Fantastic job Chip
Old mate Foose could design a toilet seat and it would look killer ... Dude is Da Man !!!
Chip's artistic Eye, and mind, is a God given talent . Well done !
Beautiful 57' Chip, I have a cobalt blue cabriolet with continental package numbers matching LS3 327 a beautiful cruiser that packs a nice punch 😉👍
The belair, one of my favorite cars, memories of my childhood
Fantastic Chevrolet show!!👍🏻👍🏻👋🏻👋🏻
best car CHEVY ever made AMERICAN CLASSIC
While I agree that this is an amazing customized rolling work of art, I think it's a damn shame they took apart a gorgeous original and complete 57 and left 80% of it on the shop floor. Considering the vast amount of new reproduction parts you can buy for a TriFive, they could have gotten the same result with a non running 'project car' and a stack of parts catalogs.
You took the words right out of my mouth. Beautiful work, but a damn shame.
Well, 💵 ... 🗣👍🏽
50 years in the future, car lovers are going to buy resto-mods and re-manufacture them to perfectly original condition.
But still, they wont be real "original".
I was gasping when I saw my all time fav car on the Foose block in such great shape..... But he kept it looking almost unmolested and made it a real driver. Starting with a project car costs a ton to get it into shape. Job well done in my book.
Well guys if it was your car you would do what you want. Where these owners did what they wanted. And I'm with them. It's dam fine and if I had the check book, would do the same. To have a car with the Foose name on it, is ever better than having a Detroit original.
Now _THIS_ is pure Americana and I love it.
Would look strange driving it around London, but it's beautiful.
Chip=King ,
You guys are AWESOME
Thanks for sharing
proof that Chevrolet used to design amazing cars.
You have it right, use to design amazing cars. Use to is the operative word.
Chevy still builds amazing cars I own 4 Chevy's & got the privilege to ride in a 2021 stage ll yanko Camaro proven to be the moden day best all around performance musclecar...
This 57 was all restored "factory original" car and looked great before Chip did anything to it. What a crying shame to destroy a "all factory original" rare car like it was. Would be much better to use a car already ruined from being factory original.
Absolutely agree. Foose always does a awesome job but why not start with just a old used one than a nicely restored correct one. If I was the previous owner or restorer I would be ticked.
Blake Hancock I know. It was already a car almost no one can afford & there was nothing wrong with it. But we’re taking about people here who have been drinking nothing but the finest of wines for decades & they see the world differently.
Agreed!!!
If you guy don't like chip's work then why the heck don't you just go look at some factory originals instead.
What's even more hilarious is that for their current Jaguar project, they explicitly said the reason why they didn't go with a Series 1 E-Type is because of the criticism they'd get and went with the less popular later generation model. Why they didn't think the same for a fully restored "factory original" 57 Bel Air makes no sense. Regardless they did do an amazing job on it. Of course though, if it was ordered to be done like that by the customer, then shame on the customer in that aspect.
I'm sorry, Chipster... I may be the only one to take exception, but I'm just shaking my head. Any thing (that '57) that nice should be left alone. I mean, if you're gonna build one, please don't carve up one that nice to begin with. They sell EVERYTHING to do one the way YOU want it... Why
rape an original???
exactly. this is the sort of thing that people have done who aren't really car enthusiasts but people who just like to flash their cash.
This man is just pure genius, everything he touches turns to brilliance.
Fantastic beautiful 57 Bel air convertible, good job,!!!
I like everything, including and especially those wheels. I think it's something new and people will need to get used to the idea.
What a beautiful car ! They did an amazing job as usual....😬🙌🏻👍🏻
With the exception of the wheels it looks like the car wasn't even touched, and I mean that as a huge compliment to Chip and his team. The man is an artist.
Exactly! They get the car and are like, "So what did you even do?"
I _love_ these subtle modifications!
I agree, the wheels are as ugly as a mud fence. I realize that the large wheels and the short sidewall tires are great for taking corners fast, but how often do you think that the new owners will drive it like a Corvette? Ha, more than likely, Never! Also, ride quality suffers exponentially! My opinion.
You guys know nothing about wheels on old cars.
Must of the time people look a compete classic car with original hub caps and never say anything about the rims.
If they do change the wheels and they look right,a thousand people will say they look good.
They are the same exact rims the car had but they've been enlarged to be fitted to the proper portion of the car.
Truly one of the most beautiful 57's I've ever seen...
loose the wheels
Floose the wheels.
The exhaust system sounds perfect
What a beauty
Chip, I'm a big fan of you and your work and this would have been just as stunning if you started with a decrepit shell or a new stamping -- realdealsteel or equivalent. I believe your customers would trust you if you told them that Foose doesn't pull apart classics. If there was a rationale for this let us know. Otherwise it looks as though you took apart a car someone restored with NOS parts and built the same thing you could've from a shell.
