I met Chip Foose years ago in Toronto. He is one of the nicest, most down to earth guys I've ever met. Truly gifted and talented car designer and builder.

Chip did our son's car in 2006. on Overhaulin. It was and still is a masterpiece.! They arranged a theft of his 1969 Mustang convertible from his home with the help and knowledge of the local police department, his wife, brother mother and myself. The car design was taken from what my son had aways told me he wished he could do to his car...Chip nailed it. Our son still has the car and re-runs of the show and a Foose Special can be seen once in a while (Mustang Sting). Thanks Chip for making a dream come true. Your are a true gentleman and artist. The drama was worth it to see my son's reaction to seeing his car recovered and his dream come true. If you ever see thepisode you will know what. I mean. Many workers on Chip's team were volunteers who had the own cars on the show..

Nice to see Jessica Combs….for me, she was the light in this show. She is dearly missed!

Overhaulin' was one of the better automotive related shows BECAUSE it didn't feed you that fake drama (stuff broke, worker quit, parts didn't show, etc). RIP Jessi Combs

From what I know of Chip Foose he is a great person he treated my son very well at a car show three times

What a lovely man... The show is all about changing lives. Awesome episodes that are watched over again. The team that's involved overseen by Chip is equally passionate with his direction and articulate design and love for cars. There's no west coast boom boxed customs here just original passionate enthusiasts that bring life and love into old cars.

Non car people will never understand that putting together a complete car in 8 days is almost impossible. This show did such amazing work and really did everthing right.

I have a former hood rodding buddy from high school days in Los Angeles who still owns his first rodder: a ‘68 Plymouth GTX. Now 52 years out of high school pushing 70 years old, I would love to see his MOPAR restored to original mint condition especially since it is not far from original.

We want Overhaulin back, we love watching this show.

I met chip Foose at a Lowe’s in Irvine, California, very nice man we talked for a few minutes and we went on our way

I wish there were a chance that my 99 GMC Jimmy would be a good candidate for a project. It is in great shape with no rust and one small dent in the driver's door. But it has over 200,000 miles on it. It still doesn't leak or smoke.

Great show, enjoyed it thru all the years but like anything over time it just had run it's course. Thanks Chip & your gang for a good time.

I just ran into him a few weeks ago. Very humble down to earth guy.

Chip,Always loved your dedication to building cars and helping the people that owned them i would have loved you building one of mine. Best wishes on your future endeavors. Dennis

Foose is a very talented man. One of his stand out to me is his ability to draw and color his designs on paper before bringing the car to life. Wished i had half his talent.

Met him at the airport in Phoenix, AZ. I let him finish his burrito before asking if he was Chip Foose. He introduced me to his wife and said they were going to a charity event to raise money for kids. I told him I did not want to take up too much of his personal time but he really did not care. He is a great guy.

Chip is a tremendously talented car designer and builder. He also seems like a genuine person who truly cares for his customers. If I had the money, Chip is my choice. God Bless him with Health, Success and Happiness

Loved "OverHauling" with Chip and the Overhauling crew. Really loved the episode that the guys pranked John Force and restored his little school bus.

Chip impressed the heck out of me… I find him incredibly talented ! Loved Overhaulin 😍

I often wondered that if they were really happy with the modifications that was done to the car because they didn't ask that person they asked somebody that was doing it for them

Mr Foose enjoy life.Dedicated so much time,it's your turn to overhaul yourself.Take care 👍❤️

I encountered Chip at the World of Wheels in St. Paul, MN years ago. He seemed a very decent man. My favorite Overhaulin episode is when they stole Chip’s ‘56 Ford pickup and, secretly modified it to Chip’s drawings. Boy, Chip was overwhelmed when they revealed it to him at the SEMA show.

Foose and team did amazing work, plus the show was entertaining and informative. I remember the episode with Depp and Amber and they made fools of themselves. The look on Foose's face said it all. I miss the show.

I miss Overhaulin, I looked forward to every episode.

Seen Chip around Huntington Beach every once in a while. Never talked to him even though we probably have a lot in common...figured he would prefer not to be hit up by a fan boy while at DelTaco. To answer the question posed I can honestly say that I take comfort in the fact that my herd of unrestored original/ rust free/ issue free Mustangs are resting comfortably in another undisclosed state now. I could see my friends watching Overhaulin and thinking that turning to him to restomod one of them would help me out. Needless to say, as much respect as I have for Foose, if that happened I would have a total cow. Folks collect cars for different reasons...I actually enjoy the challenge of restoration and the patience it instills in me especially in this new world of instant bolt-on gratification.

