Chip Foose

The Grandmaster

After seeing the latest edition of Rides, I thought I’d go check out the site of my favorite hot rod designer, Chip Foose.  The last time I checked in on the site, it was still under construction.  Well, it’s now up and running and looks pretty good.

Chip makes some of the sweetest hot rods I’ve ever seen.  And he’s won numerous awards for those hot rods too.  The car above is called the Grandmaster, and it’s considered by many to be the perfect hot rod.  It’s won many awards including the big one, the Ridler.

I would LOVE for him to work on my car, but know that won’t happen.  He’s probably got at least 5 cars he’s working hard on all the time.

I don’t actually own a car, but it would be great if you could help me pick one out, then overhaul it for me – that would be cool. Give me a call.

you guys and gals should read the blog on rickART it makes me mad. boyd said the businnes of building hot rods is a cut throat way of life. i do not feel sad for boyd because he made charle work all those long hours painting car with a crazy dead line. and he said he wanted to come back and work there and just paint one of chips cars. but i think charle did it because of this family you can not put that kind of stress on a person. and what that lever of quality to stay that way.

Hey Rick, don’t post too many pics, especially larger ones like the one of you at Foose’s. The thread is already a slow loader, with lots of externally linked images, it will take even longer.

Besides, you had already linked to that page earlier in the thread.

Yeah I know, sorry ‘bout that. It wont happen again!

Man you really have controll… wink

Great Site! Thought i’d add my 2 cents worth. There is no denying the artistry of Chip Foose a true master and a pleasure to watch. However, to me his peaces are like fine polished diamonds…perfection from the inside out… what a pleasure, but there truly is nothing like a rare peace of amber that captures the soul that diamonds don’t have. I’ll take a rat rod any day… i need soul. I need a rat. I need 2 cents more.

Ant-Ram (February 26, 2005) I agree with your comments 100%. People very easily criticize when they have no idea.

I think that Foose is the King.. Many people in India do car design but no one can be like Foose, he just gets into it. He is the god. Foose plus point is , he very cool and he enjoys hid design. Foose is the best.

Great pics, RickART! Are those Chip’s sketches or yours?

Chip is looking a lot younger in those pics too. Of course, those pics are almost 10 years old now.

RickART's gravatar RickART Norway June 4, 2006

No those are his renderings. And yes he looks a lot younger. I’m not sure if this Overhaulin’ thing is a good thing for him. He needs to sleep more… grin

Here’s one more picture. This time from ’95. I’m the one in white… grin

I don’t know if you guys have seen this, but this was painted on the wall at the hot rod shop at Hot Rods by Boyd back in the days (‘95). Pretty Cool! (Boyd who..?) grin

Chip foose is great. Its amazing what he does. I just bought chartpax markers i think they are the ones he uses. i used to use prismacolor. i am 15 years old and live in Melbourne Fl. I go to all the local car shows and i do drawings of peoples cars for them and sell them. I do my own designs also. I met him at barrett jackson in west palm beach this past year. I just wish i knew a little more about what art supplies he uses or tips he may have.
Thank you
