chrisruzin.net :: Chip Foose (March 17, 2004)

It seems that half these cats that posted here are under the impression they are writing directly to Chip Foose. What’s up with that?

On the last ride charley was painting the impression the ridler winner.and chip was watching charley paint the car. and chip put up a face of boyd and charley started laughting. the thing is charley is happier working for chip. and boyd didn’t care about charley. i can’t wait until mike goes and workes for chip or ale or roy.

Hey – can you get me Chip’s autograph?? Just Kidding – I understand the site and I enjoy it (thanks for putting it up). I ran a google search and this site was about forth in the results I got last fall – it’s so close to the top, many may think it is Chip’s site. Thanks again

Hello my name is Fernando of Argentina, I want to participate the the program restoring a Ford mod 51 of my brother. Which are the requirements that complied so that the sr Foose send me a photo with his design. thanks

chip foose could make gods chariot boyd couldnt wash it or valet park it

Chip is awsome. I was driving to the Woodward Dream Crusie on Saturday and noticed a Foose Mustang in front of me. I spead up and got next to it. Sure enough Chip was driving and rolled down the window. I freaked since I am a huge fan. My wife is still making fun of me. I told him it was a pleasure to meet him and asked where he would be at the cruise. He told we where and I met up with him later. He noticed me in the group of people waiting to talk to him and came up and started talking. He was so cool. I have nothing bad to say. He is the best and I want to fly out and see his shop!

Thanks for a cool thread Chris

Hope ya-all caught Overhaulin’ last night both Charlie and Mike were on! Nice job Boyd!

I would like to say Chip Foose has done what Boyd could never do, I’m an import enthusiast and remain one to this day I always thought boydes cars are nice but never wowed me but the cars Chip designs has put me onto old school American cars altho my favorite Over Hauling was still the civic 1995 the fact that Chip Foose master hot roder knows how to do up a civic better then 90% of Honda modifiers is a true testament to his skill dropping a gsr in there was awesome only thing that car was missing was an after market interior. I hope Chip picks up all of Boyd’s employee’s that leave. I know he picked up Charlie and I heard he picked up Beatle Bailey, and I saw Mike on Over Hauling with the cobra stang but they said he was from the factory that makes foose wheels anyone know what thats about?

I think he is working for foose wheels and not in his shop. I think Foose keeps the two seperate.

am 16 and my idol is chip foose am hoping to become a car designer like him and hope to meet him one day but i will like to wish chip foose alot luck and overhaulin.

I had the pleasure of meeting Chip Foose yesterday at the Route 66 Rendezvous. My fiancé and I stood in line for close to 2 hours to get his autograph. I wish I hadn’t been so freaking nervous or else I would have talked to him more. I’ve been in complete awe at what Chip has been able to do with cars and now bikes. His attention to detail is second to none and his vision is far ahead of most. I have returned to school after many years of not doing what I really want to do and hope to one day work for/with the likes of Foose. I have a long way to go and a lot to prove but I am determined to learn everything and anything I can and maybe one day I will be fortunate enough to be working for Foose.

I hope this shows up…

chip foose is the king. boyd couldn’t ever wash chip’s cars.
boyd just needes to sell his shop to chip that the only way boyd buillding will stay open. jesse james did work for boyd . it seems like boyd can’t control his shop. the bottom line is that chip foose is the king….............

Hello, my congratulations for the show, my husband is a big fan and i like to restore your car, is a jeep willy´s 1947.
He works all day and he loved if you could make y our car an increible car to travel your work . Now he moving on bus. Thank and sorry for my english.

i think foose is a genious. he is the best, anyone do cars how chip foose he is the best cars desing, he did some crasy projects, in the paper i thoot “he is not going to finished this, for he finished this a miracle have to happened” but in the end he always finish his projects WITHOUT A SCREW IT ISN’T OUT OF ITS PLACE

Here’s a picture of me at his all mighty’s place...

Great site and very informative. Its great to finally discover what the beef is between Boyd Coddington and Chip Foose. What ever people say these guys are the masters. Its also good to hear that Charley and Mike have made appearances on Overhaulin. I suppose it will be next year before those episodes are shown this side of the Atlantic. Great site, keep up the good work.

Wow Chris, I’ve found some of these inputs fasinating. American Hot Rod and Overhaulin are quite popular here in the UK. Myself and other viewers have wondered what the hostilities between Chip and Boyd was about exactly. Now I consider myself to be an expert on the subject.

foose sos un capo,quiero estudiar diseño como vos,mi auto preferido es el ford mustang 1967,creo que es el mejor y me gustaria tener uno.

Dam i watch all the shows here in new zealand and think both boyd and chip deserve respect no one is better than one another they both can build sick lookin rods end of story .
