In season 3 episode 10 of Overhaulin', the team takes on the challenge of transforming a 1972 Chevy Nova that belongs to a dedicated firefighter named Mike. Mike's Nova has been in his family for generations and he has spent countless hours working on it, but despite his efforts, it is in desperate need of a complete overhaul.
The Overhaulin' crew, led by designer Chip Foose and co-host Chris Jacobs, begins the makeover by surprising Mike with a fake ticket that leads him to believe his beloved Nova has been impounded. When Mike arrives at the supposed impound lot, he is greeted instead by the Overhaulin' team and his Nova, which has been transported to a secret workshop.
The team gets to work on the car, stripping it down to the frame and rebuilding it from the ground up. Chip focuses on the exterior design, creating a sleek, modern look for the Nova with custom paint and bodywork. Meanwhile, the mechanics work on upgrading the engine, suspension, and brakes to improve the car's performance.
As the overhaul progresses, the crew discovers that the car has more issues than they anticipated. They work tirelessly to address each problem, making sure that every detail of the car is perfect before its unveiling.
Throughout the process, Chip and Chris check in with Mike to get his input on the design and keep him involved in the project. Mike is blown away by the transformation, and he can hardly believe that the car he has been working on for years is now a show-stopping work of art.
The episode culminates in a dramatic reveal, with Mike seeing his Nova for the first time since its transformation. The car is unveiled in front of a cheering crowd, and Mike is overwhelmed by the love and effort that went into the overhaul.
Overall, Overhaulin' season 3 episode 10 is a heartwarming and inspiring story of a team coming together to bring new life to an old car. Through their hard work and dedication, the crew is able to give Mike a once-in-a-lifetime experience and a beautiful car that he will cherish for years to come.
