Foose Design 1956 Bel Air Restomod Project - Part 2

Chip Foose and his Foose Design team are handling a restomod upgrade to Victor's 1956 Chevy Bel Air
In part 2 of our series on the project, the Foose Design team customizes the LS engine (giving it a period correct look), refits the Magnaflow exhaust system, upgrades the disc brakes and brings the client in for an update.

Great resto, it's interesting to see a Foose customer who is actually mindful of cost.

[@JagUriel]

Good call on the opening jam! 🎶🎵😎 As always, thanks for the content Foose and Team!

[@Shumi-kr3tc]

Thanks for posting and sharing. Nice to see the car coming together.

[@jameshoberg1609]

Another great build from Team Foose!

[@rouser301]

It's always fun to see Chip's sense of humor.

[@jakespeed63]

Looking good fellas. Hope you keep those body color wheels and stock hubcaps. Thanks for sharing.

[@fjr2go]

Nice ride, looking forward to the next part!

[@jonsmith4463]

So jealous would love to have one done so beautiful

[@BigTweez9]

I grew up watching Chip Foose on Tv

[@sethdunlap9868]

I always feel bad when these resto. shows end up displaying and repairing other people's previous bad work. Just glad this guy is finally in the right shop!!

[@Medinabros2007]

Excelente trabajo saludos desde Honduras 🇭🇳👌👌👌

[@rafaelaguiar1761]

Sou fã do seu trabalho...

[@C10-4life]

Mr Foose can you please take care my truck??? 😂😂😂

[@barrymonroy7138]

Chip ... I would suggest putting in a Retrosound radio 📻 it's going to give the dash a stock vintage look with modern functionality and he'll have his Bluetooth and USB...

[@909ducatti]

One day I hope I have the money and the opportunity to get car built by you guys 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@spo5egy]

This car was in footloose 😎

[@greco37]

Excellent!

[@larsbr4519]

They should have tightened the loose bolt, and let the customer do a test drive. Before going ahead of the frame,swap.

[@autobodyrepairclearcoot4146]

Hi Foose I like Your Proyects Can You make Video Tour of your Shop I really like your shop We like to see it in More Detales Thanks

[@flinch622]

Not that an LS is a bad choice but... all that hood space just begs for a big block. Ah well: top notch work! Relocating fuse block is a great idea - I don't even like drivers side/traditional GM locations, and would rather not stand on my head when troubleshooting.

[@philpartin8618]

Gotta love shops with cubic inch money. More B As

[@pressloh]

Wow, ....Master, thats it

[@tinbadge]

Start saving your bread bags at home and when you need to pack a wheel bearing put your hand in the bag and then grab the bearing and stick it and you hand in the tub and squeeze the grease in and then pull the bag over the bearing and work the grease in every bit of the bearing and then pull the bag back put the bearing on the and throw the bag away. You don’t even ruin a pair of gloves.

[@freemansgarage]

Not a bad idea. I got some wheel bearings to pack soon & might try it in a video. Thanks.

[@gregworkshop5713]

hi very nice car

[@michaelmartinez7955]

I have a 57 Chevy same color i would love to have Foose work on it but I want it to look like when a came out of the factory not a hot rod just a cruiser and the way i want it not Foose just saying

[@OLDTIME47]

So when can we get back to classic cars on overhaulin? rumor is or was, the budgets were getting out of hand or when motortrend took over they got cheap, hence fixing up newer cars. i like how when they did shaqs 64, AJ announced like they were doing viewers a favor by bringing a classic in for work, not her fault, just goofy set up. these videos are better than current of most recent episodes of the show. heck, do these weekly.

[@dalehall2993]

Why dont foose do a tv show out of his shop??

[@huntingtonbeachsasquatch]

Because Everyone's Chill and Not Huckin' Wrenches and Screaming!👍😁👍

[@carmineriganti2333]

he had a tv show.

[@huntingtonbeachsasquatch]

@@carmineriganti2333 No, They worked on a show called overhaulin'. Foose Design Never Had It's Own Show! It Would Have Been Totally Different Format.🤦‍♂️😂👍😁

[@jishimoari]

Because he dont scream "WAUUUUU, GET YA SOME O THAT" .

[@garyolafson8303]

U-Tube clips of Foose builds are just fine for me.

[@adnanlatif1722]

How much this restoration is costing you ?

[@petersonoliveira8496]

Boa noite carro 1972 Chevy Pu vai amém bom Oi

Un lujo. Me gustaría comprar o poseer una camiseta de su empresa FOOSE. Soy uruguayo, mi nombre es: Daniel Monestier Correa. Mi dirección es: Boulevard José Artigas 325, de la ciudad de Paso de los Toros, Uruguay. Desde hace años sigo tan prestigiosa profesión que usted y sus fieles empleados realizan. Fuerte abrazo para todo el staf.

👏👍👏👍👏👍👏👍👏👍👏

[@joeschlotthauer840]

Didn't look like 11 inch brakes...

[@TheKiltedYaksman1]

Shame there aren't better tires than crappy ol' Radial T/As (or Coker Classics, Cooper Cobra, etc.) for these cars. Even if it's just a cruiser, all that money in drivetrain, brakes, and suspension is let down by antiquated S- or T-rated tires.

