Foose Design Hand Built Roadster "Impression" Full Length Walkthrough

[@DavidGuyton]

Even after the extensive explanation, I don't think the average person would realize just how incredible this car is. I think even the owner is still finding new details to admire to this day. This is the height of art.

[@jeffyoder8105]

I agree 100% David having built a couple of cars myself I'm most impressive thing to me is the amount of time I'm thinking it took to build the car since so much of it was hand built as they were putting the car together, so I'm sure there are many, many hours worth of time in hand making all the parts that were created before the car was put together and finished and I'm thinking only Chip has a clue how many man hours went into the building and finishing of "impression"😊😮😂😅😊

[@driverjamescopeland]

I love how Chip never fails to give credit where it's due... and it's almost always what "we did", and very seldom what "I did". Even when he does not his personal touches, you can tell it's not boasting... it's passionate.

[@deezulhauler403]

oh you remember that from the good ol' days before the woke and politically correct and all the other nonsense we see today... It's called being a good person, a decent human being. it's really quite simple but quickly fading far away in the world! Chip is tops in every respect!

[@arianez5380]

Pure genius. That is about as close to perfection as anything I have ever seen. The craftsmanship is beyond words.

[@ontarioequipmentsales5729]

It really is! its amazing! hope they made a manual to work on it in the future, bc good luck!! lol

[@channaw.3538]

Absolutely!!

[@StevenJohnson-yy8zx]

I've come to a conclusion. That is Chip Foose is untouchable in the automotive industry, hands down!!! You can tell not only by the tangible automotive art he has created but also in which the way he speaks about his automotive art he's created! I also want to give a shout out to the technicians or as Chip would say his team, along with Chip Foose they craft and mold this automotive art and are also on another level! Thank you to all of you!

[@extremeenduro1560]

I visited Chip at his shop and was extremely lucky that Impression was there at the time. The car is pure artwork and totally stunning. Chip is an awesome person and he drew a 32 Ford on a shirt and signed it to me and my wife. Thanks Chip, you are the man.

[@GreyWolfe]

I wish I had the money to have you use your amazing talent to rebuild my dad's 1940 Chevy Special Deluxe Coupe. He sold it in 1976 and died in a car accident two months later. After searching for 38 years, I found it and was able to purchase it. It has sat in my garage for seven years because I don't have the skill or knowledge to rebuild it and mod it like I have envisioned. But, I'm going to man up and start on it. I hope that I can do a good enough job that my dad would have been proud. By the way, your work is outstanding, I love seeing the finished cars. You are a true visionary. Thanks for making and sharing your videos.

[@12mikeg12]

@@mauriceandrews2723 and if the living didn't cost money, shops didn't cost money, employees didn't cost money then of course... do your absolute best at ever moment and every turn... but in the real world you can't spend 1000 hours on a build that has a 500 hour budget... this is why "time and materials" billing is the only way to remain true to always being able to perform at your very best.

[@foadrightnow5725]

It's easy to see why Chip Foose won the Builder of the Decade award! His work truly is next level quality!

[@LV4EVR]

If any car's design and build could make you cry, this would be it.

[@HKB-1]

His work is on a completely different level to anyone else. A total genius.

[@billlittlejohn2331]

This man is pure genius. Yes there are other excellent designers but I do believe that he's in a class by himself. Magnificent automobile. It absolutely deserved the Riddler award . As I've heard said, It's all in the details.

[@plymouth-hl20ton37]

I hate to imagine the hundreds if not thousands hours that you have put into that car oh my gosh total work of art

[@dalehall2993]

Over 8000 hrs

[@edjackson4389]

Marcel and Luc deserve 45% of the credit for what you see when you look at this car. Chip is talented and has vision, but shaping those body panels is a high art

[@ianmcewan5267]

Just saw this on the 2021 SEMA show feed. It is, and remains, an all time classic. What a tribute to Chip and his team of craftsmen. Chip, you appear to be a humble genius. For all of your work, and for all the work to come, please accept my thanks for the inspiration your builds provide to us mortals. You are a true legend and the man behind an incredible, timeless, magical work of art. Yes, you are only as good as your customers allow you to be - but nobody else but you could be THAT good!

