Nobody destroys as many classic cars as Foose. I’d never let that clown anywhere near a classic car.

If you're going to chop up arguably the best Corvette design ever. You best be able to make it orders of magnitude better. Enter Chip Foose, American icon, and builder designer of EIGHT Riddler award wining cars. Chip has contributed to many iconic cars from Elenor and Wounded Warrior Project to the Boydster.

I think the reason why I like Chip the most compared to other car builder's is he gets his hands dirty. Thanks for sharing

Google the "Buckshot Corvette". My grandfather was the engine builder for that car. It was a 61 though. Landed him in the NHRA hall of fame and he and the driver won the 68 NHRA championships with that car. I hope you do something amazing with it Chip!

So much easier to watch than other resto shows where they introduce fake drama and stupid backstories. Foose is all about the Craftsmanship, the Art, the Car and the Customer

As I watch this video, I'm taken back to my early childhood! My Godfather (R.I.P Bobby), had a 61 vette, and when I was little, like 6 years old, my Dad (R.I.P. Dad) helped him put a 1968 Z28 327/ muncie 4 speed into that car. This is where I come from, this is my heritage, this is who I am! I am a son of a builder, a man that made things work! I was under the car when I was in diapers, and pretty much never left! My parents were both employees of Scheilper's Speed shop back in the early 1960's. Mom did the books for John, and Dad built the engines! Today, it;s called "Pro Power Motor Sports"! If you look around, you will see my Dad in every racing sport there is! Mom too! Mom put John on the straight and narrow with the business, showed him what to do, and he went off to be huge! Today, I am a diesel mechanic for the US military, Still, I remember how I was under the car with Dad, and still I cherish those moments as he taught me what it meant to be a mechanic! We spent hours taking apart starters, trying to save them by cleaning out the commutator, sanding brushes,,,,,,, Why? Because I was the oldest of 6, and this was the best he could do! Chip? Keep doing your work, because first of all for you, it's a passion! Second of all, because there are guys like me that would die for the chance, and will never get it! You bring out our visions! Even if we can't see them just yet!

What a super builder & fabricator & nice guy. He was in Milwaukee and was super nice to talk to my boys even though he was busy😎👍

Much better than watching Overhaulin’. Actual hands on without all the drama. Not that Overhaulin’ is bad, but this is way better. Thank you Mr. Foose for the great builds and videos.

What a talented artist! Get a chip foose car now because in 20 years they will be unattainable

you got to love his hands on approach to all his builds,doesn't just point gets in there and does it.

Of all the youtube builders Chip is the best; that's because he isn't a youtube builder, he's a professional/an artist. Props to you Chip and the guys, hats off.

Hats off Chip, you set a great example, with an obvious balance between creativity and hands-on that is rare nowadays 👏🏼👍🏼👏🏼👍🏼

My dream would have Chip do a vehicle for me..it's just a dream. I could never afford it. That man can turn anything into treasure

assing cars up one at a time Foose Design nobody does it better

This man is a God,his work is out of this world

I like that it is just about the cars, no added drama, just the guys doing what they do best.

A known design genius of our times, and still doesn't mind the itch of sanded fiberglass on his arms. Always know you are never above any job. Can't wait to see the rest of this build. Sir Chip, please keep posting more of this style, people need to remember it not easy...

Chip is better at doing than talking. I like that.

Mr Foose, you and your team are amazing. Like watching a patient getting plastic surgery only so much better (retired nurse, sorry).

One of my favorite Corvette's, can't wait to see what this exceptionally talented artist can do with this generation car. Chip has on of the best eyes for design I've ever witnessed. Will be following this build with enthusiasm and excitement.

When Chip builds you a car the question is never how much, or when, it's just thank you for a beautiful piece of art

I am certain this Corvette will look fantastic. I not so sure it will look better than the original design. I mean, there is a reason why the car is a classic.

Great video. Chip Foose is one to his own and we can see here why he's been so successful. He genuinely lives and works and breathes his passion for cars & car design. Loved the little comments as to understanding why designers in the 1960s did things a certain way. Decades later he still understands the constraints they worked within and respected their compromises. I guess you could say Foose Design eliminates those compromises the designers & manufacturing process must face.

Recently subscribed.. I’m still drooling over the E Type Jaguar

I like that Chip isn’t one of those guys like Boyd Coddington that just tells his guys what he wants,Chip gets right in there and gets his hands dirty and works with them.

As the owner of a ‘62 this is painful but fascinating!!!!

That lift had a hell of an exhaust note

I love the comments on sanding in a paint booth. I worked on Corvettes for many years and did most grinding and sanding on fiberglass in the booth. Fiberglass particulates are nasty and the air flow kept skin irritation and lung irritation to minimum. Regarding keeping a booth clean for a perfect paint job - The booth was always thoroughly cleaned after the glass work was done. I’m sure they spend plenty of time cleaning the booth considering Chip is one of the best car builders in the business. Put some thought into comments

Being a body man myself. Excellent craftsmanship! These guys give you what your paying for! Beautiful job

Wish the new Vette had this old Classic design. This was the Golden Age of Corvettes.

My little brother would like this overhaul on his 1962 Vette.... But now I have a 67 Chevelle that could use a bit of Foose Magic...Great stuff with the Wizzard Chip ...Insane cool subtle changes to a car design is his motto...I wish the crews were still showing their stuff on tv...Best wishes to the best Car Guy...great video!

You gotta love that Chip loves to do the work, who could possibly know more about what the finished design should look like, he always knocks it out of the park.

This is the great thing about Chip...he ain't much of a stool pusher...he gets his hands dirty with a project.

Most of the car took 243 fabrication hours; the head lamps, 1,112 hours. Now that’s serious perfectionism.

