Foose Design Jaguar E-Type Roadster - Metalwork Complete!

[@andrewthomas7129]

A superb lesson on how to take something which is already perfect and totally bugger it up !!!

[@stuartbratt-lr9nx]

Only an American could be so arrogant

[@christopherstokes616]

In my opinion, Chip Foose is a visionary. He and his crew are true artisans .

[@donngrimes6179]

I saw this car at SEMA. It is a totally custom interpretation of the Jaguar. Absolutely awesome. None of the photos that I have seen capture the true beauty of this car or that phenomenal paint job- its beautiful. What an awesome vision to bring about this transformation. For my British cars friends that are appalled... get over it!! You say nothing when someone converts a 40 year old survivor into a race car. So step back and appreciate the fact that Foose transformed this survivor into a wonderful work of art that truly compliments the ideal and vision of Jaguar.

[@next0845]

Having worked with metal for many years, to see that jag sat there in bare metal, just shows the high levels of metal working craftsmanship displayed by your staff!!!!!!

[@allowmi]

I think Chip will have more than a few "casual observers" from Jaguar strolling by. It's always satisfying to see a job not just done right, but with just the right amount of attention to detail. Looking forward to the unveiling.

[@matthewtelder7867]

Love the concept, being a jag fan disappointing foose didn’t use the v12. That’s what makes jaguar iconic.

[@keysersoze1296]

So I have decided that if there were to be a royal family of hot rod builders Chip would certainly be considered among them. Sir Chip, thank you for all you do to keep us petrol heads drooling. Your art is awe inspiring! Never falter in leading the charge toward the innovation & originality only you can envision. Stand fast & stand true. I bid you peace, Sir!

[@johnschuster9192]

You go for it Chip!Your designs are over the top every time....I do tiny amounts of body work and understand how many man hours goes into a small project...Nothing but "fantastic" each time I see another Foose work of art..I only wish my dad took the time to teach like yours did for you...

[@impactajuvenile]

Every time I hear you talk about your dad it makes me want to cry, I know how much he meant to you and how much he taught you. He must have been a great father? Besides his amazing talents in car building.

[@junglejonny1000]

It is so refreshing to see such a genius... being so humble. I often think of the difference between being a manager and a leader, Chip is a leader.

[@truckerenoch8824]

You rarely ever see an engineer or architect put so much blood, sweat and tears into their design! I bet his crew is *fiercely* loyal to him! Big brain, big talent and *HUGE* heart!!!

[@orlandovera4046]

As far back as I can remember, ever since the first episode of overhauled, I wanted to see Chip get a hold of this model of car...and knew he could do something incredible and make it unbelievably awesome....glad to see it finally happened and I WAS RIGHT!

[@brokebikemtb4448]

This car has transitioned into a work of art....great job guys...the fab work is unreal

[@edwinbonilla7986]

I am sure if he doesn't already have it, Foose deserves the title of "Master Craftsman". The level of artistry in his cars is unbelievable

[@TPQ1980]

That's a beautiful synthesis of classic British design and classic American craftsmanship. Great to see these beautiful old shapes given a competent update by skilled craftspeople!

[@jean-pierrejrdubuc4912]

I love gelato ice cream as much as I love olive oil, but there's no such thing as mixing them together... XKE is not a 'vette as 'vette best color isn't British Racing green... You can't mix classics ! Imagine Beethoven mixed with Mozart ! Damn !!! Maybe a DJ will try that now ;-)

[@goyoTD]

Foose, I for sure know and am convinced of you being a life bringer / materializer of dreams and the fuel is pure love for what you do. Respect!

[@michaelcoulter714]

Wow Chip you have done it again ! Beautiful...you are and your crew are amazing.

[@canitogalicia]

Mr. Goose! I met you at Pasadena art design school back in the 80 s. you corrected me one one of my designs. At the time, thought to myself this guy is nuts...now I regret not following your foot steps....great work, great craftsmanship mr Foose...