I never met Chip. But I stood with my wife 25' from him for about 45 minutes while attending Corvettes at Carlisle. He came out of a tent to a podium where he met a large crowd with a warm greeting. In a 2 hour line up waiting to obtain his autograph was a boy with a homemade model of a car. He was about 10 years old. Everyone in the line got to take a photo with Chip and get his autograph. When it was the boys turn, Chip took the model into his hands and started asking the young man questions about it. The boy explained how he had made the model and why. While others got 30 seconds with Chip, the boy got 5 minutes. Chip wanted to know everything about the kid's car. He was truly engaged and encouraging to the young man and both their eye contact and expressions had us blown away. The sincerity and the time allotment he gave to this creative young and future auto designer was over the top. But was it? Of course. This is the man Chip Foose. A talent extraordinaire and a gentleman.

Chip Foose, Is a cut above the rest, Love you Chip🚗🚗🚗💖💖💖

Always enjoyed Overhaulin. There was one episode though where a subject had his classic Pontiac Firebird overhauled. At the presentation, when they popped the hood, the look on his face when he saw that replacement Chevy engine was priceless. Real classic Pontiac guys wanted none of that.

Awesome job on the episode! Loved seeing Jessi again. Miss her!

We just love watching Overhaulin every morning while having breakfast. Even re-runs. Sure they might be some hickups with people and machines but overall it's amazing. Sad to hear it's not having another season.

we miss you Jessica Combs ..........

Chip Foose Rocks! 1 year younger than me. I also used to work on and fix up real old cars back in the day and drove them around but not to that extent. I was just a poor boy back then as I am a poor man today.

Cool video...thanks for posting!!

Think Chip is way better than Boyd... By far

I remember his wheels many of years before the show came out. A legend of a design artist. Great guy 👍

Loved the show!!!! No drama .Could have done without the prank portion though.

Love and will always love the show no matter the drama and fake sensation created to make KZfaq content!!

Great show, still aired regularly in Australia. Would loved to have seen what he could have done with some classic Aussie muscle cars.👍🍺

NOPE...I'M OUT...91 NISSAN SENTRA XE 5 Spd I LIVE IN IT...AS OF 6/27/22 I am in Arkansas getting ready to come home.. I normally hang in Hesperia & Apple Valley...LOVED YOUR DESIGNS AND SHOWS...!!! I met the former GM Designer of the Miata...I saw the model under his arm pit as he answered the door...I did auto glass then...and he was an insured...FOOSE...YOU HAVE KNOCKED MY SOX OFF SO MANY TIMES...!!! GLAD TO HAVE SEEN THIS VIDEO!!!

Have you ever herd on “Don’t look a gift in the mouth” nor should you sue it. Chip will be just fine. Truly one of the genuinely nice people on earth. His talent and creativity are to be respected and revered.

Unlike what Boyd Coddington liked to ell people about ChipFoose leaving and stealing all of his Best Employees the reality back then was Chip did leave CoddingtonHot Rods to go out on his own and at that time Chip just had more oppurtunity thanCoddington had plus Boyd wasn’t that great of aBusiness man anyway and that shop had its fair share of Problems that often Stemmed fromBoyds gigantic Ego , over 25 years ago i worked for a man that had similiar Characteristics of Boyd and Business Practices and throughout the years all of that man’s best and most talented Employees also left that Company for more and better Oppurtunities the Majority of GrownMen don’t care for Drama and other Useless Problems in their WorkEnviorment Ironically i personally was one of the first to leave not because i am UnLoyal but it was tone of the best things i ever did as i stayed at the new Company for over 35 years and was treated extremely well

Loved this (Overhaulin) show!

I worked with his dad before we lost him when he lived in canyon lake he was the most talented man I have ever met wish he was still with us

I met Chip at Sema, hes a cool dude.

To me when Chip did a car he did the whole car. Some shows just leave rusty undercarriage parts and slap new parts onto it. Also none of the extra drama other than the time crunch. Not a fan of rushing restorations

Good to know that chip Foose is still around building cars

He reminds me of a young Micky Rooney

Love Chip Foose love his work wish I would have gotten my truck done by him

Chip is a legend! What an amazing eye for design and fabrication.

I've been a fan of Foose for about 20 years absolutely fueled my passion for custom cars growing up

Yeah Overhaulin was on before 2003. I hurried home to watch it after work and it was recorded and that was in 2001!

Love Foose and his Drawings especially 😍 💕

This was a great show awesome cast .

My favorite episode was when they overhauled Chips pick up. Truly a heart-warming.

He graduated one of the best transportation design companies in the county. A very very expensive school so I'm not surprised he had to leave and come back. He was a prodigy pretty much though from what I heard from a fellow Alumni. I also went there but for another program.

Great to see Jessi again. R.I.P.

Foose is quite a designer and his A team are all hand picked by Foose. Many of which worked for Boyd Coddington including Foose, Boyd had a way of being a soar sport when his people wanted to quit and go there own way! I have a admiration for Boyd from his early creations! However I wouldn't want to work for him!

