Some years ago i was in holliday in the usa, it was a great vacation! But the best thing happend in the end of the hollyday, i was in LA, and i had to see the shop of Chip Foose! So my wife and i drove to his shop, and just stood in front of his gate. A guy that i new from Overhaulin was there, and he said just wait for 15 minutes Chip will come, and let you in, ok? YESSS! 15 minutes later Chip walks to us, where you from, Holland sir. Wow, come in and ill give you the full tour! He showed us everything including the Eldorod, that he was modifying. We where there for at least 1 hour, we talkt a lot about his cars, but he was very intressted in us. We took a picture with Chip, and chook hands, he was Great!! A realy nice guy, no fake person what so ever! It was a epic day!! Thanks Chip!
I think I would have either shit myself or drowned in a puddle of drool ,lol,, that most have been awesome , by the end I would have him convinced to adopt me , I`d love to meet him , he`s on my bucket list for sure
I got to meet him at a hotrod swap meet in Kalamazoo, MI back in 2011. We were both running booths there, so neither one of us had a ton of time, but he was extremely nice, I got to shake his hand & chat a little about his time at Boyd. He offered to let me get a pic, but I didn’t have a camera. I said to him, you just became this weekends big fish story, he got a good laugh out of that!!
@@woodywoodlstein9519 That is Exactly why. Boyd's head was too big for himself. In his Boyd's eyes, he owned you. And if you leave him, Boyd would hate you to know end.
Chip has so much talent and positive humility. Boyd was an old grouch, and I don't know how anyone managed to stay in his employ. The talents of the young people that came through his shop were what made his business a success. Beautiful car.
I met Foose a few years ago at Year One. It was the day they showed the "Bandit" . I was there with a few of my friends that have Grand Prixs ('97-'03 body). Mine is a '99 GTP. We weren't in the show. Just hanging out. Sat there and watched him sign autographs and when the line ended I walked over and said "Hi".He said:" Do you want an autograph?" I said "I don't do the autograph thing. I just want to shake your hand." The look on his face was priceless!
Ever since my dad passed away, Chip Foose has been my hero. I wish everyone could hold him in high regard. Thank you Chip and please keep up the amazing work.
Doctor Ya Ya Creator of Ecstasy I didn't like Boyd. He looked like built up inner rage ate him from the inside out. Chip looks much more fun to work for.
@Charlie Hare Really? Every person's dream is to achieve their artistic license on their own terms. Working for someone, --anyone, is not going to get you there. I didn't know Boyd except for the TV show. Maybe he was a nice guy, I don't know. I just hated his shirts.
I owned a cabinet shop and had a bunch of fabricators work with me over the years. Regardless of how hard I tried or what I offered they all went out on their own. Not once did I hold it against them. They became friends and we worked together over the years on larger jobs. Without our continued relationships there were a number of jobs I would not have been able to do. When I moved and shut down one of the most talented craftsmen called me and expressed how much he appreciated our relationship and said his one regret was not staying and partnering with me instead of opening his own shop. I cherish that moment.
Chip nearly lets the floodgates burst at 3:49! I don't know much about Him and Boyd Coddington, but it seems Chip is a much nicer and down to earth guy and a fair sight easier to get along with. Is that correct?
Yes, absolutely. Chip Foose is one of the nicest people I've ever met. My dad and I ran into him here in Colorado at a car show, and I bet we talked for at least half an hour, and got a personal tour of his 1936 Ford Roadster that won the Riddler award. (owned by a guy here in CO) I doubt anyone has anything bad to say about Chip.
Boyd just seemed mad all the time, like something eating away from the inside. Where Chip seems to truly care about helping people, he's going to far outlive Boyd's years on earth.
All I know is, I have never once heard anything with a bad word to say about Chip Foose. Chip and his team(s) do great work. Chip is also a big proponent of having friends in the business like Dave Kindig and Troy Trepanier.
I was always into muscle cars and have owned a few in my time and I always wished I could work for Chip Foose. What a great guy he is. Loved 'Overhaulin' one of my favorite TV shows. And he could sure 'walk the talk'....
Amazing talented craftsmen started or passed through Boyd's shop. Thing is, Boyd thought it should be a life sentence! He should have wished them all well when each left and prided himself on the talent that was nurtured within the shop. He didn't. And that's a sad shame. Guys like Foose set an even higher standard! We're lucky to have witnessed it!
