Foose Design | '62 Corvette C1 Custom Build - Part 1 - Tear down and build up

[@davewalkerden]

So much easier to watch than other resto shows where they introduce fake drama and stupid backstories. Foose is all about the Craftsmanship, the Art, the Car and the Customer

[@panamared354]

I think the reason why I like Chip the most compared to other car builder's is he gets his hands dirty. Thanks for sharing

[@shaunmostert1585]

And most of what he does is unlike any other customizer in the industry, He aways has a different way of doing things has an artists touch in some way...

[@jimwhitman5805]

@@shaunmostert1585 Yes he never rubber stamps his builds, each has it's own unique vision coming from what the owner wants to how Chip comes up with feeling of the build.

[@groermaik]

@@jimwhitman5805 He almost always shaves the bumpers, bringing them into the body, making them part of the design, not just a bumper.

[@joesmith3829]

his style I so subtle almost imperceptible... that when you see the car you know what it is...but you can tell it’s unique and different but you don’t know how to describe it.

[@GouryG]

There's nothing like watching a Master Craftsman at work with his highly skilled crew. I can't wait to see the finished product.

[@normansmith9683]

assing cars up one at a time Foose Design nobody does it better

[@richardpena3944]

What a talented artist! Get a chip foose car now because in 20 years they will be unattainable

[@irench]

If you're going to chop up arguably the best Corvette design ever. You best be able to make it orders of magnitude better. Enter Chip Foose, American icon, and builder designer of EIGHT Riddler award wining cars. Chip has contributed to many iconic cars from Elenor and Wounded Warrior Project to the Boydster.

[@richardpugh3434]

Much better than watching Overhaulin’. Actual hands on without all the drama. Not that Overhaulin’ is bad, but this is way better. Thank you Mr. Foose for the great builds and videos.

[@rickarra1833]

When Chip builds you a car the question is never how much, or when, it's just thank you for a beautiful piece of art

[@toosunakabooma1213]

Absolutley correct! Hail to the most royal of majesties, the grandest of grand poobahs, Long live Chip Foose.Its how cars are done.

[@ru54623]

Of all the youtube builders Chip is the best; that's because he isn't a youtube builder, he's a professional/an artist. Props to you Chip and the guys, hats off.

[@ronaldwestra8735]

Bert you are absolutely right!!!! Spot on. Chip and his team are real professionals.

[@rickyates9511]

Met him once at a Christmas toy drive some years ago. A top notch man for sure. Love his work.

[@mechanicalmike7320]

I like that it is just about the cars, no added drama, just the guys doing what they do best.

[@joebloeu]

you got to love his hands on approach to all his builds,doesn't just point gets in there and does it.

[@chucksgarage7165]

I’ve always respected that about him.

[@1flashlite1]

Chip is better at doing than talking. I like that.

[@sherylelkins201]

Mr Foose, you and your team are amazing. Like watching a patient getting plastic surgery only so much better (retired nurse, sorry).

[@172-e5s]

It needs a boob job...lol

[@johnschuster9192]

My little brother would like this overhaul on his 1962 Vette.... But now I have a 67 Chevelle that could use a bit of Foose Magic...Great stuff with the Wizzard Chip ...Insane cool subtle changes to a car design is his motto...I wish the crews were still showing their stuff on tv...Best wishes to the best Car Guy...great video!

[@joeb9763]

What a super builder & fabricator & nice guy. He was in Milwaukee and was super nice to talk to my boys even though he was busy😎👍

[@ElGonzoMayor]

I am certain this Corvette will look fantastic. I not so sure it will look better than the original design. I mean, there is a reason why the car is a classic.

[@63humanbeing]

Hats off Chip, you set a great example, with an obvious balance between creativity and hands-on that is rare nowadays 👏🏼👍🏼👏🏼👍🏼

[@loganboyer8816]

Google the "Buckshot Corvette". My grandfather was the engine builder for that car. It was a 61 though. Landed him in the NHRA hall of fame and he and the driver won the 68 NHRA championships with that car. I hope you do something amazing with it Chip!