That smile! 6:05 RIP Jessie you are missed.

Always used to fast forward the "prank" part,seems to me too much. But ,looking th Chip Foose & hist team of A-Grade experts working - always a pleasure!!!

Not to speak ill of the dead, but after watching some of Boyd Coddington's show - it would appear he parted ways with a lot of his employees badly. He might have been a great car designer, but he seemed to be very angry most of the time.

I would like to see a new show with Foose and team doing cars but with a different premise. Not The old show but something cool.

love that show. Miss many of the shows like this from the early 2000's to mid 2000's . After like 2009/10 tv and movies went all to hell. Foose is brilliant.

Chip could steal my car anytime!! Love his work!!

Hi there I'm here watching from Panama 🇵🇦

Foose is a legend.

Best car show ever! No window dressing here just top to bottom rebuild. Who wouldn't want a nut & bolt resto/mod of a loved car. I'd have given anything to be on that show with my 69 Firebird as long as it was a colour I want he could do anything he sees fit to rod it

When my car was stolen I was hoping that it would be on overhauling, but it wasn't.

Loved the show; didn't care for the pranks however.

I Loved The Show!

Foose is an artist. Take one over a Boydster any day of the week.

Dunno if they're still available but I have many prints of cars from overhaulin on my walls. The quality is/was pretty awesome.

It was a fun show... but the part I really didnt like is the "mark" got their ride overhauled, while not having any say or input in the process. How would you like to have an old car, and a binder full of plans for that car and then POOF! "look! we did it for you, and we didnt ask about what you wanted to do!" Sure, it would be exciting to have the car done, but also disappointing to miss the whole transformation.

If I ever had the money, I would get a great car and take it to Chip Foose. His cars are awesome! I loved the show where the mark punched Chris in the face. He DID NOT see that coming. LOL

The man loved Bondo,,

I had a Chip Foose steering wheel cover on my Chinese made small truck for 5 years. Bought it at Walmart.

I miss Jessica Combs. She was my favorite person on Overhaulin'. R.I.P.

Amazing talent.

I also met Chip at SEMA, he truly is a down to earth car guy. I had a great conversation with him. As far as having my car hijacked and overhauled...No, I would not be in favor of that, even if it was Chip to the job.

I'd love to have my 1977 F150 Ranger XLT 4x4 overhauled. Besides tune-up parts tires and rims it's still in original bone stockjj factory configuration. She's been a trustee workhorse showing some patina. Been so good to me I just can't trade it in or sell it.

I've always wanted to see a show called "Quick and Quiet." Where car is converted to electric and then goes head to head with the same ICE model .

In 2012, I submitted my neighbors 68 Pontiac LeMans to Overhaulin and it was accepted. Chip, Adam and two others came out and evaluated the car. Months later they decided on another car and all communication stopped. It was exciting while it lasted, and it was fun to meet Chip. Chip now has his own KZfaq channel and is trying his best to resurrect his shop.

He'll yes I'd love to see what he'd do with my gto it's rare 06 maybe not vintage but the last of the breed

Damn that made us watch two commercials right off the bat🙄🙄

Chip is noway near Carroll Shelby! he is the king of the exhaust system , weird wheels and paint jobs.

I always wondered that myself

Has anybody else won 4 Riddler awards...?!? Amazing...! But I prefer stock, or factory looking cars with modern under-pinnings... Thanks, keep up your awesomeness and don't forget to compliment someone today...

Fun fact... on the Racers ride at Disneyland, he did the design and artwork for the hoods

I still have a DVD copy of when he customized a John Deer 4020😂

You can't compare a dream car that wins the Riddler award to an Overhaulin project done in a week. If I won the Powerball, Chip building a car for me is one of the first things I would do with the money. 56 T-Bird restomod that will be candy red, with a completely new chassis, IRS, pushrod suspension, Voodoo engine and 6 speed. Let Chip decide the body modifications.

Loved his tv shows

Overhauling was good early on, but that Johny Depp episode shows the problem that killed it. Early on the impression was most, if not, all the early "marks" were every day people, who could use a hand finishing the car. Johny Depp is worth 10s, 100s of millions. He didn't need help

My favorite was the XKE. I need to get the paint formula, I would like to do a tribute C6 to the marine Corp...same color. Semper fi...

Chip is a great guy, plus super talented.

Holy shit I just had to come here to say he got so many awards. I never knew that much

Chip is my all time favorite

His big brake was daddy 💯👌

I've seen every episode of overhauln and I would love for my project car to be on it

Id trust Foose 150% with any project car of mine... the guy has talent that is rare and top notch. As long as he doesnt paint it yellow... hahaha

Chip is a legend. He has big dollar deals.

Would love to do an overall and on my friends 69 Cutlass convertible