For quite some time I've been watching Chip's shows. What an awesome man, what a craftsman He is, One of the best, if not the best.😁 What I think is most awesome about Chip Is His dedication to the people, Chip is a true people person. God bless Chip.
It's cause fose fucked over Boyd by trying to put him out of business. He started a shop on the side in secret then before leaving tried to take all his staff, then on the show was still stealing staff from him. That's the main reason why Boyd didn't want to do anything with fose
One of my favorite rods was done by Chips dad, Sam. Cool 46-48 Ford, chopped channeled, deep redish maroon color with black and white checkerboard firewall.
Steve T foose sucks so did does Boyd they play off of there names everyone has a couple of great designs neither of them have had one in years i really can't stand either one of them and don't see why people drool all over there crap designs if I had a multi million dollar shop and a couple hundred thousand dollar cad computer or whatever it's called a six year old could design the sickest stuff out there I'm not trying to get on you steve it's just you happened to be where I had enough of people sAying how great foose designs are and I have to strongly disagree with all of those people
It's a business. Nothing gets done for free. It's not slapping paint on a canvas. The rods takes many people doing multiple, sequential steps. And it doesn't start until a customer puts up front money. Design is just a drawing. BC was more of an engineer than Foose. Foose attended design classes. He isn't an engineer or a machinist. The comments I've read over the last 5-7 videos are by cretins. ZIP KNOWLEDGE about what's involved..
As a struggling Graphic Designer, I've always considered him as one of my biggest influence, and just like Foose, I also started drawing at the age of 7. I have a 2010 Ford Focus SES in which I've made it into a tribute car to Paul Walker, it's based on that 1970 Escort MK-1 his character drove on Fast and Furious, but I 've sketched out the car first in Illustrator and called it "Tha Busta" and I made it into a fruition.
A lot of Foose VS Boyd on here. In my opinion, based on what I have seen him do, I have no doubt that given time, Chip Foose has the skill set to do ALL of the work needed to build any of his cars. ALL of the metal work, suspension, welding, interior, pain, engine... ALL of it. Boyd didn't have that, and a lot of time, not even his shop could do everything needed to build a car.
member548 And Chip's artwork. His renderings, he's an amazing artist. And to go out and shape the car, himself, out of what was once only in his mind's eye, is truly remarkable. Some things on Overhaulin, things the average person would never notice, he does. Like when he cut the flares on a late 70's Trans Am to match the body molding. Or shortening bumpers, when he says, "Things the designers would have done if they could." Made me a fan.
Good lord. Foose is simply the Micheangelo of custom cars. He (and the hottest shop ever) make masterpieces. Jewels with wheels. Perfection in metal and glass. Revealing the art of car design more than the manufacturers. I can easily imagine the makers just loving Chip Foose.
BASF direct in the states off there site, we emailed a few times and got nothing. We do alot of custom body and paint here but we ended up using SEM colour horizions instead.
This is a gr8 👀👀👀 car . Gr8 pity we didn't have the opportunity to 👀👀 more of it . But the best 👀👀👀 vehicle that l have seen in the 1950's style of cars is a car out of Melbourne Australia built by GM & the guys at Fishermans Bend . I have a photo of me standing close by it . FOOSE'S CAR IS GR8 BUT THE AUSSIE ONE IS IN A LEAGUE OF ITS OWN
You can clearly see why Chip is so respected, not only for his unique talent and abilities but for his heart and compassion, he acknowledges everyone that collaborates with him, he always comes last, he thanks everyone that help him and the suppliers and sponsors, owners previous and current. He is a class act. You can see how his emotions run high with his voice cracking saying thank you for the opportunity. That is huge, he has raised the bar to great levels. Some other shops have increase their game and are making amazing thing, Ring brothers, to mention one that make amazing cars, but they are arrogant and even cocky, but Chip is just so humble.
Boyd needs to realize that he is nothing without the employees that have the skillsets. He needs to learn how to respect the people that enable him to pay his bills. These are not the things Boyd does, Boyd treats everyone as if they are beneath him. Boyd hires incompetent and unskilled people (duane) as buffers to place between himself and the people that earn his money for him. He also uses Duane to create an air of discontent to cover the fact that he is irresponsible with the moneys he gets from the customers. Every single talented person that Boyd was lucky enough to get to work for him has been driven away because he has no idea how to be a decent and respectful person towards others.This is just an observation from someone that used to watch the show. Seriously if I ever got saddled with a manager like Duane I would probably end up in prison for beating the ever loving dogshit out of him.
