And they keep comin’… Unbelievable! Hello!!?

Hey, in several interviews I’ve read with Chip, he refuses to comment on “production” cars that he has had a hand in designing – Does anybody have an idea on which cars he’s worked on or any speculation?

my name is tiago i like your desenhos

Bubblehead, Chip uses Prismacolor markers…theyre the top of the line designer markers.

The Dodge Challenger prototype looks like it has a bit if foose influence in it…not sure tho

Here’s me an the Hemisfear at the SEMA show in Las Vegas!

Check out my BLOGG guys!

My mother Tammy Bobb has a 1995 dodge caravan that she has had since 95 to take my brother from Newville, Pa-Hershey, Pa almost everyday for about 3 years to see the doctors at the hospital. Than she would have to run him about 3 days a week to therapy in Campill, Pa. She still has it, and she having a hard tie departing with it because it holds sentimental memories. She still takes him to Hershey and speech class today. He is 13 years old now and will never be able to do what my brother or sister and I will. MY brother has a vehicle that my mom drives to take him places now. But the point Is that my mother is battling cancer for the pass 2 years. That is way I’m trying to get my mother’s van Over Hauled. Thank you for your time: Scott Bobb

What I consider the defining difference between Boyd and Chip is how their employees see and react to them. It seems that Boyd might have forgotten where he started because of the rough times he has weathered. From time to time you have rare glimpses into the fun loving Boyd (which he might consider the reason for past business failures). Chip does not seem as jaded and still acts like a Car Guy. Chip’s men are willing to work crazy hours without complaining because he goes right into the trenches with them, he still loves what he does. Boyd, on the other hand, no longer puts in the hours. He is more of a boss like the rest of us in the world have, and there is nothing wrong with that because he has paid his dues.
As far as work product, any of us that is ever lucky enough to own any product produced by either of these men would most likely consider it their prize possession (I know I would).
But I respect and admire Chip Foose for more reasons than that. After watching Overhaulin’, I noticed the close relationship between Chip and his father. Using their relationship as a model (and cars as a catalyst) I purchased a 68 Mustang for my ever-distant 15 year old son. Over the next year and a half, my son and I completely rebuilt the car. His example helped me bond with a son who says that before the car he always felt distant from me. Chip was in Detroit this past Sunday at Autorama and I wanted to go and thank him in person, but was unable. I do someday wish to meet him and thank him.

Chip you do a stand up jpb, I just wish i could do what you do to my ole mini van, lol Yeah I have a 95 windstrar and wish i could do the work it needs .. The tranny needs help and both side were swip.. if i wasn’t disabled i would love to work on her.. Have had it since it was new it was my wifes before she died and i kept it to hang on to something you know ..well maybe some day…

What markers does chip use, my husband is an artist and it would be a great xmas gift.

my dad is about to selll this old wheeles truck .i’m only 11 but thats the first truck dad has ever had.please help me Chip.your my dads hero

Here’s a shot of me next to the Overhaulin’ car at SEMA 2007!!

i live in england and watch your programe on tv day after day and wish you lived in the uk love what you do for people makes me cry at times i like to mess with my car and if you could i would love a large foose sticker for my toolbox many thanks dave

I guess people don’t even read the previous posts! Chris, I still think you are missing some kind of opportunity to make some money – you know, take small deposits with the idea that Chip will think about working on their car… Some of the people that are posting messages are not very bright!!!

I dont think so either. Why does people think that this is “the real thing”..?

I dont know how I can get in contact with chip foose throught email but I was wondering how to get my brother on overhaulin, he has a 1990 ford ranger, it was my parents but they gave it to him, it has 300, 000 miles. But everything is being replaced piece by piece, hes a full time college student and he loves to watch the trophy truck races and loves the baja 500 and 1000

Hello this message is for mr chip. I am a prior fan of his work but extremly not impressed and not a fan anymore. I sent a copy of some concept car art around 5 years ago of a modernized 1969 camaro rs with no responce. All I wanted was his opinion of what was thought of my concept with no responce but what realy pisses me of is that four years later out of all the old musle cars they come out with they come out with the old camero concept go figure. everyone that knows my concept art going back 12 years are quite amazed how on the ball I am with my concepts. There are people that know my concept art and dont think to highly that I never had any responce whats so ever but out of all the musle cars why in the world did it have to be the camero when it was one of the concepts I trusted to expose why couldnt it of been something else but any ways there are just a bunch of lame designers with no talent of there own to come up with their own designs. They steal other designs and expect the credit but anyways I am done with my bitching and have alot of other concepts which will not be exposed for example a 69 firebird, 68 gto gudge, 57 chevrolet, etc ps. I think the auto concepts today are lame and look too foreign. I would doubt that chip is a real two faced dick.
