Foose Design ’69 Camaro Restomod Build

[@rafatrill]

My favorite part of this video is actually seeing the man himself work and getting his hands dirty I think anyone can appreciate that

[@musclecarpat68]

I agree. Unlike that walking douche Richard Rollings, Foose can run the business and build the cars. Rollings made his fame and fortune off of someone else's hard work.

[@dirt3fmodified748]

@@musclecarpat68 lets not forget the ultimate walking douche ,Dave kndig...he loves to hear himself talk about how awesome he is and self taught.. he is playing with crayons compared to chip, who to is self taught, but dose not feel the need to talk about it..he is so fricken lucky to have deep pocket customers who he can baffle with his bull shit about how great a designer he is...he is almost as narcissistic as trump

[@corail53]

@@musclecarpat68 Rollings wanted to be famous (says so himself) and found a team who also wanted that sort of glory. He was the money guy and once he had a team he pitched the show to producers. He has stated numerous times that he knows little about cars. The only reason anyone even knows rollings or aaron for that matter is because of the show. It was a cheesy tv production that was started to make people famous and not actually about the cars. Same thing as all the old discovery channel drama build shows. FOOSE on the other hand was designing and building award winning cars long before his TV debuts. Sam Foose was legendary in the car world and he certainly helped shape Chip into the builder he became.

[@brdnsky6417]

@@corail53 Yes , and Sam never got the respect he deserved. And another car builder who don't is Bill Hines. The only tv man that works and designs today is Bill of Texas Metal.

[@Gearhead-en8dz]

Let's not forget Chip takes inspiration from some very influential masters. Gene Winfield, for the "Fade" & George Barris the master of "Frenching" I suppose I should mention Boyd. But it goes beyond that also. He picks his team members well! He has an eye for detail and his "looks like factory" ideas should of came from the factory. Subtly is his Ace in the hole! Speaking of Aces, huge shout out to Mike Lavalle( may he rest in peace) ♠💀Killer Paint💀♠

FOOSE IS 1 OF THE GOATS!💪🏾💯

[@JagUriel]

Man this video came at a perfect time. Nothing like watching Foose do his work to distract you from the current madness.

[@desperadolighfoot8534]

You're right, takes you away from it all in these COVID days and under the chaos, the leaderless past 3 years we've been experiencing!!!!!

3 Years later hopefully you two have woken up and realized how bamboozled you have been? @@desperadolighfoot8534

[@davidsnyder2000]

As a bodyman of 33yrs and previous bodyshop owner, I can’t do what Chip does. He has a rare gift to see things done before they’re done. Talented individual 👍 I’m jealous lol😄

[@berner]

One of the great things about this channel is that it doesn't have two guys talking about nothing for 90% of it and then shill a bunch of products while they do it. Another great thing I like about it is that it doesn't do the "HGTV style narration" thing where the narrator says something like "Back at the shop, things are going great for Chip. But then... Johnny ordered the wrong part and they only have eighteen hours until auction...". Another thing I also like about the channel is that there's no manufactured drama either. Because of this, you guys get an additional subscriber.

[@FooseDesignInc]

Thanks and Welcome!

[@berner]

More than welcome. Dunno if you'd wanna answer but I figure I'll toss a question your way. Do you have any suggestion for a colour that compliments silver and grey for an exterior car colour? It's for a C320 that I want to mod.

[@troycharlie1852]

Chip Foose is a perfectionist. He thinks of every little detail. I love watching him on Overhaulin the TV show too.

[@hibiki54]

I remember watching Chip Foose' show on cable TV in the 2000s. A once in a lifetime talent when it comes to custom automobiles.

[@my09ultra]

You have a true gift Mr. Foose - those of us that appreciate this car's time in history thank you for your passion to make this creation. God Bless you!

[@ardogon]

I know you probably don’t care but… This car was made for my fathers best friend and it is a very very nice car he made, he did a wonderful job on it. My favorite part is when the engine is in idle, the ground shakes like no other car I’ve ever seen. It’s engine is very nice too.

[@chicagovasko]

Haven't seen Chip in about 7 years I thought he stopped working on cars. Glad to see him expressing his vision thew car art again. Man time flys.

[@dave5833]

Like a friend said “ Life is not a dress rehearsal “

[@mwrcrft]

Great execution of mild body mods that clean up the car and takes it to where designers saw it in their heads before the production suits changed it for mass production.