You realize Boyd passed away in 2008? He was a great friend and builder. Like many of us in this business, our talents lie with cars. We struggle with people skills and the basics of running a business. We miss Boyd everyday, but grateful he gave so many of us a chance to learn from him.
Collision Hub Nah, don't do that. Don't try to turn a piece of shit into a saint because he's dead. He treated people like shit because deep down inside he knew he himself was a piece of shit. He made a few drawings and was fortunate enough to have been surrounded by people that had actual talent. Many scumbags do the same thing. What about Duane his #1 guy, one would expect the best guy on his crew to have shined like a star if he truly was selected as the best from his peers, that wasn't the case though. Duane and Boyd shared the same self loathing and derived pleasure from making everyone else miserable. Boyd is in hell now learning the things that I have just told you. Figure it out for yourself before it's too late.
+nunya biznez Most tiny companies (less than 25 employees) US gubment consider 500 employees a small business. I have worked for many companies this small and the company acts as though the owner creates the income and the employees are sitting there with their hands out. I hawe said good bye many times, getting ready to it again.
Boyd was a legend in his own right...yes, he did get away from being hands on which a lot say was his downfall. But he did build some stunning cars. that's what it's all about in the end.
Wow so cool to see BernieFedermann here, I bet you follow Chip closer now than ever. He really did an amazing job on your Camero! I would have been in tears too big man. Foose is a man with love in his heart for man things, people, cars I think probably only scratch the top. The Eldorod is a great showing of that.
As I get older in life and reflect on some tough talented people I understand them more. If someone is a jerk because they are passionate about getting things right let them be mad. I’d rather work with assholes that do good work them nice people that phone it in. Biggest monsters I worked with were brilliant and very talented.
I remember watching boyds show a couple times and that guy couldnt go 10 mins without belittling someone on his crew. The guy looked like he was gonna have a heart attack every episode couldn't stand it never watched the show again. Chip Foose is the better man him showing respect after everything proves that.
Foose is, and always was a class act. Boyd always claimed that Chip "stole" his talented people. However, it's not hard to "steal" folks when they're treated like dirt - like they were at Boyd's shop. Rock on, Chip!
Beautiful car. It would have been nice to see more than just a glimpse of the front and front left side. The car is absolutely stunning which is why I’m squawking.
Boyd would've painted it lime green, installed some crappy hubcaps from eBay and installed an original "custom" Massey Ferguson tractor steering wheel. Would've had 2 people quit and fire 3 more during the build.
You guys do know that Boyd Coddington did not design or build the Eldorod. Chip Foose did as the last car he did while working for Boyd. All Boyd did was put his name on it. Boyd was a marketer not a designer. He was best known for his interiors during the 60's and 70's. Boyd Coddington steering wheels were in all the custom cars of the day. Then he branched out in to custom aluminum wheels. He did an occasional car but that was not what he was known for.Ever notice on the show how the cars were designed on a computer? Just like OCC's bikes are? There Was no designer at Coddington's after Foose left. You ever see how it was done? They have a picture of a stock car that they are going to build on the screen. On the side are different design queues that have been done to them. The computer guy then goes through the list a picks and choses, He puts the cursor on an item clicks down and moves it to the stock car. It then takes shape on the car. After he's satisfied with it, he prints it out and sends it to the shop to build after Boyd looks at it. That's like going to a Harley dealer and picking out factory custom parts. Where is the human thought process? Yes the cars look good, they should they have every pat design on them, that people have liked in the past but there is no imagination.
so... because you see an edited version of the designing process you think they don't do it by hand? For a fact, there are episodes where we see the designer draw as he takes boyd's indications. You're a moron for thinking a car just spurs out of a computers program. most of his cars were requested by the client. therefore there was an existing base provided by customer, and boyd put his touch to it with the help of the designer. Just cause Spielberg can't engineers special effects himself, doesn't mean he doesn't have the exact vision of the desired product in his head
Seb D Face it, Boyd was a self centered jerk. Dave Kendig builds cars that as good or better than what Boyd built. And there's no soap opera type drama. So Foose isn't the only nice guy builder. And Dave free hand draws his designs just like Foose does. Plus they have a good time building them. You watch the other builder and you will find Boyd isn't the Normal. That Cuda Kendig built was bad Ass.
