Finally after many many years you find that diamond in the rough car you always dreamed of

So, sell it after 2 years

>I am 99.9% sure they low key clear everything with the owner

Im not so sure
I used to be into classic VWs and they did an early splitscreen samba van for a guy called hotdog fred. He wasnt happy when he got his van back as what they did basically devalued the van by a shit load
He was on a vdub forum i used to go on and he went into what happened behind the scenes. He had no idea that they had it and couldn't change it when he got it back

Chip foose needs to be kept away from all automotive things.

Better than late 80s early 90s boyd coddington/american hotrod style.
The 55 chevy from the first episode was cool tho

Or sell the god awful foose wheels and use that cash to change it how you want

Change the wheels but it's still a candy over silver two tone nightmare.
