Which I don’t mind doing, but it breaks my heart that some of my favorite memories with my dad are walking around shows and looking at all these different cars and talking about them. It’s not fun for him to stand there when everyone wants to take a picture or get an autograph.
How is that to deal with?ĬF: The biggest downfall about the success of Overhaulin’ is that I just can’t take my son and enjoy a car show. I don’t care what the underneath is as long as I get to be creative and build something no one has ever seen before.Ĭ/D: With TV exposure comes fame. That’s how they used to build them back in the ’20s and the ’30s.Ĭ/D: Could you hot-rod something like a Tesla?ĬF: I don’t think it’s impossible. I would love to find a chassis and design and build my own body. It will look like an original Cadillac until you look underneath.Ĭ/D: Is there something you’d like to build?ĬF: What has really been on my mind a lot is that I want to build a Duesenberg. Last night, I was in the shop until one in the morning fabricating on Wes Rydell’s ’39 Cadillac that we’re building. She helped us, and we got through it.Ĭ/D: Are you going into the shop every day? Or are you spending more time on designs?ĬF: That’s the great thing about this job.

Legal bills.Ĭ/D: Have you learned how to protect yourself from that?ĬF: Well, I married an attorney. I can say that just about everything I made on Overhaulin’ was spent there. When he didn’t deliver cars, people came after me.
All I did was a drawing, and I was supposed to collect a royalty when he sold or delivered a car. ĬF: How did you know I was thinking of them? That was a nightmare.

As a builder you’re thinking, “We’ve got to push the envelope,” and that’s not what it’s about now.Ĭ/D: What is the pitfall of licensing your name?ĬF: You’re not in control of what someone else is doing to your reputation.Ĭ/D: Unique Performance in Texas, which collapsed in 2007, had a license to build ’69 Camaros under your name.
The way they’ve done the judging, your guess is as good as anybody’s about what you need to build. C/D: So which is better: the America’s Most Beautiful Roadster (AMBR) or the Ridler award?ĬF: Boy, that’s getting political, isn’t it? The difficult thing with the AMBR award right now is that there’s no target on the wall about what you need to build.