[@hudsonkeelin2369]

Being a poor person I will never be able to have a person like Chip ever built a car for me but I totally admire his ability to design and build some of the most beautiful automobiles i have ever seen, i had a 66 impala SS 327, i wish I had never sold it. Chip never stop building them

[@JagUriel]

Haven't geeked out too much when running across celebs or famous people, but I gotta say the day I met Chip was memorable. Every bit as awesome and kind as he comes across on the screen. What an honor! Thanks for the content to everyone at Foose Design!

[@XXBD]

I feel the same way about the first time I met Chip Foose. You nailed it in your comment Uriel Landeros. He also remembered my name the next time I saw him. He is my all time favorite car guy and artist!

[@thomasthacker4939]

A known design genius of our times, and still doesn't mind the itch of sanded fiberglass on his arms. Always know you are never above any job. Can't wait to see the rest of this build. Sir Chip, please keep posting more of this style, people need to remember it not easy...

[@Andy1416]

It was such an honor meeting Chip, I hope to meet him again someday!

[@billk9628]

As I watch this video, I'm taken back to my early childhood! My Godfather (R.I.P Bobby), had a 61 vette, and when I was little, like 6 years old, my Dad (R.I.P. Dad) helped him put a 1968 Z28 327/ muncie 4 speed into that car. This is where I come from, this is my heritage, this is who I am! I am a son of a builder, a man that made things work! I was under the car when I was in diapers, and pretty much never left! My parents were both employees of Scheilper's Speed shop back in the early 1960's. Mom did the books for John, and Dad built the engines! Today, it;s called "Pro Power Motor Sports"! If you look around, you will see my Dad in every racing sport there is! Mom too! Mom put John on the straight and narrow with the business, showed him what to do, and he went off to be huge! Today, I am a diesel mechanic for the US military, Still, I remember how I was under the car with Dad, and still I cherish those moments as he taught me what it meant to be a mechanic! We spent hours taking apart starters, trying to save them by cleaning out the commutator, sanding brushes,,,,,,, Why? Because I was the oldest of 6, and this was the best he could do! Chip? Keep doing your work, because first of all for you, it's a passion! Second of all, because there are guys like me that would die for the chance, and will never get it! You bring out our visions! Even if we can't see them just yet!

[@jaym4763]

One of my favorite Corvette's, can't wait to see what this exceptionally talented artist can do with this generation car. Chip has on of the best eyes for design I've ever witnessed. Will be following this build with enthusiasm and excitement.

[@The72challenger]

This is the great thing about Chip...he ain't much of a stool pusher...he gets his hands dirty with a project.

[@AMERICANLEGENDModelBuilder]

Not sure how you can be a maniac and a genius at the same time Foose, I would never thought about putting the bumpers in the press like that, but VIOLA.

[@iamtheuse6321]

You gotta love that Chip loves to do the work, who could possibly know more about what the finished design should look like, he always knocks it out of the park.

[@tarheelron68]

My dream would have Chip do a vehicle for me..it's just a dream. I could never afford it. That man can turn anything into treasure

[@fw1421]

I like that Chip isn’t one of those guys like Boyd Coddington that just tells his guys what he wants,Chip gets right in there and gets his hands dirty and works with them.

[@chadsmith1092]

Being a body man myself. Excellent craftsmanship! These guys give you what your paying for! Beautiful job

[@adrianleusink1970]

Great video. Chip Foose is one to his own and we can see here why he's been so successful. He genuinely lives and works and breathes his passion for cars & car design. Loved the little comments as to understanding why designers in the 1960s did things a certain way. Decades later he still understands the constraints they worked within and respected their compromises. I guess you could say Foose Design eliminates those compromises the designers & manufacturing process must face.

[@OriginalMomo]

Once again, the man emerges... your attention to detail is second to none.

