About the die-cast, are there plans to take all of the actual cars and shrink them down to diecast size? Some of them are absolute dreams. Have you ever been asked to do a '57 Ford F100 on Overhaulin? They are kind of an "ugly duckling", but when built right they look as awesome as any 56!Ĭhip: Discovery Channel does the final picks, and if they choose a 57 on the show - and I believe a 57 has been submitted, I'll be glad to overhaul it.Įditor's Note: All cars are picked by Discovery Channel / TLC. I'd love to overhaul a big rig - it would be a huge job, but I'd love to do it someday.Ĥ. Ever consider doing a Big Rig on the show?Ĭhip: My original intent for Overhaulin' was to take cars, boats, planes, motorcycles, and transportation in general, but since there were other shows with motorcycles and trucks as the subject, the show was limited to cars. I can't tell you where yet, but we'll be knocking on people's doors saying "Your car's going to get Overhauled!"ģ. Between Seasons Two and Three, Discovery Channel took ownership of the show and decided to keep the "steals" to Southern California, but we are planning several shows where we will be traveling to different states in the near future. Is there any chance you are going to take your show (Overhaulin') on the road? Into other states, so your fans outside of California might get to see a car, Overhauled?Ĭhip: Our original plan was to take the show on the road in Season One and Two. Now, we've made friends with most of the local authorities and the various police departments work with us and have a lot of fun with the show.Ģ. On your show Overhaulin', how do you get the cooperation of the local authorities when you "steal" the cars? Has there been an occasion when you stole a car and the owner called the police?Ĭhip: In the early episodes of Overhaulin, Yes, they were reported to the police, and it took some "fast talking" to set things straight. It's a dream come true for me to be able to share replicas of my designs with my son and my fans. This has been a really exciting time creating the new Foose diecas tline with the JL Full Throttle Team. I always enjoy talking to the fans of the show and my work. It's an honor to talk with the folks at Joes Diecast Shack.