I assume it's due to the cost and time involved in hunting down good original or reproduction parts. If you're starting with a 100% complete car, then you can skip right to the modifications. Yes, it was painful for me to watch them tear it down, but it appears to be prior restoration, and not an original survivor. It was too nice.
And people say, money can't make you happy !!
It can't, but it can get you an awesome car which is the same thing! LOL
:)
It can't, but the beautiful car that you buy with it...actually can
Money can't make you skinny that's for sure!
That's why the average man can't fit into a classic car because in the 50's the cars were made for skinny guys!
It is used as means to get to what makes you happy.
Awesome color ! Beautiful 57 Chevy Belair ! Great job ! Congratulations ! Best regards from Brazil ! Henrique 😎👍
Wow!!!!!! Chip always kills it on each and every build
In this world true perfection does not exist, but damn if you guys don't come unbelievably close. Well done as always!
Como siempre, creando OBRAS DE ARTE !!!!
Chip you and your team will always be the best no matter what "!!
The 57 Bel Air was always my dream car. If I had one, it would have to look exactly like this. And no different! In Germany I would be the king on the streets.
Spectacular work. Praise to the whole team and stay healthy forever!
Eh.
Notice Chip didn't talk about it, that speaks volumes to me.
I have nothing but the highest respect for Chip Foose and his crew but in this case I think they took a rare
beautifully restored car and made it into something else! Sorry but to me, a great car was forever changed and
A LOT of money was needlessly spent! I realize I’m in the minority with my feelings here but I think a rare and wonderful
car was lost forever!
Cobb Knobbler I disagree. This was a beautiful restored to new with NOS parts. It even had the rare 2-4BBL 283. I appreciate the upgrades and the skill and money that went into it. It is no longer, however a 1957 Chevy. It is something else. Better? Perhaps but no longer a 57 Chevy. Had they done this work to a run of the mill average car I would have no problem. What they did was unnecessary in my opinion. I am far from a purist but this one got to me,...sorry!
I love how Foose is the furthest thing from a salesman.
Chip doesn't build cars. He creates art...rolling art! No one creates automotive art like Chip Foose. We are all very fortunate to live in a time along side an automotive art master like Chip! Thanks for letting us witness your creations, Mr. Foose!!!
I like restomods, but I bet it was hard to tear down this nice original. Nice car, work of art.
Uno de los autos más hermosos fabricados por chevrolet,todo un clásico legendario,restaurado por foose con la calidad y profesionalismo reconocido a nivel mundial,quedo impecable un color que se destaca,un interior de lujo,todo se ve que no se dejaron pasar detalles....solo un punto negro a pesar de copiar un patron clásico esas gigantescas llantas con neumatico de bajo perfil quedan bien en otro auto,en éste lucen horribles....pero el resto impecable bien foose como siempre.
Such quality work! Chip and his guys definitely do it right.
Him: Porsche (Poorshh)
Me: _TRIGGERED_ ... *Porsche! (POOR-sha)*
Lol, was thinking the same thing.
Was going to say the same thing. The cars these guys build and he doesn't know how to say Porsche. C'mon man.
Sorry, always thought too much was made over this, but then, I never owned one. In younger days working race registration at Watkins back in the '70s, we would pull chains and rattle cages by purposely saying Porch when someone made a fuss over our americanisms. If they made a big deal or rolled their eyes, we would ask "Poor Shua, or Poor Shia? How do you spell that?" Amazingly, the race teams and drivers that should have been the most offended took it all as a joke, the only ones really offended were the rich folks getting their courtesy paddock passes. The best answer I overheard was from Hurley Haywood who when asked how Porsche was spelled said "F-A-S-T"!
People don't seem to know it's a man's name.
The clown's teenager hat triggered me.
The wheels needed to be a touch smaller. There's truly something special about white wall tires that complete an old-skool look.
That means there is a stock chassis, wheels and engine lying idle in foose garage, all I need is a body
Im not crazy about the front wheels mabey they need some black background around the edge like the original 57 chevy hubcap but everything else top notch! I hope they dont wreck it or damage it. The problem with a car this nice is you cant just drive it to the store cause somebody will open a door on it or back into it especially in these tight ass parking spaces they have these days. I have two GM squarebodys i spent a LOT of money and time on, everytime i go to Lowes or the gas station i have people asking me about it or who want to talk about the truck take pics ect or follow me home and most of the time that is fine but sometimes you just want to get a toilet rebuild it and get back home. Thats the thing a lot of people dont realize they are getting into when you get top notch a classic car or truck like this ,its constant cleaning and i do a lot of walking so i can park way out away from car doors and shopping carts, its almost a curse worring about these classic ars but i love it anyway, its definatley not for everybody, I just hope they maintain the car properly and have a garage and good security cause assholes where i live will jack your shiat in a heartbeat.