[@hotrodder5034]

I met Mr. Foose several times! He not just a great show car builder but he is just a good a man!! He also designed the building of Motor City Casino in Detroit,MI. Nice 69!!👍

[@danamg9328]

I saw this car when I was at Chip's shop a couple of months back, looks even more amazing in person.

[@mariobeauregard1379]

There are some car designers who tell others what to do....Chip Foose on the other hand...actually does it.There is nothing he can't do on a car, body work, mechanics, design...oh yeah he can paint too....one word....mastercraft man...start to finish!

[@rodneygonzales1227]

I agree no need for the music. I hope 1 day my el camino will look almost as good. Amazing work as always Mr. Foose

[@sladeb6036]

This man always takes the bumpers to where they should have been .

[@DrGearHeadSS]

It would be a dream come true to learn this art from Chip. I have always been a fan of his skill and attitude since I first saw him on overhaulin. My parents submitted my car to that show and I hoped everyday to see it suddenly gone and on the show.

[@mikebegay6177]

I always enjoy your shows. I wish I could meet you and my fix up my cars and truck. I can't do anything anymore. My body is not working right anymore. Because I have cancer. So thank you for your videos. God bless you and your team. .

[@floridabudgetbuilds4157]

No one really deserves a Foose car they just get lucky enough to own one. This level of craftsmanship and complete overhaul and re-engineering is priceless. You couldn't get it anywhere else.

[@carlkrewler4084]

I have such a man-crush on Chip Foose, I bet he smells like Old Spice & motor oil. He is so much "The MAN" on anything he touches. So much talent & he seems to be genuinely a nice person.

[@azharsyarawi]

This isn’t just a ride anymore, it’s a sculpture. Wow!

[@Mr_Mooo]

The attention to detail, craftpersonship, and Chip's subtle modifications to lines, rolls, and corners is what make these cars so beautiful! I miss the TV series, but so glad we can continue to watch you work here.

[@jeffreyjohn2037]

Yeah, Chip is a great Craftsman

[@highoctanestuff]

There is never any overkill in any of his builds. Always subtle touches and classy designs. That car was stunning.

[@herminigildodelacruzjr1752]

This is the man behind some of the most beautiful car designs in america that's my opinion this guy is a genius when it comes to cars aesthetic and functions

[@needtoknow204]

Absolutely awesome to see Chip Foose working on his projects!!!

[@grandwaha]

I have been following Chip Foose forever, he's definitely one of the greats of our time. From Conception to finished product genius. BUT every time I look at him I still think of Jim Breuer

[@robertroccii7117]

Chip Foose makes an amazing Restomod. It looks fantastic like always. He´s the Master of Design!!!

[@boosuedon]

You really don't need the heavy metal music when Chip is working! I just turned down the volume until I could see him talking.

[@dannywilsher4165]

Love everything Mr. Foose does!!! Music on video sucks!!! And way too loud!!!!!

[@phatridesgarage3760]

Chip Ive watched you for so many years perfecting your art, youve been a true inspiration for me and what Im creating now . Your an amazing artist

[@Hanibul_Lecktor]

I think people are commenting on the wheels because they'd rather see a Rally Style wheel done retro. This car was built for someone with certain ideas in mind. By the owner's reaction, he focused on the wheels because that's probably one area he had major influences. As a builder you don't build what you want but what the customer wants. In the end, that's a $200k+ build all day long. Well done Chip, well done.

[@lorivong3972]

I’m enjoy watching Chip working on the cars .for many years he’s really good, my hero

[@Skelm007]

If there's anybody I want to rebuild me a car, it will be this man , and only him, respect

[@jamesaustin4044]

Subtle changes that don't distract from the beauty of the original body design. I love it!

[@robh9577]

I despise resto mods, but seeing chip use the edge on a bench, and the dolly laying on top of the shear to shape metal makes me smile. Real fabricators dont need $200,000 of equipment.

[@ringfazer]

It always blows my mind when I see the result, with what attention to detail he approaches the matter. The Camaro is a dream! Many greetings from Germany.

[@Joethomasjr]

Truly wish I could afford a Foose modified/restored car. Mine would be a 68 Ford Thunderbird w/a landau top. Loved my originial 68, but had to sell it when I was in the Army. Hard to find in half decent condition now. A veterans wish will always be a veterans dream. Keep up the great work you do Mr. Foose.

