Summary

Chip Foose is a legendary designer of hot rods and concept cars. His name became famous with the hit TV show "Overhaulin'", in which they would "steal" someone's beloved project and give it the glow-up of a lifetime. The show was one of Discovery's biggest hits, lasting ten seasons, and was a predecessor to so many flip/repair shows across television. But Chip's journey began years before that and his successes have only grown since then. In this show we learn about how he became such a skilled and celebrated designer/fabricator. https://www.chipfoose.com/ Recorded April 23, 2025 Check out the full lineup and get 15 percent off your first order at https://www.TRUEWERK.com/TIRE CarGurus Go to https://www.cargurus.com to make sure your big deal is the best deal.
