Chip Foose.............
This weekend I was a participant at Autorama, where I met Chip who was setting up Terracuda.As I was looking at the car we made eye contact and he stood up and made me feel like I was the only one in the building.....He asked if I had a car in the show and where it was.Not thinking that a person as busy as him would EVER see it. He signed my hat and I went on my way...............Sunday as I was at the awards show with my autorama info card ...which you have to show to get an award,as I sat back down from receiving an award my wife and I notice a rendering and note from Chip on the back of my card which had been laying on the floor by the car all weekend.........talk about goose bumps .......The note says Todd Great job with a rendering done with a sharpie and signed !!!! how friggen cool is this guy?????

I once heard him say "everyone who shares this hobby is a friend." Him and Troy put their pant's on one leg at a time just like everyone.
Really cool you got to met him.

I saw him in the airport in Phoenix with his wife. He was sitting right behind me facing the other way chowing down on a burrito. I waited till he was finished and politely asked him if he was Chip Foose. We talked a little about cars and his current show Overhaulin'. He was super polite, shook my hand, introduced me to his wife and said he was coming home from a charity event. I mentioned Boyd Coddington while we spoke. He said nothing even remotely negative. He is a true class act.

I wasn't intentionally correcting your grammar, I just didn't know if you knew Boyd was deceased. Originally Posted by Mr.VENGEANCE

Chip is really an asset to the car scene as a whole. He is so down to earth, friendly and more than willing to take time to talk to you and explain things. I'd love to sit down and have a beer and yarn with him after meeting him last year!