I”ll be honest. I don’t usually like a lot of foose designs stuff, But, he knocked this one out of the park! Kept it’s originality, but upgraded everything. That’s my favorite combination..maybe He should do my Ranchero next 🤫😆
Money can't buy everything??? Beautiful beast
Absolutely beautiful, another masterpiece from Chip Foose, like a good wine only gets better with age😊👍
I am in ❤️❤️❤️ for the Color. Best wishes from Germany 🤜🏼🤛🏼
This is what happens when you have more money than common sense.
The rims are fugly! Either go vintage or go modern. That spinner on a modern wheel looks like someone couldn't make up their mind.
Wow Chip, another Beautiful Car! Love that color! Wish I was working with you!
Your friend Dennis Modica, WILD RODS...
CHIP FOOSE IT THE BEST AND ANYTHING HE TOUCH MAKE IT LOOK THE BEST
So gnarly 🤙🏼
Dont like the wheels
Wheels are PERFECT
Now that's a 57 Chevy! What a great looking car. I love the wheels.
Who want to cry. Must come n sit beside me 😢😢😢😢😭😭😭😭
An other chock from Foooooose 😭😭😭😭
Hard to beat a day where you go and pick up your Foose designed Bel Air and the man himself takes around the block in it. Dreams I tell ya.
I had a 57 Bel air 2 door HT back in 1960, yep I'm older than dirt. I always loved the styling of 57"s but also thought that the convertibles looked slightly off balance. As usual after Chip and his great crew finish Any car it looks FANTASTIC> THANKS!
Holly cow, it looks fantastic!
My 57 Bel Air is over 95% original, the paint is dull, matte, but I don't dare to change a thing in it, I will definitely consider getting another one just to have it restored by Mr. Foose just like this one, amazing job as always.
The question becomes, how much cake did these people have to cough up to drive away happy campers?
The weak point in Foose design is always the wheels, but ironically it's what he's famous for!
The one set of wheels he designed that I really liked were the retro dish rims for the green and black Challenger they did on Overhaulin years ago.
Agree, wheels has been a weak part always
@@BoUrnNe26 It's also ironic that both Mike Curtis, who designed these wheels, and Chip worked for Boyd. Chip left and Mike was fired. Both were good moves,
It's the DETAIL........
Sorry i think this build is sad, they ruined a perfectly good 57 :(. If you want Porsche handling just drive a Porsche then. This 57 will never handle as good as a modern Porsche anyways, no matter what you do to it. They should have left if like it was , and enjoyed it as a document of a gone era.
Ok these people like drive Porsche's, why butcher an original perfect time capsule of 1957 icon and turn it into a Porsche? Don't ever see someone want to tirn a Porsche into a 57 chevy yeah that would be ridiculous! The whole point is to enjoy and relish the car as it was manufactured ,I can understand upgrades brakes and so forth but keep the soul pro Porsche a basket case ! Im a hot rodder but some cars in there org state should stay that way my opinion it was better before it was Porsched
Wow! Respect for you sir ✊🏼 👍🏼
Wow Chip Foose absolutely amazing an avid fan of yours and your dad Sam Foose I love how you bring the goodness of the car out that makes a statement I loved the imposter off course brilliant idea Corvette chassis
Chip you and your guys are master craftsmen! Amazing Job!!
THE 1964 CHEVROLET HAD A FACTORY COLOR THAT IS ALMOST THE SAME.
HOW MUCH WAS THE WORK TOTAL?
need to loose two sizes off those wheels also way to big
likesd they way Chip made the LS3 look like a stock 265 Chevy SB from the 57 year. excellent work.
A 57 Chevy without white wall tires is like a jet without wings!
Exactly!
Making people’s dreams come to life. No better feeling getting what you want and a great experience having your car done by Chip and crew👍❤️🙏
You and your team really work with all your heart...really owesome !!!
Amazing beautiful professional clean work deserve every single penny daily use. But how much the cost.
I would assume hundreds of thousands.
Chip Foose I am an admirer and have been following you since your early episodes of overhaulin, as a designer yo stand out and match my taste to every single detail, as a fabricator you are a perfectionist, nothing less than the best would make you satisfied. As a human you give kindness a new meaning so a lot of respect and admiration are coming your way from Cairo Egypt from
my humble self I wish to be driving a w 113 pagoda with your signature on side panel one day and although I may never see this dream come true I can not stop hoping.... please accept my hopes for an even brighter future for yo and your team.