[@jeffyoder8105]

I've seen other builds of Chip's in other videos and in magazine coverage of the other car shows he's had cars in and I've always been impressed with Chip's creativity ,it's like tell him what your "dream car would look like and whether you provide him with a car or are lucky enough to be able to pay for a hand built Chip Foose "original " I'm thinking you'll end up with the car of your dreams 😊😊😊😅😂😊❤

[@danielgentili1320]

The patience and dedication to scale up from a drawing to reality is incredible. Wow!

[@edwardtiangco1445]

I love coming back to this episode. Never gets old. Hope you, your family and your automotive family is safe, Chip.. Also to the people reading this. Take care everyone.

[@k.k.hickey4624]

Timeless all this time later. Beautiful work Chip.

[@customledandfiberopticsinc2756]

This is pure genius! Other "builders" don't truly build an entire car. They start with a platform and build off that and make no mistake, that takes talent but this, this is truly an art form.

[@jamespennington9719]

Really appreciate Chip taking his time and giving such a good presentation of what he does! Thanks Chip!

[@karmaputra]

There's no doubt that 'Impression' has a jaw dropping look and design. What a masterpiece 😱😱😱

[@giga1tr]

For 15 years, I'm in love with this car. I have never seen anything better. A real piece of art.

[@kentkarlsson8277]

So happy you picked Boyd after school instead of the Big threes. Your eye for design and craftsmanship is superb, congrats to all your success just like Harald Belker

[@izom]

...piece of art and one of the most beautiful cars ever!!

[@darkridge]

"I've put tens of thousands of hours into customizing and perfecting this car! I've made sure there's no detail overlooked. There's no way I'll get less than top honors!" "But Chip Foose is competing." ". . . Second place it is, then."

[@lordterrabyte1417]

The amount of job satisfaction must be intense, what a thing of beauty.

[@2nickles647]

From a simple drawing and it blossomed. Then many talented artists touch and move metal to what's it now. Then the paint works. The upholstery. I'm just in awe of the final car as it sits. I'm just stunned...no word's..

[@robertkopp873]

As much as it is visually pleasing, and the craftsmanship is impeccable, the "finishing touch", in my opinion is that - it SOUNDS so good!

[@johnwayne2103]

Yeap and when you have a lot of money you pay for it.

[@medihedayati9132]

Mr Chip foose’s attention to detail is just amazing.that is why he is the king when it comes to customising a car.

[@TheFaustianMan]

This car - it took my breath away. Literally ever part in awe.

[@raylarkin5004]

I have seen maybe 3 or 4 of These free hand upstyles by Chip and I just get in my comfy chair and watch him grab air and make magic. The cat has a beautiful philosophy "there are no rules". Thank you Chip.👍

[@fizzwhistler]

I have been a successful commercial sculptor and model maker in my career but I am humbled by the accomplishments of Chip Foose and his wonderfully talented crew. WOW!!!

[@painmonke2940]

You are my favorite builder chip, mainly because your attention to detail is second to none

[@Tmrfe0962]

Mr. Foose....first off thank you, for taking the time to go over every inch of your work of art. This was like hearing Leonardo DiVinci go through one of his master pieces. What an absolute pleasure to see how your craftsman who work with you, pull such an amazing piece together, I particularly liked when you instructed them to pretend the piece they were working on would be viewed as a center piece....looks like they did...flawless is a word thrown around all too after, it absolutely applies here. Thank you again and please post often, we enthusiasts really appreciate it.

[@matthammond7570]

We can all see why Impression won! What an absolutely beautiful piece of artwork! Fabulous job as always by the Foose team!