[@davisdesigns1153]

Just want to say thank to Chip Foose, he got me into drawing cars at a young age, and I'm currently studying to become a car designer myself🙌

[@ogplboogiemangonzo7129]

Art at its best .Nice job guys .👍👍👍👌

[@artownend]

If the New York Museum of Modern Art Had an exhibition of Mr. Foose's great work I would travel from here in the Arctic Watershed of Canada to see it and enjoy the recognition he so richly deserves !

[@simontallboy209]

Wow. It's gorgeous!! It takes alot of confidence (balls) to take on quite possibly the prettiest design ever. Love it.

[@hardlyworkin3603]

Mr. Ferrari thought this was the most beautiful car ever designed. Only Chip Foose can turn it into a piece of art worthy of the description, masterpiece. He is a genius at design. Thank GOD he does not have to finish this in 5 days.

[@carloborromeo5595]

I just adore Foose design ideas. Everything has the attention to detail plus the manual labor involved, you can really appreciate all the love and labor poured into this beauty. Keep up the good work guys!👍🏻 Greetings from the Philippines!🇵🇭

[@coleve8596]

The heart of an E Type is its engine and you have just ripped the soul out of this car regardless of your motives.

[@buckhorncortez]

Sure...and the Lucas electrics make it really special...

[@rondyechannel1399]

I agree, if you wanted something different than the v12, how about a early 4.2 with twin turbo's, for power. And then there is the issue of an automatic trans!

[@treytucker5619]

If you have ever owned a Jaguar V12 you would revel in the idea of an LS swap.

[@rafo6577]

Hat's off to Chip and the team. Beautiful car, amazing detail and a superb tribute to one iconic car. I wish more people had this kind of pride in their work, it's sadly lacking these days. 👍👍

[@seanm8030]

The parts that foose did not redesign are nice.

[@davidcraddock7011]

so much talent and skills under one roof, just overwhelming

[@marcmaza2821]

david craddock my cousin on this show! 👊🏼

[@michaelhofer9149]

Mr. Foose you are a metal crafting GOD! I bow to you omnipotence! I loved “OverHaulin’” and I’m really happy I found your KZbin channel!

[@mikestrucks]

Wow ! You guys are all artists 👌🏻👍🏻

[@Anne6621]

everyone has opinions , good bad or indifferent , it matters not , but what impresses me is this mans mega talent , to take an already pretty automobile and giving it this kind of facelift how can you not like it , i love it !

[@markletts2000]

"It's not gonna smack you in the face with how wild it is,it's going to smack you in the face because it's so elegant".....You made my day,Respect on so many levels,.👏🙂🇬🇧

[@ChrisHondaProductions]

I believe the top gear/grand tour guys are salivating over this car !!! Beautiful!!!!! Foose you are the man the legend!!!!

[@dew2667]

As usual, every component is a piece of artwork......the end product will be stunning!!

[@satamanschmidt3428]

The unbelievable skill isn't the most impressive part of Chip Foose. It's that fact that with all of that talent he's still a nice guy and humble. Seldom do these things go together.

[@carsfabio]

I can not wait to see the finished product. it already looks absolutely amazing , but in my opinion, dam near anything Chip does is just stunning.

[@robertovoi5803]

Fosse & Team you guys are amazing!!

[@trevortagliabue5650]

l realise the Coddington/Foose history, but Chip is the Leonardo of the custom car universe. He's the only designer l know who can take an elegant, vintage car and transform it into a new-age, contemporary concept completely at home in the 21st century. The sublime and subtle changes defy description. Craftsmanship and manufacturing integrity are the core principles of wonderful design...stunning, simply stunning....some of his changes are almost invisible, but you know they're there. No grumpiness either... Cheers - Trevor

[@oldhoosier2]

WOW!!! May be my favotite Foose design yet. Masterpiece! As for cutting classic cars...There will always be plenty of people restoring to original.

[@JimmyJamm]

Foose is not only a true artist he is a hell of a guy. The world needs more humble talented people and less self promoting hacks.

