Dennis always loved his ‘69 Pontiac Firebird. He was very upset when it was stolen. He had no idea that it was being fully reinvented at Hot Rod Car Craft, with his girlfriend Stephanie playing the inside with Overhaulin’. During that difficult week for Dennis, Overhaulin’ pranked-up a scheme that enlisted the Firebird owner into joining the Neighborhood Watch. Also joining the Watch: a neighborhood bagman played by Chris.
Ivan’s the mark, not knowing his Nova from 1970 is leaving his parents’ property and moving to Classic Industries, where Overhaulin’ will work with his wife, Shannon. She’ll be an insider for a week of building and pranking. Chip Foose gets a well-earned vacation for the first part of the build, but he does the design ahead of time and returns by the end of the build to add his one-of-a-kind details to the car. When Chip's gone, his dad Sam Foose assumes the role as Captain of the build team.
Deputy Sheriff Mike more than loves his 1965 T-Bird; it was his father's treasure and he is beyond sentimental about the ride. His wife Stephanie works as an insider for Overhaulin' as Chris, Chip and the team at ACS grab the Thunderbird and decide to make the hardtop into a roadster. It's a big job if you have a while to pull it off; it's sheer madness to try in a week. But never underestimate the drive of Foose and the A-Team.
Chip Foose and team overhaul Tyson's 1956 Bel Air. Tyson took shop classes trying to learn how to restore his Bel Air. His mother set him up at Overhaulin. The work was very slow forthcoming and she wanted to help him out. The Bel Air was so rusted that Chip had to find another 56 to swap bodies. The second one wasn't much better. Finally it took 3 bodies to get one perfect machine.
