each episode would take a significant amount of planning, starting with the producers reviewing the thousands of submissions from those wanting to have a friend's or family member's vehicle overhauled, selecting a deserving person, and setting everything in motion. most builds would take place in southern california, and true to the show's premise, the team would have only eight days to complete the build. up to sixty people could be involved at any one time with the show. according to associate producer jim holloway, the show would assemble a team of seven or eight "a-team" volunteer builders about four to five days before taping would start. the builders, who were usually masters of their craft, "work[ed] together... [with] a sense of camaraderie amongst them." sometimes builders would leave the build, causing chip foose to request help from a friend or cohort to help the team finish. holloway noted that "we couldn't do the show without the builders or our sponsors." the set would have the names and logos of various sponsors, many of whom often helped with the build.