[@alanderson9711]

Wish the new Vette had this old Classic design. This was the Golden Age of Corvettes.

[@stevengiles346]

I love the comments on sanding in a paint booth. I worked on Corvettes for many years and did most grinding and sanding on fiberglass in the booth. Fiberglass particulates are nasty and the air flow kept skin irritation and lung irritation to minimum. Regarding keeping a booth clean for a perfect paint job - The booth was always thoroughly cleaned after the glass work was done. I’m sure they spend plenty of time cleaning the booth considering Chip is one of the best car builders in the business. Put some thought into comments

[@chris-vn6sw]

Recently subscribed.. I’m still drooling over the E Type Jaguar

[@stephenfillingham6289]

As someone said, he's a real artist. It's all in the detail and his hands on approach. Mind you, that's to take nothing away from the skill and dedication of his. Great channel, thanks.

[@Vanirviking]

mazing to see Chip work. I am sheet metal worker by trade, and do lots off stuff. But I dont think I can even come close to his talents. And not to forget the people that work for him.

[@Blowinshiddup]

Chip looks like a guy who had too much coffee and not enough sleep, but if I had that much brilliance I'd probably explode. The guy is a genuine Overhaulin' legend.

[@philipcarthy2977]

This man is a God,his work is out of this world

[@scottross609]

As the owner of a ‘62 this is painful but fascinating!!!!

[@SunshineMix101]

Chip Foose certainly has te technical know-how when it comes to cars. I'm guessing there isn't much he can't do. However, he really excels in his artistry. What he can envisage and produce is , every sense, a piece of art where function and beauty combine.

[@paulkelly7896]

just the into on the design changes was fantastic

[@Mr_Mooo]

Pete Brock said it best, Chip is the best independent automotive designer in the US.

[@joannewhilde7359]

I love to watch you work Chip. I'm a hairdresser and like you I create styles and flow with the lines rather than fashion and speed. You inspire me quite a bit and again, like you, I have a thing for bikes, though mine are bmx, a mountain bike cum cruiser bmx and a Sinclair C5 and I'm a gal so keep up the good work. xxx

[@אליאלבן-דן]

Most of the car took 243 fabrication hours; the head lamps, 1,112 hours. Now that’s serious perfectionism.

[@davidboyd6523]

After the e type chip did the vette should be just as amazing if not better! A one of a kind legend !

[@darnhard]

talent and humility some leaders of countries could use a lesson from him

[@gregsimon9061]

I love watching you create a masterpiece.

[@ronlheureux7623]

Once again, Chip and crew, you've made my day. Love this stuff!

[@ScottyLo]

That’s an incredible amount of work and it’s all done with attention to detail.

[@najt.1106]

Bonjour Mr Foose cela fait un moment que je suis votre travaille vous êtes un magicien de l'auto vous me faite rêver avec toute ces belle voitures grand respect pour votre art Merci je vous souhaite bonne continuation.

[@harrysmith2431]

Wow, Chip, that 'Vette's going to look amazing!

[@davidtappe5337]

You folks don’t forget Chip builds hot rods. Anything goes. Simple.

[@pacerodi]

This is professionalism at its best! I've never seen that much perfectionism!

[@kameokid528]

Another work of art in the making.....

[@iiNgONYaMa]

That lift had a hell of an exhaust note

[@eduardosampoia5480]

It's amazing what throwing tons of money at a car can accomplish.

[@darnhard]

sad when jealousy raises its ugly head

[@richardwallace133]

My favorite year corvette made even better !!

[@lorenmars5244]

Wow! Chip and his associates are outstanding in their field. State of the art always. Inspirational. Where were you in 62?

[@BaldwinBay]

Thanks for making this great video. My favorite Corvette years are 1953-1955.

[@aaronallison1604]

Love the big Ford emblem right behind the Corvette in the beginning!!!

