If your car was picked to be on Overhaulin' what would you hope that Chip Foose would design for your car, as far as Engine, paint scheme and all that goes.

upgrade to a supercharger, add some ghost flames, new spoiler, wheels, and freshen the interior. A new sound system would be cool, but would not want a whole bunch of stuff in there that it would weigh so much

I'd pass on it severely. I hate chip foose's designs on pretty much everything. Wouldn't let that dude ruin my car.

I don't like the wheels he makes. But I'd love for him to drop a forged 4.6 in my car with a twin screw and a T56. That would make me pretty happy lol

Whatever he wants! I personally love his work and I am sure I would love whatever he would do to my car.

I haven't seen a body kit that I like better than the Stock Cobra front end. If he was goign to do something to the body custom, I'd say make a cool set of side scoop covers, to mimic the classic Shelbys. I would also like something done with the rear, either a spoiler of something new with the tailights...maybe make them on panel with the 3 banks in it.

As far as paint goes, I'd like to see a twist on the classic White car with blue stripes. Something that looks good on this body.

INterior I'd love a big upgrade. Some fresh 2003-2004 style cobra seats with gray inserts, or something similar. I wouldn't mind some brushed aluminum treament on the dash and console area to make it, again, resemble the classic shelbys.

Big upgrade to the suspension and handling ability to handle that new shelby motor. haha

Dreams.

None of that enormous wheel, Pro Touring stuff for my Cobra.

It's a different story if we're talking about a vintage Lincoln or Caddy.

I don't mind his stuff, but I would not let him touch my car. If I wanted someone else to build it for me...I'd send it to someone else to build it for me.