[@ernied3123]

One of the greatest designers working on one of the greatest cars. It doesn’t get much better than that. Thanks for the video.

[@haydenlogston2164]

Ernie D one of the greatest and world renowned designed it in the first place. He took a classic and turned it into something else thats going to be dated in 10yrs. The original design was timeless. Im a fan of Chips but really an E type? That is painful to watch.

[@joeyjoejums]

"If we had started out with Series One, people would want to cut our heads off." LOL! He's right and he knows it. Glad he addressed that right off the bat.

[@marcwire9332]

it is great to see a level of craftsmanship on par with the old boys of the past. wonderful

[@nobeldnoble7048]

Design and craftmanship as we can expect !....props to the whole team!....thank you for the vid mr foose!

[@indycustommade3568]

Growing up in the '70s this has to be my all-time favorite car. I remember having a 1/24th scale model of this car in British Racing Green. It was something to do with the large hood that really made me fall in love with this car. I would love to have Foose design and build me a car. His attention to detail is so amazing. I remember watching the series he had on tv where he would walk with the person after the car was complete and explain all the small details that you would miss if not told. Dreams...

[@boldorboy08]

Probably the only designer going around that can do justice to the XKE. Stunning.

[@Tahoe2002Md]

Your metal work is so incredibly exacting and beautiful I think you could get away with just spraying clear on the metal. Looking forward to the final reveal of this project. Stunning work as ever.

[@scottthompson5855]

Rolling art. The best kind as the canvas is exciting all senses and instead of being enjoyed by a paying few in a fixed environment can be enjoyed by the masses in an ever changing backdrop. Yes. HELL YES!

[@JK-co6wk]

Absolutely Stunning design. I can't wait to see it complete. It would be an honor just to have a rendering drawing of one of your designs, I can't imagine the joy it would be to have a car designed by you.

[@SHADOWBLACKs650]

I don't know FOOSE had a KZbin channel... SUBSCRIBED.

[@robertjohnson4784]

What else can I say but wow!!! it's a Chip Foose Design . as usual chip you are knocking it out of the park attention to detail is your specialty and there sure is a lot of them LOL always loving your work and always watch

[@rottenveiller]

Mr. Foose if I were a rich man didi didi didi do! I would be knocking on your door. respect from the uk.

[@mmomsboy]

Nice one Chip, I remember being told that although it looks a sleek aerodynamic shape, a lot of excessive drag came from inside the wheel arches.

[@JoseCarlos-zb9di]

For Chip Foose, just perfection is enough, congratulations for the great work.

[@jman3254]

I like the way that the unpainted silvery metal looks. If it could be tweeked by making the finish of it more even, that would be an awesome look for a car like this. I wonder why that's not ever done with cars. At least I've never seen it done that way on a car.

[@mpmike1972]

Wow! What an amazing piece of art! Can’t with to see it once it’s fully painted.

[@mr.x8391]

As always, Chip amazing job you’ve created. Best to you and the hands that got to work on this gem. 👍

[@robertmardosian727]

Love you Foose. Your builds are mostly to notch. Being an Art Center x-pat I appreciate your serious work. However, in this case I think a modern Jaguar engine such as their supercharged v6 or regular v-8 would have been more befitting if you wanted crazy horsepower. I personally would have used the Eagle brand bored out JAGUAR inline 6. After all, we are not kids anymore, adequate speed along with true original character of an inline 6 would be heavenly. With the LS you are mixing soul of a corvette with a beautiful Jaguar. When you press on the accelerator pedal it will feel like a corvette nor a Jaguar which builds torque as you rev that sweet inline 6. This reminds me of that awful build by ICON, you know, the one where he used an LS engine in a vintage Bentley. You can see it on Jay Leno's garage. A total misguided effort. Best of luck.

[@WesW3187]

Wouldn’t you love to have a DVD showing the creation of this car? Most of us will never be able to afford it, but it would be great to at least see it being formed and constructed. Beautiful car.

[@thhall459]

Thank you for your detailed explanations. I have much respect for your artistry. All of your rationale is sound.

