Your 15 minutes of fame await: Overhaulin' accepting apps
NOTE: DO NOT SENT REQUESTS TO GET ON OVERHAULIN' TO AUTOBLOG! We don't have anything to do with the show, so while we'd like to help you get your cars fixed up, we can't... Go to Chip Foose's website here http://www.chipfoose.com/OverhaulinApplication/
Overhaulin', the car customization show that's less pimp and more ride, is looking for new cars to overhaul. If you know someone with a good clunker and a great story, you can help them get to the bright lights in the big smoke. This year, the show will accept applications from folks outside of Southern California, which means that a GTO rusting in a Michigan shed even has a chance at glory. The catch: you can't nominate yourself. Time to start calling in favors, eh?

Ok Mike so you are saying that people can "loan" YOUR car and destroy it utterly (yes foose Destroys more cars than all traffic accidents put together) if a friend or family member says its okay.

you guys trashing what chip or the show does are stupid, all they do is fix up a car that is going to rust away and be scrapped eventually in a manor that suits the person they got it from if someone sued for that they would deserve to be stripped of all they own and given a pinto to drive money hungry whiners

Overhaulin' is a great car show. They do great work and they do it to bless people. It's a great show to watch. They still accept applications for the show at http://www.chipfoose.com and if you are interested in discussing the show, check out http://www.overhaulinforums.com. It's a growing community of fans.

I have what can only be a desperate plea for help. No doubt everyone has heard about the record flooding in Iowa, My uncles 66 nova was in Palo, just before Cedar Rapids, no one had even the slightest idea but the whole town became submurged in 4 feet of water, the nova was in his garage on a trailer, they lost everything in their house. there was gas, oil... you name it, it was in the water contaminating everything. he has been working on this nova for the last 7 years. I took it upon myself to come to his aid in storing it and doing what ever I can to save it. I am just wondering if anyone can help

this is a desperate plea for help. no doubt everyone has heard about the record flooding that has occured in Iowa. My uncle lives in Palo just north of ceder rapids, no one had any idea what would happen, but the town was submerged in 4 feet of water. he lost everything in the house due to all the mud, oil, gas... you name it, it was in the water. his 66 chevy II was in the garage during this on a trailer and had water in it up to the windows. He has been working on this car for the last 7 years, and I can't let it go out like that so I took it upon myself to try and save it because he has to worry about his house. Is there anyone that can help me.

Good day friends of Overhaulin, I would like to know whether it is possible to achieve a dream of my husband who is changing his story cart which is very significant for us because it made us realize the dream cherished by most any family that after 10 years have achieved our first baby and she is 9 years.
For us the car is a great memory and what we used to go to our work, but as it is old can not be required, therefore, has a regular engine, the paint burned, but it has never crashed a few details, the dreams of putting wheels Luxury a bigger engine and automatic box. this is a ford steed model 86, If you could help me to give him the surprise of my husband and daughters, and therefore will never forget him kindly. We live in Venezuela and you should know that in our country it is difficult to achieve a vehicle under the conditions that you modify it is very expensive and we do not have the resources to do so, we are located in Lara state, county Bobare Iribarren, Venezuela
My email is noraidamaro@yahoo.com.mx

I have my wife who has a 1989 Delta 88 in good running condition. It is a 20 year old car so that makes it a classic doesn't it. She would love to get her ride pimped and I would like to get her on the show.
She is a mother of three who has been working very hard all of her life until she got laid off a couple of years ago. She had purchased a new graduation car that we had to give back after she lost her job. She went and bought this car and wants to fix it up, but does not have the money. This car is worth it too because it does run very well, but needs a little tender loving care.

hola.los admiramos! se me ocurrio que podrian ayudar a mi novio.tiene varias camionetas f100, que compro con esfuerzo para ayudar a sus hermanos y poder trabajar todos, ya que son cultivadores y venden plantas.el se preocupa por cada cosa que le sucede a su familia y seres queridos en forma totalmente humilde y desinteresada.y nosotros no alcanzamos a compensar todo su apoyo, cariño y atencion.siempre contamos con el.me gustaria que la camioneta que mas quiere,por haber sido la primera que compro, estuvierra a la altura de sus necesidades, como tener un aire acondicionadado y una radio.si quieren les enviare fotos.el los mira siempre y les tiene un gran cariño,dice que foos es lo mas.y siempre cuenta lo que le gustaria hacerle a sus camionetas.QUE POSIBILIDADES HAY DE ARREGLAR UNA PARA EL? muchas gracias por toda respuesta!mis saludos a todo el equipo y mis respetos! silvia de argentina
