CHIP FOOSE WINS 2005 RIDLER AWARD AT DETROIT’S AUTORAMA


Check it out

 

that's the number one show in the country!!

he's the best. haven't seen one of his vehicles i haven't liked.

 

Good for him. I love the stuff Chip does and from what I have seen on Overhaulin, he hasn't let the fame go to his head (like say Jesse James...). He still seems like a fun easy going guy.

 

Dang & we didn't make it out there this year.

 

Is this the one Charlie left Boyds shop for so he could paint it?

 

I believe so.

 

Chip Foose and Jesse James are the best builders in what they do.


The stuff they both make looks awesome!

 

Awesome. Foose does top notch work!

 

I think Jesse is just sick of all the attention. I do however think cottington's went to his head and thinks his chit dont stink.

Good for Foose and for Charlie.

 

Oh yeah, boyd coddington is a *****. I try to watch that show, but I cant stand him so I usualy find something else to watch.

I love Chip Foose though, he seems like an excelent guy and extreemely talented. His cars blow me away.

 

The management styles of Foose and Coddington really come out in the final product, don't they?

From watching American Hotrod, Coddington comes off as not a very nice guy. For those of you that don't know it, Chip Foose was president of Boyd Coddington Enterprises for quite awhile, and then took the customer and supplier lists and opened his own shop.

Chip works purely on time and material. He'll only give ballpark estimates on how much it will cost but he'll guarantee you that you'll have the best car that can be built--period. Coddington will give you a nice car, but I'm not sure I could spend $250,000 on a car they're rushing to put together.
