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

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

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

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!

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😎👍

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

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

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...

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
