Cool Overhauling on Velocity

I am addicted to a channel called Velocity and they are airing re-runs of overhauling with Chip Foose. I always wanted them to steal my car. I was wondering if ever did take a RX car like an 8 or 7. What do you think he would do to it?

I watched the show the first time around and I'm watching again. I only remember them working on one Asian import car. They mostly like older cars because they don't have to worry about emissions problems.

There was also a custom RX8 given away by BP. It was overhauled by Pettit and has some artist I never heard of add some graphics on it.
It was valued at something like $60K.
Someone from Alabama won it.

Sometimes I do not like Foose's paint jobs but I will not complain if he does my car. The value goes way up on anything he touches.

We used to have *** as our cable provider, now we have Direct TV. Never heard of Velocity since we got Direct TV. Anyways, never seen an rx8 they stole and overhauling it. It would be great if they did an rx8.
