type of show where all they do is all the "modern muscle". Know what I mean? Firebird, Camaro, Mustang, GN, Regal etc...

 

:werd:

 

Chip Foose did a 1st gen Camaro in one of his shows. but most of us dont have the money they do to have a pro to so our cars.

 

i applied for the horsepower tv viewer build thing, obviously didnt get it , anybody else send in for that?

 

I would not if they came and stole one of my cars and redid it.That would be sweettttttttttttttttttttt.

 

I haven't seen that show (the one where they take your car and customize it), but if someone tried to take my car...blood would be shed. I know what I want my car to end up like and I would be royally pissed if someone else did it. thats just my opinion. I did see a horsepower tv where they did do a third gen (a convertable I think) I can't remember what they did with it though, I think it was a turbo or somthing. anyway sorry if this isn't excatly on topic.

 

you are talking about "OverHaulin"

 

I'm not sure what its called (I can't afford fancy things like cable/sat) I've just seen it on commercials. still I maintain my position

 

i have yet to see anything beyond something like chevy high performance or that such where edelbrock or someone like tpis comes in and does something special for their feature car.

beyond having a few major shops have their hand in my own i would love to see someone like troy or chip make their own version of a thirdgen.

 

I would like to see them do a third gen, make them prove their reputation's and come up with something new. People on these boards have some sweet rides and i bet the pro's would have a hard time topping quite a few of them.

 

haha well "Pimp My Ride" with MTV did an 81 Trans Am

i HATE it. especially the chandelier they put over the dome light.

 

yea it was pretty tacky...morons.. not to mention the coffee maker

 

yeah an they ruined that trans am sucks big time

 

Unfortunately I think the marketing folks think that the demographic for most of these shows is the punk kid (no offense intended toward you camaro drivin punk kids ) with too much money to put into his honda. Y'know, the "tuner" crowd.

Whatever. Like I don't "tune" my carb monthly? I'd rather see some total frame-offs of classic muscle cars and build-ups of serious sports cars (ours included).
