She sure makes it easy to watch!

I am more conservative paint wise etc, but it is cool seeing these cars get fixed up.

When there not dancin around like jack asses.

Same here too on the paint, some of the cars do come out nice though where its not too flashy.

I would love to see someone submit there GN or T-type to the show for an overhaulin. I know there out there in rough shape, anyone?

The pranks are a little much sometimes and Chris is too much of a pretty boy, but it's overall a good show. Sometimes I think the wheels they use are just too damned big. They really do well on older cars, not so much of a fan of what they have done to more modern trucks. All the stuff they have done to the various 70s cars they have overhauled has been great.

I too have been wondering how well they would do overhauling a T-Type or GN. I can't see a GN with anything other than black on it though.

I'd have no problem handing my car over to Foose and letting him have free reign. My GN has over 200k miles on it, so whatever they did would be better than what I have now. I would want a turbo buick guru on the team if they decided to mess with the drivetrain, but it the drivetrain is ok, they just need to make it look pretty.

Oh yeah, and courtney is a hottie!!

I don't think a three inch downpipe would impress Courtney.

My wife spoke to the guys who do this show and almost got my car on the show, but the wife said no after they wanted to do ANYTHING to the car. She knew I would have a fit if they painted it purple or pulled out the wimpy v6 for a chevy small block. I love her for thinking of me. If I only had that 65 Impala ss 396 I sold a few years ago

Cool show for sure.

I always love the part when the host bimbo says "now WE are going to repaint the car", or "now WE are going to pull the engine". "We" meaning the guys I guess. As if she does anything except stand around, paint her nails and wait for a call on her cell to see if her agent found her a better gig.

Check out the link to her website... she has a bunch of pics on there getting dirty, sanding cars etc.

Her family used to own a race track in Minnesota.

I don't think she wants a down pipe.I would say she likes a UP pipe.Thanks

That is odd because they have hauled more than a few of their projects away on a flatbed. There was that Corvette that was mired under a ton of crap inside a garage and they pulled that thing out and hauled it away.

I can't see giving a GN or TTA to them because the cars are unique for their interiors and colors so why would you want to change them? You wouldn't really. A TTA is white and a GN is black. I suppose if the car was just trashed and it wasn't worth keeping the existing paint and interior you could give it over and let them have their way with it, but I'd be more comfortable giving them a T-Type. It seems like they go out of their way to try and find the right thing to do for the person who owns the car though. Like with Lance Armstrong's car they just painted it black and gave it a new interior, nothing too crazy.

And I have to think that they would know that the GN or TTA doesn't need a Chevy small block replacement engine. They would have to call in someone who knows turbo engines to do a rebuild or modify the thing with a stage engine.