[@Will-k7h]

You and me both!!👍🏾

[@yodaistheone]

Chip is gods gift to cars. Love how he can always see what the car should have been. Thank you for including us on this awesome journey

[@NigelMarston]

My uncle had a 427 Camaro SS with the speed lines (is that what they call the crease coming off the top of the wheel arches/fenders?) in the mid 1980s - IN THE UK. Over here it was even more epic than it would have been in the US. Nobody had anything like it. But this one that Chip has overhauled is utterly beautiful. I've always thought the 1969 Camaro is one of the most perfect-shape cars ever made and now in that blue with the red and white accents, it's beyond perfect. They've been steadily climbing in value the past 20 years. I keep looking at the US eBay site and thinking I should import one but I think I've missed my chance now.

[@ฟ้าอําพัน]

What a thing of beautiful. If I ever get my hands on the money i would gladly get Chip Foose to build me one of these. Love watching him work his magic.

[@juanmarrero2316]

I saw this car close up just a little while back. It belongs to my boss. He just returned from California picking it up. The car is awesome.

[@mr.the-edmeister2750]

I love that rear bumper! Reminds me of the 1969 Mustang rear bumper. I bought a '69 Z-28 in March 1969 3 months after I was released from active duty in the U.S. Navy Reserves. At that time I preferred the 1967 and 1968 Camaro model bumpers which had 'matching' bumpers front and rear, which wrapped over the sides / around the fenders. I even considered purchasing a '67 or '68 used, but the last thing my parents wanted around was a "used car" that I would be working on all the time as happened with the 1951 Olds 88, the 1955 Ford Fairlane and the 1957 Chevy 2-dr 210 I had owned before enlisting. Little did they conceive of the idea that I would "work on" a new car MORE than I had with the other 3. They just couldn't understand that their son was a "gear head" whom would "hot rod" whatever ride he owned! In 1969 the front bumper was changed to up-swept ends to blend into the grille opening which I thought was an improvement at the front; the rear bumper design 'bugged me' though. Overall that up-swept design at the front was incongruous with the rear bumper which was used all 3 years of that 1st generation. IMO, Chip corrected that incongruity, something that I don't recall ever seeing before; and I have seen many rear bumper mods on 1969's over the years. Usually the rear bumper is narrowed and recessed into the rear quarter panels, and painted body color front and rear similar to the late 1969 optional "rubber" covered front bumper which only became available after the model would have become a 1970 model and was produced until the end of the calendar year. Officially there was no 1970 model due to Chevrolet rushing the 2nd gen Camaro into production as a 1970 1/2 model due to the Mach I "killing" the Camaro in sales. That incongruity in design was done by other auto manufacturers in that era, too. The 1st and 2nd gen Mustangs had roughly the opposite "mistake" in design until 1971. The Mustang's had a rear bumper that was up-swept and the front wrapped rearward over the front fenders like the 1969 and 1968 Camaro, which I think GM copied from Ford.

[@georgef1176]

So glad you ended up changing the stock steering wheel. Great build Chip!

[@jakespeed63]

Despite being sick n tired of ‘69 Camaro’s, this one is fantastic. Incredible attention to detail, as usual. Love the color combo. Why did they remove the factory steering wheel????? Rear tires are too wide, in my opinion. Can only imagine what this cost. $$$??? Who are these idiots with the thumbs down???? Probably people that have no clue what it takes to build anything. Bravo 👏 JT: Orlando Florida

[@MAC-ws8fz]

Haven't we outgrown the ridiculous heavy metal yet? Yes! And the color is GAUDY!

[@TralfazConstruction]

This color, more or less, did exist when my buddy had his '69 Camaro circa 1975 or so. It was, in memory, more a carbon paper blue. He was constantly getting offers at stoplights, convenience store parking lots, etc. to sell the car to many interested prospective buyers. It was kinda cool the fuss people made. He did finally sell and bought a '77 Z-28 which he sold in '80 when he married his high school sweetheart; a tale as old as time. She knew him best, after all. _My_ wife (we married in '76) wouldn't let me near a sports car because she _knew_ me.

[@lt7automotive931]

Larry -- You might not like it and that's fine. But there's no such thing as outgrowing the metal. You're either in it or you're not. And gaudy? Well, compared to most OEM colors of today's cars it's bright. But a medium blue for a hot rod gaudy -- I think you're stretching the definition. Nobody's gonna try to make you like it.

[@kidwave1]

A video spotlighting a car stereo company, and no sample of the system playing.... These guys are idiots!

[@jeffreyjohn2037]

What you don't see on the video about the color is the depth of the pearl in the paint. I saw it in person, and the finish really pops.