[@martind349]

Jaguars are always good looking, the lowly x-type wraps nicely in a grey with a little green. Hinted-color tone lets the lines play in reflection and form.

[@almierz4604]

I had a 63xke convertible back in 75 metallic brown and a black vynial hard top, got so fed up with the drivetrain took it out and installed a 66-427,8v Ford side oiler 625 H.P with a C6 automatic trans and a nice 3300 10" converter. The rear wheel openings were Radiused just like your 73. Sorry I ever sold it , well I think it ended up on the end of someone's cutting torch for insurance money , I've been told. Looks Good Chip , keep up the good work.

[@jarednelson1634]

true chip true true... a jag motor is a beautiful thing but this car looks amazing and you are a very talented man. I wish my father would of had the money to take his xk-150 to you back in the day, you are a true car man and do amazing things with older vehicles I have an enourmous amount of respect for you

[@Hitmans30a]

I love everything about it except the hood scoop , but thats just personal . Its going to be something special when its done. Amazing work yet again .

[@psk5746]

Agree. Hood scoop is ripping off Ferraris And yes the Jag v12 is a piece of poo, but the 6 cylinder is an awesome engine, and real Jags have 6 cylinder engines

[@rocklover7437]

Looks like a late model T Bird scoop. It's the only fault in my eyes.

[@Buck3366]

“People would wanna cut our heads off”. 😂 You can just see this is going to be one stunning creation and the ultimate modern representation of an iconic car.

[@charlesshamseldin9555]

Nice work Chip. Really nice to see this kind of raw content on youtube. I much prefer this format over the overproduced tv stuff -- it's a different day and age you are still rockin' it. All I can say is wow to the fabrication skills on display here. Subbed 100%

[@josedacunhafilho]

3:33 Here is the exact description for why Chip Foose is on another league altogether from other car designers. And he keeps getting better and better.

[@maninthevan53]

Man your artwork always blows me away and to bring it alive exact as your art is amazing, cant wait to see the finale

[@smash320]

L'une des plus belles créations de Chip!Wouawww.....

[@user-kn5vp2qq6d]

Beautiful already now! One of the best if not the best interpretation, modern but still elegant as original. Design is best when is in service of purpose. The two English design examples are Jaguar E-Type and Spitfire. I Can`t wait to see it when it`s finished, it promises a lot.

[@revzillo]

Chip you're a profectionist , one of the best in car designers 👍

[@ODGColornChrome]

Amazing work Chip! Thats why I predict your going to builder of the decade again! Masterpieces, one and all!

[@josephpestello1663]

When you can move an iconic classic design forward it is genius. Fosse operates at the level of a Master craftsman who can create Master pieces of art!

[@deopersad2915]

Wow awesome credit to you and your team of crafts men 👍🏾 good to know about the brass and it chrome up nice 👍🏾👍🏾😀 can't wait to see it finished 😀

[@tommythompson2630]

Chip, always cutting edge without compromising the quality and attention to detail! Great job my friend.

[@Scrapla1]

So glad Mike Curtis was involved with the wheels. It was frustrating watching his talented wasted when he worked for Boyd years ago.

[@adnanlatif9007]

Chip u & your team is just amazing

[@wearethetraffic]

Haven't seen Foose cars in a while, usually the same general styles... This is a great departure from his norm, Id love to own this car. He needs to build a few more

[@pablocespedes9585]

I always liked FOOSE's design and quality of craftsmanship, this is the first time I do disagree with him. The Jag V12 motor can be modernized using new induction, cooling and electrical systems, I realize the GM LS engines are incredibly reliable, easy to adapt in different applications and on top of everything, they are not that expensive and you can produce a lot of power from them... definitely one of the best engine architectures ever! But a Jag with a Chevy engine, I just don't swallow that easy! Maybe I am too purist!

[@MrDragpics]

Recycle the jag engine put it in a hot rod

[@Pete-z6e]

Pablo Céspedes , well said, exactly how I feel.

