Foose is more than just Chip Foose. His father, Sam Foose owns, or owned, a company that did car design and had most of the contracts for AMT models back in, I think the 80's. At the age of seven Chip was helping his father's company draw up prototypes for models. He worked for Boyd Coddington in the 90's and is responsible for the creation of the Boydster I and the Boydster II and was President of Coddington's Hot Rods by Boyd. However when Hot Rods by Boyd faced bankruptcy he left and founded Foose Designs. He builds one off hot rods, modernized classics and has a line of wheels with his name on them. The show is not necessarily an extension of how he works, rather, it was posed as a challenge. Could you rebuild a classic in a week. Most of his "day job" work takes months, usually. I think I'm going to let him rebuild my `66 230. Wonder if he'll try to put an IH Diesel in there.