[@4376ED]

Very interesting video. But having that tapping in the background spoils the video.

[@huntingtonbeachsasquatch]

I Live @ Warner/Mag., .........Can I Have A Job!??

[@carmineriganti2333]

can you redo a couple of things ................ ok I'll do an entire frame off restore lol

[@danb.3397]

Upselling, upselling, upselling. Business must be slow. Just give him what he wants and can afford.

[@stanthrasher4815]

Plz paint my van? I'm 63 yrs old with cancer!!

[@chaseelwind1578]

DO NOT REMOVE THE WHITEWALLS so many restomods of classic beautiful cars with UGLY rims only cholos and idiots wouid drive

[@freemansgarage]

Agreed.

[@ez68eldo]

Guy can afford to have his car rebuilt by Chip Foose and his Foose Design team but can't swing some new wheels and tires?

[@shovington67]

Chip Foose seems able to do just about anything in the Automotive World. But can he really make any car great? Try a late 70s to early 80s Impala, and make it look good?

[@markorkarenhanes1354]

Yes

[@MagaRickn]

I'm fixing to be 70 years old, and am starting over on my 56 that I have had for 50 years. This is both awe inspiring and depressing! I have so far to go! I don't know if I have enough years left in me to do this. :( But I got a new shop, with a lift, so I am going to give it a hell of a try! If I can't finish it, maybe my son can. ;)

[@dave5833]

I’m 74 so you have plenty of years to build your dream car. 50 years is a long time to one the 56?

[@terrymott8581]

Like Johnny Cash, one piece at a time.

[@freemansgarage]

@@terrymott8581 Great song

[@freemansgarage]

How's the project going 2 years later? I've got my first '56 Chevy project tore apart right now. I'm documenting it on video.

[@1ls376]

Great video. No goofy music, yelling, or throwing wrenches.

[@SteveIgnat]

AMEN! And I'm not even religious

[@carlrice6989]

Chip has Grace and Style,,,, He can "Steal My Car" Anytime,,, I will even hand him the keys

[@charlesgalea69]

Thanks for the video today guys from Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺

[@frosty9855]

A little confused by these owners........in the first 3 nims they say i can't afford that or that will cost me more.......then why are they at Foose ??? Seems to me he got what he paid/didn't pay for on previous work. This guy wants Gold at Lead price.

[@joseramonsandovslcastellan9342]

Es el maestro de todos los diseñadores que han salido a la publicidad este personaje estuvo en cumaná y después en una pequeña exposición de sus trabajos en la isla de margarita hace unos 12 o 16 años fuy testigo de esos eventos

[@CihaPet]

I love the painstaking work to keep the original look of the car. Upgrade, but keep true to the look. ACES, Foose team. ACES.

[@turbotorana4336]

geez they should have gone with an "art morrison" fabricated chassis instead of that "roadster shop chassis."art morrison" chassis is a better designed and fabricated chassis with a superior finish.

[@dave5833]

You’ve gone this far, why no Air Bags?

[@juliansolorio1626]

Chief Foose is a nice boss, congratulations!

[@texastyrannyresponseteam794]

Foose is my nuggah

[@baqergt5062]

Foose is look like donald trump

[@robertpintaric1033]

I do not understand always that ugly colors for transmission and Motor ? Can someone explain it to me ? Greetings from Austria

[@freemansgarage]

That's the classic orange Cheverolet is famous for & the owner wanted a period correct look.

[@patriot8087]

is that a Art Morrison frame if not who's is it? I had a 56 chevy just that color when I was about 16. Wish I had that car now.

[@markusstrobl1067]

In the beginning it says it's a Roadster Shop chassis.

[@IslaVision3]

👏👏👏🤘😘

I want engine black til he heard the price.....hmm....ok put black covers on ...lol

[@bill56belair60]

Hi Chip I'm 75 and looking for some one to help me restore my 56 chevy belair please help

[@BillMulholland1]

👍

[@dukebass4564]

Prior to returning from overseas while in the military, I ordered a 56 Belaire . It was this same color combo, “fawn beige & Sierra gold”! I picked it up in New Jersey, and drove it to my new duty station in Massachusetts. I also bought three other 56 Chevys. A 2 door panel delivery; a 2 door post; and a nomad. All 265 v8s with powerglide trans. I grew up in Glendale, CA. The first thing I did was remove the fender skirts, they were not cool 😎.

[@Mustangrocket98]

Chip and the guy from west coast custome are the best in my opinion

[@jenbill]

Chip Foose is the best at what he does but I’ve seen so many times he takes a classic and turns it into something it’s not, I’m surprised he didn’t put some over sized rims and low profile tires he has a habit of using, but in this case the owner was so worried about cost didn’t have that option, which makes you wonder why he was at Foose in the first place.

[@ZKev1]

wish I had enough money for a foose design, shit wish I had enough money for one of his bloody pictures of a design lol

[@elfocker]

If heaven had a shop, this is would it❤️❤️❤️

[@MrBKelly95]

How long does it normally take to do a restomod?

[@stevethomas7687]

To spend all the money on the custom chassis, suspension and brakes to not put a better wheel and tire is just a waste.
