Phildaupho Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 The gang at the Overhaulin’ TV show decided that it was high time Chip Foose himself was Overhauled or at least severely pranked. They came up with an elaborate scheme that actually turned into a multiple prank. Through their wide-ranging contacts, they convinced the Petersen Automotive Museum that a special display of Ford F-100 Pick Ups would make an excellent exhibit. Two of the F-100s that would be included would be Chip’s own truck and the Roth Truck owned and restored by Chip’s buddy Beau Boeckmann of Galpin Auto Sports. After Beau and Chip delivered their trucks to the Petersen Museum, the Overhaulin’ crew had the Roth truck digitally scanned to create a wrap which was applied to Chip’s F-100. The only other modification was a set of large diameter wheels with low profile tires but with spinner hubcaps like the Roth truck has.

The reveal took place when Chip and Beau were asked to come and check out the display on April 1. Quote
Draggon Posted April 1, 2021 Posted April 1, 2021 I love this! Decals and wheels are a huge improvement over the original ? Quote

I like to build something for April Fools Day but I missed last year. I built the truck in Roth kit as a replica of another 1956 F-100 a few years ago but did not want the great set decals to go to waste. I think a tread for 1953 to 1956 F-100's might be kind of fun.