And they say money doesn't buy happiness! If I had the money to buy this I would be incredibly happy.
`THE CAR IS TYPICAL FOOSE BUT THE WHEELS AND TIRES DON'T HAVE ENOUGH "WEIGHT" FOR THE HEFT OF THE VEHICLE.
Love that it triggers the resto guys.... ❤️😀
WOW!
I DONT LIKE THE RIMS
Chip Foose's cars are shiny, perfect,
flawless, beautiful jewels.
Wow !!! Is an under statement. Wondering what the bill was ? It would be worth it what ever it was.
You started with a Beautiful car and ruined the fact it was all original, If you were going to re do everything you should have started with one that needs restoring. Wheels are ok, i like the chrome on the car and paint color. Interior is nice, the car sits to low for dip down driveways and speed bumps, I am just sad you took a Beautiful 57 and did a restomod.
Ruined? I think you are alone on this one.
..It turns out,..
the 57' Chevy is not the greatest "50's" car...
-All of them are great !
Please respond back!!! Where can I purchase this color? This is breath taking!!!!
I think that an untouched original should not be made into a restomod. Just my opinion
Them wheels mess it up
Wheels are perfect
This is very eerie!! This is the same exact car I have in my next life when I actually have money!!😂😂😂😂😂
That was totally RAW! Chip, without you these awesome cars wouldn't get built! Cheers!
FOOSE and CREW,never fail,👏👏👏
RANGER IZZY s
I'd probably go with a more quiet exhaust and put some white walls on the wheels instead of those black low profiles. Other than that, it's perfect 👌🏾
No. Exhaust is perfect
You guys do really good work. 😀
Love the color love the interior can’t stand the wheels which seems to be a normal occurrence with Foose wheels
Beautiful car. I would have liked to see the wheels with a smaller center and faux wide white walls though.
While it would have been interesting to see, if you still wanted the rim size to be bigger than 15 in, I feel white walls at that point would look awkward.
He is probably the best rebuilder in the entire US❤️❤️
Chip has some Hardware like "Builder of the DECADE " hanging on a wall somewhere,,,
Y nowadays these types of cars are not produced by the companies ?
another nice one. especially with the top down.
I swear if I lived in California, I'd get thrown out of your shop for hanging around watching you guys do your magic!! lol
Tell me about it. I live 5 minutes from that shop. I feel like a stalker. I drive by once in a while just to see if anybody is outside. I've randomly seen Chip driving next to me a couple times. It's like an Elvis sighting...lol
Straight, clean and crisp look takes this build to the top level. My complements to Chip and team.
That engine bay is superb.
Very clean, paint job, gaps.. Foose is perfecting every thing he touches, awesome.. art on wheels ! Also Love his Show and i'm from Europe ! ;0)
Not sure about the convertable .. we Aussies never loved them like the Americans and on a car like this those canvas tops look so agricultural and added on .. Imagine how nice the lines would have looked with a proper roof ....
All Good but you couldn't leave it alone parked anywhere. People like to touch everything which I don't blame them but... I gave up when I looked out my hotel window and saw someone looking into my 57 HT in the Show Car section of the hotel parking lot. Then his dog decided to do the same thing and put claw marks up and down my drivers side door. I was at the Pepper Tree during hot august nights in Reno when this happened. Of course you couldn't open the windows and by the time I raced down 8 flights of steps they were gone. My car is a survivor build from the 70s and I cant repair or repaint the door. Just think how much it would be for this 57s door to be repainted. Its the color match that is tough.
Why destroy a nice restored original car when you're only using some of the body panels? Most of the car was not used, and the bodies are reproduced. This doesn't make sense.
Eddie Baker It doesn’t make sense but Chip knows how to get $200,000 out of people & that’s how he does it. His mega rich clients are not the type of people who want a pile of old parts back either. So he can charge for the new & sell or reuse the old parts he keeps.
@@Properformancenutritioncom
I've only heard good things about Chip Foose as a person, unlike people I've worked for, unlike Barris and others. But personally, I think it's a waste of a nice driver. And it probably cost more than you're guess.
I've had a love affair with the 1957 Bel Air since I was about 5. I'm a total purists, but must say that is one mind-blowing resto-mod. Typical Foose masterpiece. My dream example though? A black convertible, red/silver interior, white top, totally stock and loaded with all the important drive-train options BUT without a single cosmetic add-on except white-walls. No bumper tips of any kind (I think the original flat "gunsite" disks look perfect), spinners, skirts, con. kit, right mirror, dual antenna's, or bumper guards. Just a focus on that perfect design.
