I like Chip Foose - GoFuckYourself.com

He is a hard worker and seems like a friendly guy.

candyflip · 01-08-2013, 08:45 PM

And he he seems genuinely interested in the cars he works on and their owners.

Like you said, friendly. You catch more flies with honey, and he knows this.

The exact opposite (portrayal at least) of someone like Paul Tuetel from American Chopper.

I enjoy the premise of his show, secretly restoring someones prized ride.

Yes, because EVERYTHING in the US must be bad if he hates some (most) of it?
I'm actually finding myself siding with Franckieboy on most subjects he starts...but on a more moderate stance than he takes, but then again, he's half-trolling.

It's refreshing to see that he has really gotten under the skin of some guys though.

Nah, grumpy old fart. And the people he had working for him were all idiots. That show was horrible. It was just those idiots fighting with each other.

He always seemed like an A-hole. Didn't he lose a number of employees to Chip Foose?

Some of them
Departures (in order of exit)
Sean Dooley: metal worker, fired by Boyd during the "65 Ford Mustang" build for insubordination to Duane.
Jimmy "Tig" Krauss: metal worker, also leaves during the "65 Ford Mustang" after multiple bust ups with Chad "Bluebear" Geary.
Chad "Bluebear" Geary: junior fabricator/assembler, fired for insubordination during the rat rod build-off. Against Boyd's explicit orders, Bluebear insisted on building the car like a old-school hot rod without boxed frame rails. Boyd felt this to be unsafe. Chad insisted on doing it his way, and was fired for it.
Charley Hutton: Bodyshop supervisor, leaves Boyd's company after deciding to do work for competitor Chip Foose during the 42 Woodie build. Despite offering to return after the work was completed, Boyd said it was a gross breach of trust and told him never to come back. Hutton later appeared on the show Rides, it said he worked for Chip Foose and won a Ridler Award. Later Hutton appeared on Overhaulin'. He subsequently opened his own custom paint shop in Idaho.
Andrew "Beetle Bailey" Petterson: Bodyshop worker, left at the same time as Hutton and went to work for Chip Foose.
Al Simon: Chassis builder, quits during the Bud Light build-off though he subsequently returned to the shop. Left again at season 5 during the "59 Corvette" project. Now has his own shop
Mike Curtis: Machine Shop Supervisor, fired for designing motor cycle wheels for competitor Chip Foose in his free time. Curtis later appeared on Overhaulin'.
Roy Schmidt: Metal worker, died, aged 64, after a long battle with lung cancer.
Thomas Loddby: Fabricator/assembler, left to start a shipping business but later returned to work part-time.
Louie Biegler: metal worker, fired after doing hardly any work during his two weeks of employment.
Jimmy Hudson: metal/worker, left during Season 4 '44 Woodie.
Robert Taylor: Fabricator/Designer, now runs Fast Fab in one of Boyd's former buildings. Taylor was also featured on Discovery Channels Motorcycle Mania 3 with Jesse James
Brad Johnston: Fabricator/assembler, left crying after failing to show up for work on a Saturday during the "61 Impala Bubbletop" build. Accused Duane of bullying and Boyd of never being around the shop.
Scott Parker: Fabricator/Assembler, left to work for himself but ended up working for Chip Foose.
Willie Johnstone: Bodyshop painter, returned to New Zealand and opened his own custom paint shop in Tauranga.
Liz Miles: fabricator left the company, as claimed by the company's statement, after the show's producer set Liz up to work on Jo?s Hot Rod. But according to Miles's biography, she was asked to leave the company because of issues with Boyd's wife, Jo Coddington.[4] Now a freelance writer.

He didnt do a single thing on the show except walk thru the shop intermittently to complain. Show was a garage full of drama.

Agreed. Boyd's cars were much more balanced than Chip's. Coddington's cars maintained a great middle ground between stock appearance and all out custom jobs.

foose cars are a bit too over done for me. They lose a bit too much of the original look for my tastes. Still beautiful, though.

TisMe · 01-09-2013, 11:45 AM

Chip started out working for Boyd, who has since passed away.

John-ACWM · 01-09-2013, 01:05 PM

he does a great job on those cars!

I see your point. Boyd's cars were definitely more understated and hot rods in the classic sense. I think what Chip brings to the table is his own style. Most people would see one of his cars and say.. Did Chip Foose do that? Not sure if I'd say the same for Boyd.

You also have to realize that Chips show Overhaulin' is based on the shows budget, where as with Boyd's show the cars were built using the customers money. Makes a huge difference in the build.
