Day 5: Back From Paint


Behind The Scenes At Overhaulin Ford Racing Performance Parts Engine
The word is out on the set that the car is on its way back from paint. Everyone is readying their work from the past two days to keep the progress rolling the second the car enters the building. Jesse Kershaw from Ford Racing Performance Parts works on the Boss 302 crate engine, only the second one built and the first to be put in a car. The timing cover and oil pan are swapped out for other parts to fit the SportsRoof.		 Behind The Scenes At Overhaulin 1970 Ford Mustang
The paint is fresh, and the team prepairs for the task that lay before them. They roll the car into the shop and begin work immediately, swarming the car like bees. The maintain precaution for the paint's delicate state.		 Behind The Scenes At Overhaulin Car Is Rolling

Behind The Scenes At Overhaulin 3M Painters Tape To Protect The Car
The car has barely stopped rolling, and A-team member Andreas Somogyi applies 3M painter's tape to the door openings, trunk opening, and fender edges to protect the paint while the crew continues to work on the car.		 Behind The Scenes At Overhaulin Chip Foose Wheels
Several sizes of Foose Design wheels are on the set for test-fitment purposes. The style isn't important right now, just the fit. After checking backspacing and body clearance with the test wheels, a measurement is given to the wheel builders at MHT Luxury Alloys, makers of the Foose wheels, so a custom set of wheels can be made in time for the reveal.		 Behind The Scenes At Overhaulin Chip Designs The Car
One of the key segments of the show is when Chip does the final rendering of the car for the owner. While taking only a few minutes on the show, this drawing actually takes Chip close to two hours to finish. He is taped from several angles (including a mini DV camera right on his desk), and then film is edited and sped up for the final airing.

Some cars get stock replacement parts when it comes to steering and suspension, while some get custom parts. the SportsRoof gets a new stock front suspension and steering components from YearOne (installed here by YearOne's Isaac Sims) and a trick coilover rear four-link setup from Unique Performance.