[@philhohnen6193]

What would a rebuilt, properly upgraded Jaguar V12 cost compared to an out-of-the-box Chevy? Getting the right guy to tune and maintain the Jag engine could be challenging too...

[@violentblue123]

there are many excellent Jag engines that would have gone well in this car. from classic to modern. more horsepower isn't a real excuse, easier and cheaper is the only reason I can see for a LS

[@SRMWorkshop]

An AJ-v8 from 1999-2008 with the super charger would have made enough power to move that car along, and a donor XJR is not too expensive. That being said it would have been a tight fit in that chassis and sorting the engine/trans computers would be a pain.

[@Eflatmajor7sharp11]

Really astounding work - an E-Type of the past...from the future...beautiful work.

[@johncabot9058]

Beautiful metalwork!

[@kriswelsh3844]

Love the anti pedestrian devices up front 😜 Being serious, this is the most stunning E-type project I’ve seen. It’s almost a shame to paint and chrome it, the bare metal and brass combo is awesome, and reminds me of something Howard Hugh’s would have designed and piloted in the 40’s. Nicely done Mr Foose and crew 👌

[@sluggobrumm3967]

Incredible Chip, I want one so bad. Very elegant . Only you and God know how much work it was.

[@Kevin-ey7et]

Absolutely stunning love the E-type jaguar

[@Thegobstopper61]

It’s about time Foose did a stadium tour. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@charliej3190]

Not a single complaint from me. Gorgeous transformation

[@2541968joey]

Amazing work & details that will be impressive. As I go out to my garage and play with my '68 E Type I'm in agreement with you & thank you for not selecting a Series 1.

[@MindDezign]

This is how I like to see Foose in deep in his own element fretting the details. " RIPE!"

[@GizGaz52]

WOW! 👀 Awesome! 👍 Way to go Chip! Who says you can' improve on perfection.

[@Jeff-NORCAL]

Got all exited when you showed the paint booth, jonesin to see the finished car. Loved that car ever since seeing it in Brannigan staring John Wayne 1975

[@WHOMEWHOYOU]

You Start with a Masterpiece,,,, it will be something that is Still a MASTERPIECE but beyond what Our little Minds can understand...

[@DreamCarsPro]

Wow! This is really amazing work! Thank you so much for the video!

[@c7uk]

Beautiful! Both as standard and with Foose re-imagining 👌 I wonder if the guy 5 doors up from me who has a coupe E Type has seen this...

[@brianjoyce9742]

Foose got style of his own. Every vehicle worthy of consideration 'best of'

[@allantaylor3288]

Looks amazing and coming along nicely, love the concept drawings👍

[@stephenboyle3195]

Beautiful

[@AustinsVictoriousVLOGs]

This is a beautiful build! another option for a great performance powerplant could be the Jaguar F-Type motor. Supercharged V8 lotta power. Plus it goes in line with it being a Jag. I cant wait to see this Build completed! Keep up the awesome!

[@michiganengineer8621]

I'm going to be a bit heretical here. I saw a video recently about high performance WANKEL engines, including a _12_ rotor design. Now, if there was ever a car hood that could cover something like that it would be an E-Type, and just imagine the power!

[@shaungowler8909]

A true master in the art of design and craftsmanship I salute u sir and all your team all the best for future projects I look forwards to seeing on ur channel from one gear head to another best wishes from across the pond England 😁👍🏻

[@kerrykrishna]

I am just discovering your channel here. I have ALWAYS been a fan since I started seeing you on TV back in the day. This should be good!

[@gerritvictor1110]

My God! I would never have guessed the E-Type could be made to look worse than the original. Congrats.

[@TimC_1964]

I have always loved this car, I can't wait to see the finished product.

[@cesarmiguellopezherrera5072]

It is beautiful amazing you worked, I follow your designs since I was a kid and I try to do what I can with what I have. Thank you for sharing the way you create.

[@harrymeijer393]

Looks if its going to be a mixture of 275 gtb, e-type, stingray. And very smooth. As always, a work of art.
