The previous seasons, Chip and the A team was all about keeping things original if they could. In both of these cases they were already "ruined" and not original. So why not just go all out? 
It was nice to see the show again though. I do kind of miss the pranks and how they take the vehicles. I'll try and watch a few more though. |
Like I said, it was not really a numbers car or even a "worthy" mostly original car. But they did cut up the interior which had already been replaced.
I went through all the phases. When I bought my car it was the 80s and I was in high school. I was all about making it faster. So, I took stuff off and replaced it at will. Then, I tried to make it a more streetable car (late 90s) and replaced a few suspension and interior parts. Luckily, I kept everything and am now puting it all back to original.
I'm not at all and have never been into "resto-mods" where they replace everything except the body (though cut it up tubbing it). Hey, it's just my opinion and preference. So, I'll stick to not liking Chip cutting up classics. He is great at what he does. I am a fan. But some stuff I just don't like done... Oh, and I'm not into those two tone paint jobs, either.