[@esdeekay4344]

Imagine this car, parked in Your house on a glass floor so You could see it from the floor below... Man, what a car...I totally love it...

[@qbfx]

Wow, just saw that car, it really is flawless and so much more. The sheer amount of engineering, finishing and installing every piece, like especially on the underside of the car. I genuinely cannot imagine a better job, foresight, persevering, engineering knowledge and frankly the time and money put into this. It literally is flawless and then some. It's like the absolute best that car could ever be. Beautiful!

[@elchapo6659]

hey Mr.Foose thank you for the tour, this car should be in a museum it's beyond this rhelm

[@Motown454]

I love hearing your description of this build, your like a kid with his favorite new toy. The excitement in your voice makes anybody watching as excited as you are waiting for the next part to be described. That's why your as good as you are, your passion. Thanks for the tour!

[@craigbarrett2278]

Saw some of the detail videos a few years ago....impressed to get a full overview. No denying talent and tenacity!😊

[@mikecoates3039]

The thought process from front to back on this car is amazing. Every detail is just spot on. I would be proud as punch to drive and own this.

[@mrmcbeardy9268]

Mr Foose is a true master of the modern world. Foose is what you get, when Einstein and Leonardo Di Vinci end up rolled into one person, with the heart of a mystic. But yet also so humble with any praise he gets for his tremendous designs. Design innovation like this is one of the sweetest things about life - the ability to create... and to create for the sheer love of it. When we create form love, it gives something to Universe, and in turn, we feel it come back to us many-fold (pun intented). I great admire and respect your work Mr Foose. Your work is always so harmonic and holistic. congruent and fluid. Your pursuit of beauty in creation is inspiring on a deeper human level. May you be safe, healthy and happy as can be during these difficult times. Namaste 🙏

[@sharkamov]

Nothing beats watching the creation coming from the hands of a *Master builder* (& his devoted team!). No production built automobile can ever rival this jewel . . . . . .⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@Fantabilooslik]

My Favourite Chip Foose design car by far. Pure genius. It's all about attention to details

[@velvetplatz1024]

What an awesome work of art!! This is the most beautiful piece of machinery I've ever seen. You always find a way to out do yourself...and you did it with this beauty....hard to believe it's 15 years old, it looks like it just rolled out of your shop yesterday. Keep up the AMAZING work. Thanks for the tour.

[@161983a]

Mr. Foose i saw your abilities to design from several years on TV with other shows also....but need less to say there is huge difference ...............................u r pure passionate about your work.....

[@peterwhitman5575]

Chip, I've been a fan of your work it seems forever, and no matter what you never fail to IMPRESS with those beautiful lines giving your designs that touch of class and power it's pure art that effortlessly functions. You and your team are true artisans. Thanks, especially in these times it's great to sit back and enjoy the Magic. SINCERELY Peter Whitman

Foose is King, what a genius to build a stunning work of art like that. His ideas are mind blowing. Incredible .

[@Zyworski]

I was known for being "detail oriented" when I used to work on Vettes, but you are way over the top!!

[@ScottyLo]

There’s next level and then there’s Chip Foose next level. That’s one amazing rolling peace of artwork that runs and drives.

[@patrickhotra9241]

You are definitely in a class by yourself. I've seen the work of other automotive artists, but yours stands apart for artistry, precision, design, and execution.

[@jimburig7064]

For all his accomplishments Chip defers to the man he collaborated with on the creation of this beautiful car. He is a consummate gentleman.

[@johnwayne2103]

I remember this car when they first rolled it out. Just stunning. Incredible walk through. Filling that up with gas is a lesson in patience because of where the filler is. Chip is holding up the trunk lid so to be safe you need two people to fill it up with gas.

[@savneetsinghrairai6823]

He made it prefect blend of craftsmanship and new tek...gives a timeless design its a crazy sexy ...I watched 100 of times on discovery turbo...still can't get enough ...attention to detail is amazing

[@snailer06]