Seb D When you saw Boyd, he was burned out. Living on borrowed time, a bad heart, high blood pressure, a triple by pass. This all came out after his death. He knew he was at his end, when he closed the wheel shop, and let top employees go. He was just using his past reputation. And Boyd was known for billet interior parts, Steering wheels, window cranks, door handles. ect. These items were not cheap. A Boyd steering wheel could set you back 1500.00 He sold hundreds of them. And Boyd never was a car designer, why do you think he hired Chip Foose? And then a computer graphics guy?
sidebar recon I guess I just have a different view and respect for self made people in the creative field. I guarantee you that most your life heros. .. if you were to get a camera on them for a few years... you'd switch opinion on most of them too. It's the same reasons why i aways had te highest regard for Michael Jackson. I don't care for everything I've learned from those that forgot to care about anything else than his music. Because he was an great artist and that's what he cared to be. And Boyds work throughout the years made a name for himself in hot rod. I respect his creativity, his dedication, and his vision. Even if it meant bulldozing people from time to time but always showing appreciation to his team. Steve Jobs enters the same category. I could care less for what this show teaches me. His cars are all that matter. The rest is just white noise to me.
I have been watching Chip Foose since I was a teenager I am now 40 that man has a way with cars he is a legend we will all Miss Boyd Coddington he was also a legend cars have been a big part in my life and if it wasn't for those guys inspiring me I wouldn't be who I am today I just want to say thank you to the entire custom car industry for helping me become who I am
yep chip foose is a real nice guy who gets respect from his crew not like coddinton who was an asshole to his workers. well hes gone now shud have been a better human to people no loss.
ya know I've noticed chip can do pretty much everything draw weld paint bend (shape) etc.. I wonder if Boyd could do all that that I listed above ^ 🤔..??
Probably why he hated him. Guys that are multi talented and can do everything and every step by themselves turning out phenomenal work will always be despised by those who do not have that gift. I know this from first-hand experience in dealing with jealous people.
The art and the humanity that goes into making it passed Boyd by and left him bitter. I'd have liked to see him leave a better legacy, but more people remember him for this than his work.... sad really.
You think Boyd's stuff was good, check out what Dave Kindig is doing, like Foose, he is the real deal, and is a real nice guy, designs his own stuff and can do the work when left alone. People spending over 100 grand want to speak to the owner. Chip must have a real knowledgeable person manning the phone for him. Maybe his dad.
if I ever have a massive overflow of cash. Dave kindig and kin dig it designs will build me a car. it will sit next to the car I have chip design also. don't you just love pipe dreams!!! lol.
I'd work for Chip in a heartbeat...... nicest and most talented guy just like his father the apple didn't fall far from the tree in that family. Plus of course he builds some dream quality motors.
wow wish i could meet chip foose like you did. that day you had sounded awsome. and him teering up like that all the time just shows us his huge passion for what he does. he is the best.
+Gary McRoy I thought that Boyd was a legend of car design etc, but the longer you watched his show, the more his true personality came out. The real arrogant Boyd showed through.

I think I would have either shit myself or drowned in a puddle of drool ,lol,, that most have been awesome , by the end I would have him convinced to adopt me , I`d love to meet him , he`s on my bucket list for sure
I love Foxbody Mustangs and hope to have enough money to hire Chip to create the first Foose Fox!

What a first class guy. Boyd openly hated Chip and now that he's dead, Chip still show his respect.
ScottDLR why did he hate him. Cuz he left and went on his own ? Isnt that inevitable with someone as talented as chip ?
Boyd was a Asshole! He disowned Charlie and Mike for dealing with the competition as he said
@@woodywoodlstein9519 That is Exactly why. Boyd's head was too big for himself. In his Boyd's eyes, he owned you. And if you leave him, Boyd would hate you to know end.
Chip definitely a good guy; gives thanks to others that helped complete that beautiful car.
I've worked for a man like Boyd. They are narcissists, plain and simple. Chip is total class to still show that jizzbag any respect.
In our lifetime we will never see another builder with the skill set of Chip. From artist to fabricator and designer. Unmatched and humble.
Chip has so much talent and positive humility. Boyd was an old grouch, and I don't know how anyone managed to stay in his employ. The talents of the young people that came through his shop were what made his business a success. Beautiful car.

