Got asked to help out w/ a few Overhaulin' episodes

My friends shop does a good amoutn of the paint work for the show and he asked me to come out and help them out w/ a few episodes. Not sure if I want to do it but it's a once in a lifetime opportunity.


So what do you think, do it, don't do it? It's a non paying gig and most of the painting is done in the middle of the night. I'll be helping out doing body prep and final sanding and such. They told him if he does 4 more episodes they'll give him a new spray booth, he's not sure if he even wants to bother though, because it takes a lot of their time and they haven't even seen any feedback from it. That's one of the reasons he wants me to help out, he could use an extra hand if he does do it.




also on a side note, sat and talked w/ Foose and Troy for about 5 minutes at the GNRS last night


Also ran into Titus again

What's you talk to Foose and Trepanier about?

And I think you should totally take an opportunity to join at least one build. It should be a great experience. I would if I were you.

Cars, what else is there to talk about, they came over and looked at my suburban. Chip had seen me in the car a few months before when I was at a shop near his a few months back.


It's amazing how small chip is, guy has to be maybe 5'6. Troy is a big guy.
