    I've seen them doing work elsewhere, that's why the "A-TEAM" is just a little bit different each time. I've seen them doing a car in Texas, Arizona. They even did crappy things like a newer explorer 'cause that's what the girl owned. I don't know but heard tell that the "accomplice" has to pay some of the cost, everyone who thought they knew argued over exactly what though. Leave Chip Foose's # everywhere and tell your loved ones you'd love to see your car done. And then when it's done scream "WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO MY CAR!THAT'S NOT WHAT I HAD IN MIND,YOU RUINED IT, DAMNIT!"

    I love that show, it's been a while since I had to see every episode oof a show, and it's a toss up between Overhaulin and Mythbusters. I watch Monster garage too, JJ is an awesome fabricator. so, whose gonna nominate to have my car on OH? :D Honestly, I'm going to contact them to see if they would even be remotely interested in a Jeep station wagon if they ever come out to the right coast, long shot, but it would be cool

    I measure my car. a 18x7 or 18x8 will fit the front & 20x8.5 will fit the rear and still tuck in so you can lower the car a little. because those sizes will raise the car a little. I just don't like billet wheels. I think they have alot of upkeep.

    The only problem is they tax you on what is done on your car,parts and labor. the Corvette they did the guy got a 1099 form for like 45 grand.

    I enjoyed the show until they did the actors (soap opra, I think) car and you could tell the car done basically like the owner wanted it. No surprise, wasn't something the guy couldn't afford to do himself, might as well been scripted. I haven't been able to watch the show since.
    I like for the victims to own the car a while (more than a couple of years) and really need the help. Someone that appreciates the car and is truly surprised.