Then he woke up
Ever since my dad passed away, Chip Foose has been my hero. I wish everyone could hold him in high regard. Thank you Chip and please keep up the amazing work.
Your dad named Gomer?
Dareis you’re a fucking prick
foose is a real stand up guy, heaps genuine!! the world needs more of him!!
Boyd would smile if chip died, chip cried when Boyd died. Goes to show the true nature of someone.
Wow I don't think so! Boyd was very human!
michael d Boyd couldn’t stand Chip Foos
well said. It may sound harsh nut it seems that you nailed it.
Boyd was a real mean POS! Boring old man too. He and Paul T Sr were like two peas in a pod.
@@deibertmichael Chip and Boyd were completely different. Well known that Boyd was bitter about Chip leaving and I don’t think he was ever forgiven.
Boyd HATED Chip and Chip proved he has more class than Boyd ever did.
Doctor Ya Ya Creator of Ecstasy
I didn't like Boyd.
He looked like built up inner rage ate him from the inside out. Chip looks much more fun to work for.
Hate is a strong word, maybe envious but that didn't stop them working together for 8 years.
Boyd did build good cars, they were very elegant. His on air personally seemed like he was a tough guy to work for. God rest his soul

So Chip was finally able to do it the way Boyd wouldn't let him.

Chip is the man hands down and crew
You can clearly see why Chip is so respected, not only for his unique talent and abilities but for his heart and compassion, he acknowledges everyone that collaborates with him, he always comes last, he thanks everyone that help him and the suppliers and sponsors, owners previous and current. He is a class act. You can see how his emotions run high with his voice cracking saying thank you for the opportunity. That is huge, he has raised the bar to great levels. Some other shops have increase their game and are making amazing thing, Ring brothers, to mention one that make amazing cars, but they are arrogant and even cocky, but Chip is just so humble.
Boyd hated everyone who escaped his regime and Duane was petrol on the fire.
Correct
Chip is one of my idles, he the reason I stilled draing cars.
Boyd needs to realize that he is nothing without the employees that have the skillsets. He needs to learn how to respect the people that enable him to pay his bills. These are not the things Boyd does, Boyd treats everyone as if they are beneath him. Boyd hires incompetent and unskilled people (duane) as buffers to place between himself and the people that earn his money for him. He also uses Duane to create an air of discontent to cover the fact that he is irresponsible with the moneys he gets from the customers. Every single talented person that Boyd was lucky enough to get to work for him has been driven away because he has no idea how to be a decent and respectful person towards others.This is just an observation from someone that used to watch the show. Seriously if I ever got saddled with a manager like Duane I would probably end up in prison for beating the ever loving dogshit out of him.
You realize Boyd passed away in 2008? He was a great friend and builder. Like many of us in this business, our talents lie with cars. We struggle with people skills and the basics of running a business. We miss Boyd everyday, but grateful he gave so many of us a chance to learn from him.
Collision Hub Nah, don't do that. Don't try to turn a piece of shit into a saint because he's dead. He treated people like shit because deep down inside he knew he himself was a piece of shit. He made a few drawings and was fortunate enough to have been surrounded by people that had actual talent. Many scumbags do the same thing. What about Duane his #1 guy, one would expect the best guy on his crew to have shined like a star if he truly was selected as the best from his peers, that wasn't the case though. Duane and Boyd shared the same self loathing and derived pleasure from making everyone else miserable. Boyd is in hell now learning the things that I have just told you. Figure it out for yourself before it's too late.
+nunya biznez Most tiny companies (less than 25 employees) US gubment consider 500 employees a small business. I have worked for many companies this small and the company acts as though the owner creates the income and the employees are sitting there with their hands out. I hawe said good bye many times, getting ready to it again.
Mutlap so, in reality, the economy is in the shitter because of the incompetence of the average small business owner.
Boyd was a legend in his own right...yes, he did get away from being hands on which a lot say was his downfall. But he did build some stunning cars. that's what it's all about in the end.
Wow so cool to see BernieFedermann here, I bet you follow Chip closer now than ever. He really did an amazing job on your Camero! I would have been in tears too big man. Foose is a man with love in his heart for man things, people, cars I think probably only scratch the top. The Eldorod is a great showing of that.
That blue on a guitar, look cool like the car beautiful colour.
