Chip was very interested in the story. He didn't even know the car had been sold. I had put together an album of pictures showing what the car looked like when I got it and he spent quite a while looking through the pictures of the reoverhaul. He thanked me several times for taking care of and restoring the Monte Fuego and asked for my contact info. I also met the man who made the wheels and several of the other overhaulin guys. They all shared stories about the hard work that went into the car and told me how grateful they were that it had been preserved. Overall it was a great weekend and I couldn't have been happier. Chip was an awesome guy!

Hey guys...Just thought I'd post a few pics from the Chip Foose Braselton Bash last month...My younger brother and I took the Monte Fuego cross country and got to hang out with Chip several times during the weekend...He really is as nice as everyone says he is...He signed the car and even drew a sketch of it under the hood - very cool!!! The Monte was the talk of the show, and I ended up having a few beers with Chip and the Overhaulin' gang back at the hotel after the event...It was awesome! Can't wait to go again next year! I uploaded a few new pics in case some of you were interested! Enjoy! Mike

Did you get your suspension installed? I am considering this same setup...Were there any issues? How do you like it? Any feedback is appreciated...Thanks!!! Mike

I picked up the reworked ZZ4 from the machine shop today...Can't wait to finish the assembly and get it back in the car!

Yup, the Monte Fuego has one...It clears the hood with room to spare and looks awesome (with a small block, anyway)...It whines a bit at idle, but some people really like that and the extra power to the rear wheels is worth it...I think you can see the video of the install online or you can find it on the Overhaulin' Season 1 DVD...Hope that helps!