[@airdad5383]

As a car designer it's fun the see Chip get dirty working on the cars instead of sitting in the office and giving orders.

[@coreywhitacre6581]

Looks amazing, can’t wait to see the finished product.

[@loknloll]

Chip Foose is an automotive national treasure.

[@melvinstephenson5535]

I’m so happy to be seeing this build, can’t wait to see it done. Excited..........

[@dobermanpac1064]

Chip can make a piece of rebar look good. 😎

[@TheoldKov]

One of the best builders and designers out there.

[@Inthegarage685]

I like how Foose makes his custom visions come to life

[@rapid13]

Owning a Foose car is on my bucket list.

[@TheDeerInn]

What a beautiful machine!!

[@LordandGodofYouTube]

Some people have the vision, some people have the skills, some people have the taste, but very few have all of these, you do Chip, everything you do is pure art, verging on pornography.

[@jeffrp14]

Always a thrill, thanks Chip.

[@robertphillips3078]

Awesome work Chip & his team. ❤ ur work at Foose Design 👍👌

[@davidbarker7242]

Chip beautiful work as usual. I also like it when you get Josh on camera, considering he likes to duck out of view

[@jameshoberg1609]

Chip is an amazing artist

[@markcors949]

you make this look so easy...

[@chuckhyatt5244]

Thank you for competent fiberglass work

[@dirtykustomz]

Chip the front grill opening need a few inches shorten from the bottom to make it inline with the black valance across, I will pop in the shop next week lol.

[@coreycaswell4688]

Really know what you need understand it first, take your time learning is a process stay focused eyes on the prizes the good the bad & confuse . Forward

[@88classic]

Always wanted a car built from foose

[@matthewfocke5360]

Do you use regular blue insulation foam and sculptors' semi-dense beige foam? in the '80s, I used a green type foam that came in 2' by 4' blocks...We carved out amusement park rides, cartoon characters and other forms out of it. The foam was covered in chopped fiberglass and resin. It was fun stuff...You could carve anything out of it. The Head Sculptor was the Maestro of Foam.

[@lcfj70toyota35]

Can't wait to see the final product

[@tommavrakos]

My 92 chevy van.beauville needs you

[@fpvclub7256]

Wow, the subtle touches.. Looks soooo good!

[@johndavey72]

7.40 secs. "Chip! We just cannot get these quarter bumpers to fit."...... (Chip)"if you want a job doing, do it yourself!" 😨😨 Actions speak louder than words!

[@danagrindle9779]

Excited to see finished product. As an owner of a 62 Red on Red Fuelie it is a little hard to see all the mods but will wait to see the end product.

[@jerrydonelson]

Awesome, I need ideas for my '60....

[@markbrynteson5141]

Chip is a genius!

[@tomperkins5657]

Wow! Just wow!! Can't wait to see the finished project!

[@Johnny53kgb-nsa]

If I could afford it, I would buy a brand new C8 Corvette and have it delivered to Chip's garage and tell Chip to design it like what he thinks a new C8 should look, and run like. It would be a masterpiece!

[@ericswild]

Wow man your work is next level.

[@guamflyer1]

I can only Wildly Imagine what you'll do with Vette...

[@jimmyfleebot]

Man, that forklift at 4:10 sounds awesome lol

[@ODGColornChrome]

Amazing work Chip!

[@fw1421]

I love Chips work. He is a bonafied Automotive Genius and an American treasure!

[@nickturner2813]

"Bonafied" [sic]? If you were even just a semi-genius your claiming someone else to be a bona fide genius would have so much more credibility.

[@DreamCarsPro]

Amazing work! Great video!

[@wyattoneable]

Outstanding progress.

[@pookatim]

Yeah, I always thought the '61 & 62 models looked like the front and rear were mismatched. The 1960 model had it right and then the 1963 model did too.

[@deopersad2915]

Cool awesome to see it finished 👍🏾👍🏾

[@gabrielregueiro3209]

Awesome
