<P> 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 could n'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 . </P>