Wow beautiful
As I get older in life and reflect on some tough talented people I understand them more. If someone is a jerk because they are passionate about getting things right let them be mad. I’d rather work with assholes that do good work them nice people that phone it in. Biggest monsters I worked with were brilliant and very talented.
I remember watching boyds show a couple times and that guy couldnt go 10 mins without belittling someone on his crew. The guy looked like he was gonna have a heart attack every episode couldn't stand it never watched the show again. Chip Foose is the better man him showing respect after everything proves that.
You can't have a Foose speech with out a Foose tear!!
Foose is, and always was a class act. Boyd always claimed that Chip "stole" his talented people. However, it's not hard to "steal" folks when they're treated like dirt - like they were at Boyd's shop. Rock on, Chip!
Gorgeous Car. I want a poster of it
car reveal at 4:02 . great job foose.thanks for sharing this video.
Beautiful car. It would have been nice to see more than just a glimpse of the front and front left side. The car is absolutely stunning which is why I’m squawking.
Wow that has to be the most goergous spotless immaculate car ive ever seen. 👍
Boyd would've painted it lime green, installed some crappy hubcaps from eBay and installed an original "custom" Massey Ferguson tractor steering wheel. Would've had 2 people quit and fire 3 more during the build.
Lolol nailed it!!
You guys do know that Boyd Coddington did not design or build the Eldorod. Chip Foose did as the last car he did while working for Boyd. All Boyd did was put his name on it. Boyd was a marketer not a designer. He was best known for his interiors during the 60's and 70's. Boyd Coddington steering wheels were in all the custom cars of the day. Then he branched out in to custom aluminum wheels. He did an occasional car but that was not what he was known for.Ever notice on the show how the cars were designed on a computer? Just like OCC's bikes are? There Was no designer at Coddington's after Foose left. You ever see how it was done? They have a picture of a stock car that they are going to build on the screen. On the side are different design queues that have been done to them. The computer guy then goes through the list a picks and choses, He puts the cursor on an item clicks down and moves it to the stock car. It then takes shape on the car. After he's satisfied with it, he prints it out and sends it to the shop to build after Boyd looks at it. That's like going to a Harley dealer and picking out factory custom parts. Where is the human thought process? Yes the cars look good, they should they have every pat design on them, that people have liked in the past but there is no imagination.
so... because you see an edited version of the designing process you think they don't do it by hand? For a fact, there are episodes where we see the designer draw as he takes boyd's indications. You're a moron for thinking a car just spurs out of a computers program. most of his cars were requested by the client. therefore there was an existing base provided by customer, and boyd put his touch to it with the help of the designer. Just cause Spielberg can't engineers special effects himself, doesn't mean he doesn't have the exact vision of the desired product in his head
Seb D Face it, Boyd was a self centered jerk. Dave Kendig builds cars that as good or better than what Boyd built. And there's no soap opera type drama. So Foose isn't the only nice guy builder. And Dave free hand draws his designs just like Foose does. Plus they have a good time building them. You watch the other builder and you will find Boyd isn't the Normal. That Cuda Kendig built was bad Ass.
Seb D When you saw Boyd, he was burned out. Living on borrowed time, a bad heart, high blood pressure, a triple by pass. This all came out after his death. He knew he was at his end, when he closed the wheel shop, and let top employees go. He was just using his past reputation. And Boyd was known for billet interior parts, Steering wheels, window cranks, door handles. ect. These items were not cheap. A Boyd steering wheel could set you back 1500.00 He sold hundreds of them. And Boyd never was a car designer, why do you think he hired Chip Foose? And then a computer graphics guy?
sidebar recon I guess I just have a different view and respect for self made people in the creative field. I guarantee you that most your life heros. .. if you were to get a camera on them for a few years... you'd switch opinion on most of them too.
It's the same reasons why i aways had te highest regard for Michael Jackson. I don't care for everything I've learned from those that forgot to care about anything else than his music. Because he was an great artist and that's what he cared to be.
And Boyds work throughout the years made a name for himself in hot rod. I respect his creativity, his dedication, and his vision. Even if it meant bulldozing people from time to time but always showing appreciation to his team. Steve Jobs enters the same category.
I could care less for what this show teaches me. His cars are all that matter. The rest is just white noise to me.
sidebar recon Kendig is a JOKE compared to anyone that does real custom cars.
Chip Foose in a class all his own, there are many car builders but only one Chip Foose.....
