Customs - Season 3 - Episode 17

Martin owns a 1965 Impala. Overhaulin' took it to Classic Industries and asked Martin's wife what her husband wanted in an Overhauled ride. Vanessa told Chip Foose all of Martin's desires, but as she watched the car come apart, she wasn't sure if Chip and the A-Team could really make the ride come back together and beautiful in just seven days. Vanessa watches the show, but when you're actually there, it all seems impossible.

Of course, the team did deliver an amazing transformation in the end. But before Martin could get it, he was pranked thoroughly. Overhaulin' obtained the ride from one of Martin's friends; this pal told Martin he knew of a waterfront car shop that could do some work on the '65. But as the Impala was being worked on, Martin was told that U.S. Customs had confiscated the car and that Martin had a lot to answer for. Baffled and frustrated, Martin was later told he needed to be part of a shady payoff if he wanted his car back. Honest Martin refused to do anything crooked, and by then, the truth was out anyway; Martin learned that Overhaulin' was involved. And after seeing the car, he saw just how true that was.
