The A team nearly always overhauls older cars, so pulling apart this vehicle wasn’t as easy as usual.  With only 3 days to transform the sedan into Chip’s custom design they had to get going fast.  Early in the week, Chip sat down and sketched the rendering which showed the final look of what is now know as the Chrysler Foose 300V.  V stands for the Velocity network, which airs original episodes of Overhaulin’.

The stock Hemi engine on this ride goes from zero to 60mph in 5.8 seconds, but with a few tweaks, it was screaming even faster.  A cold air intake performance boost was added making the air cooler and denser which provides more power.  A Magnaflow stainless steel performance exhaust was also installed by Richard.  Chip chose a Mopar pistol grip shifter to replace the stock unit.  

The two tone paint job required many long hours to perfect, with Chip laying out the perfect accent line to separate the colors.  After scuffing up the body panels and carefully wet sanding, the pearl orange stripe, gloss black and Velocity networks signature silver were painted on the 300 in the wee hours of the morning.  He decided to blend the silver color, gradually darkening towards the bottom of the car.  The orange stripe followed the curve on the rear to create an illusion of an aerodynamic wing.  

The overall stance is lower and more aggressive.  Body panels were fit on the bottom of and new shocks were added which still retain some part of the stock unit. After adding the suspension lowering kit, dropping the ride 1.5 inches, handling has been improved and a lower center of gravity achieved, reducing drag.  22 inch one-off custom Foose MHT wheels were wrapped in Pirelli tires.  

Chip designed the custom leather interior using the original seat covers but added camel color leather to the center with grey piping on the outside.  Chip created a custom signature logo for this ride which was embroidered to the upper seat back and included the Foose logo, the Velocity Network V and 300.  You can also find this custom logo on the front fender area.  To match the seats, they put camel leather in the center of the side door panels with black stitching.  The grille was also modified with the chrome center replaced by a black insert, making the front visually pop and also matching the silver and black color theme.