Ideas and dedications, strong words to Foose

Pete Brock said it best, Chip is the best independent automotive designer in the US.

Haven't geeked out too much when running across celebs or famous people, but I gotta say the day I met Chip was memorable. Every bit as awesome and kind as he comes across on the screen. What an honor! Thanks for the content to everyone at Foose Design!

My favorite year corvette made even better !!

Chip looks like a guy who had too much coffee and not enough sleep, but if I had that much brilliance I'd probably explode. The guy is a genuine Overhaulin' legend.

Being a poor person I will never be able to have a person like Chip ever built a car for me but I totally admire his ability to design and build some of the most beautiful automobiles i have ever seen, i had a 66 impala SS 327, i wish I had never sold it. Chip never stop building them

As someone said, he's a real artist. It's all in the detail and his hands on approach. Mind you, that's to take nothing away from the skill and dedication of his. Great channel, thanks.

It was such an honor meeting Chip, I hope to meet him again someday!

Not sure how you can be a maniac and a genius at the same time Foose, I would never thought about putting the bumpers in the press like that, but VIOLA.

Hello Chip greetings from Texas! Chip I love your creativity on your builds, love it, whatever you draw that car comes to life just like the drawing.

Another work of art in the making.....

talent and humility some leaders of countries could use a lesson from him

mazing to see Chip work. I am sheet metal worker by trade, and do lots off stuff. But I dont think I can even come close to his talents. And not to forget the people that work for him.

Once again, the man emerges... your attention to detail is second to none.

I love to watch you work Chip. I'm a hairdresser and like you I create styles and flow with the lines rather than fashion and speed. You inspire me quite a bit and again, like you, I have a thing for bikes, though mine are bmx, a mountain bike cum cruiser bmx and a Sinclair C5 and I'm a gal so keep up the good work. xxx

If I could afford it, I would buy a brand new C8 Corvette and have it delivered to Chip's garage and tell Chip to design it like what he thinks a new C8 should look, and run like. It would be a masterpiece!

Chip Foose certainly has te technical know-how when it comes to cars. I'm guessing there isn't much he can't do. However, he really excels in his artistry. What he can envisage and produce is , every sense, a piece of art where function and beauty combine.

just the into on the design changes was fantastic

You folks don’t forget Chip builds hot rods. Anything goes. Simple.

After the e type chip did the vette should be just as amazing if not better! A one of a kind legend !

I love watching you create a masterpiece.

Chip the front grill opening need a few inches shorten from the bottom to make it inline with the black valance across, I will pop in the shop next week lol.

Chip is a genius!

Wow! Chip and his associates are outstanding in their field. State of the art always. Inspirational. Where were you in 62?

Some people have the vision, some people have the skills, some people have the taste, but very few have all of these, you do Chip, everything you do is pure art, verging on pornography.

What a beautiful machine!!

Once again, Chip and crew, you've made my day. Love this stuff!

Chip isn’t a car customizer. He is a world renowned artist who’s canvas is a car and his medium is metal and fiberglass. Lots of guys out there doing this. It’s the art that sets him apart from the crowd. I have often disagreed with some of his decisions but after seeing the finished product my reaction was always, “What was “I” thinking?”

This is professionalism at its best! I've never seen that much perfectionism!

7.40 secs. "Chip! We just cannot get these quarter bumpers to fit."...... (Chip)"if you want a job doing, do it yourself!" 😨😨 Actions speak louder than words!

Wow man your work is next level.

My 92 chevy van.beauville needs you

Wow, Chip, that 'Vette's going to look amazing!

Artist at work

Love the big Ford emblem right behind the Corvette in the beginning!!!

As a car designer it's fun the see Chip get dirty working on the cars instead of sitting in the office and giving orders.

Always a thrill, thanks Chip.

That’s an incredible amount of work and it’s all done with attention to detail.

One of the best builders and designers out there.

Chip is an amazing artist

Chip Foose is an automotive national treasure.

Bonjour Mr Foose cela fait un moment que je suis votre travaille vous êtes un magicien de l'auto vous me faite rêver avec toute ces belle voitures grand respect pour votre art Merci je vous souhaite bonne continuation.

Thanks for making this great video. My favorite Corvette years are 1953-1955.

Cant wait for the finished product

Always wanted a car built from foose

Chip beautiful work as usual. I also like it when you get Josh on camera, considering he likes to duck out of view

Do you use regular blue insulation foam and sculptors' semi-dense beige foam? in the '80s, I used a green type foam that came in 2' by 4' blocks...We carved out amusement park rides, cartoon characters and other forms out of it. The foam was covered in chopped fiberglass and resin. It was fun stuff...You could carve anything out of it. The Head Sculptor was the Maestro of Foam.

It's amazing what throwing tons of money at a car can accomplish.

Looks amazing, can’t wait to see the finished product.

Foose and his work shop do unbelievable beautiful work ! Dont like him why he's good! Lol

Chip can make a piece of rebar look good. 😎

Owning a Foose car is on my bucket list.

I’m so happy to be seeing this build, can’t wait to see it done. Excited..........

Congratulations Foose !!

I like how Foose makes his custom visions come to life

Again what a nice build!

you make this look so easy...

Really know what you need understand it first, take your time learning is a process stay focused eyes on the prizes the good the bad & confuse . Forward

Outstanding progress.

Thank you for competent fiberglass work

Awesome work Chip & his team. ❤ ur work at Foose Design 👍👌

It will be a beauty

Wow, the subtle touches.. Looks soooo good!

I'd love to see what Chip could do with a 65 Riviera

Amazing work Chip!

Excited to see finished product. As an owner of a 62 Red on Red Fuelie it is a little hard to see all the mods but will wait to see the end product.