I have been watching Chip Foose since I was a teenager I am now 40 that man has a way with cars he is a legend we will all Miss Boyd Coddington he was also a legend cars have been a big part in my life and if it wasn't for those guys inspiring me I wouldn't be who I am today I just want to say thank you to the entire custom car industry for helping me become who I am
Well done Chip
Chip Foose is the best builder with the biggest heart and profound talent, I so much miss Overhauling!
yep chip foose is a real nice guy who gets respect from his crew not like coddinton who was an asshole to his workers. well hes gone now shud have been a better human to people no loss.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
So what about the car? You show us 15 seconds
Hi. I like Chip, like his work but c'mon barely got to see the car or check out the paint.
Seems like a straight up guy to me - room for everyone - RIP Boyd though.
Fuck Boyd
That blue is pretty sick.
That was a lot of thank-you's and very little showing of the car.... Thank-you!
ya know I've noticed chip can do pretty much everything draw weld paint bend (shape) etc.. I wonder if Boyd could do all that that I listed above ^ 🤔..??
Boyd could barely wipe his own ass, his ex wife and son are douches as well.
Probably why he hated him. Guys that are multi talented and can do everything and every step by themselves turning out phenomenal work will always be despised by those who do not have that gift. I know this from first-hand experience in dealing with jealous people.
Chip is one of kind...he's the Best👍👍👍👍👍
The art and the humanity that goes into making it passed Boyd by and left him bitter. I'd have liked to see him leave a better legacy, but more people remember him for this than his work.... sad really.
The rims are pretty hot I must say. Much better than the cheap stamped steel decorative hubcap.
Chip is a true gentleman.
Stunning
Boyd was a first class PR###&. Chip. Much respect.
Some pretty nice shots of the car.
Hi Kristin its me. I found this and subscibed
GORGEOUS!!
Boyd Coddington was one of the nicest and most generous men I've seen on television.
Love your work😁👍
Title is wrong, he says it’s the FIRST car he drew for Boyd.
I guess you never saw Overhauling? Foose was hands on with every car they produced, including metal work and paint.
the paint job just looks like glass. Very nice job chip
Hands down if I was to ever get my car customized or buy rims it would only be from foose I like his style
You think Boyd's stuff was good, check out what Dave Kindig is doing, like Foose, he is the real deal, and is a real nice guy, designs his own stuff and can do the work when left alone. People spending over 100 grand want to speak to the owner. Chip must have a real knowledgeable person manning the phone for him. Maybe his dad.
We're actually friends with Dave and You're right he's a killer builder and an all around great guy!
if I ever have a massive overflow of cash. Dave kindig and kin dig it designs will build me a car. it will sit next to the car I have chip design also. don't you just love pipe dreams!!! lol.
Is that a removable hardtop?
Wait no one got fired ?
Who did you email? We're happy to help make a connection to the BASF team.
Good show
He is introducing a Coddington Car with a new paint job? How is that something new?
I'd work for Chip in a heartbeat...... nicest and most talented guy just like his father the apple didn't fall far from the tree in that family. Plus of course he builds some dream quality motors.
wow wish i could meet chip foose like you did. that day you had sounded awsome. and him teering up like that all the time just shows us his huge passion for what he does. he is the best.
I don't agree Boyd was the best even in is asshole ways.
This video sucks Foose talks about his self !@#$ him show car.
Gary McRoy Pretty much that, yeah.
+Gary McRoy I thought that Boyd was a legend of car design etc, but the longer you watched his show, the more his true personality came out. The real arrogant Boyd showed through.
Foose took the high road here, considering how much Boyd hated him and anyone else who left his hellhole of a shop and moved on to better things!
Where's the G--D car?
Now I wish I had a car like that
I want that Elder Rod!
Gaia Qi-Sophia
SAmkwk ikon is in uwiakwlwl
lol not sure if you klaus is would us like a new.
N. Bukawl pl15 is the way you
Incredible...
boyd and paul sr should be in business together when he was alive
Boyd would never mention Foose in good light or at all, at any unveiling like Chip has done here, You're all heart Chip. We love you.
Gorgeous motor.
I have an old truck in my garage but it isnt ever going to look as good as the cars Chip builds.
RIP Chip, you were the best!
He's not dead
Chip Foose is the Man
Chip Foose is BADASS
AZUL M.CHIP FOOSE vous ete une personne géniale je suis un de vos fane
