OVER-HAULIN........... ok well just a picture.

so kg911 and i went to cars and coffee on saturday morning.... seems as though that show is getting bigger and bigger and better and better cars out there. i know its made its way into alot of euopean cars magazines and so-on.

we were checking out a couple of FOOS-IFIED prowlers and we actually bump into the man himself.... CHIP FOOSE.

im am not NOT the kind of star-struck kind a guy, dont normally give a cheet about "stars" per-se but i do like cars... if you like cars you know who chip is.....

he was friendly and gracious and agreed to take a picture.....

was a good day.

Very cool, Chip seems like a proper guy. I would love a Foose artwork of my car, never mind getting overhauled. I loved it when they overhauled him, that was a great show.

I did notice that Chip has never done a Porsche in Overhaulin ..........It will be pretty interesting though. !

I think it comes down to sponsors, thats why they do muscle cars. A few years back I think I remember hearing that he would love to do a Porsche but the producers wouldn't allow it. His first car was also a 356. From his bio on the Overhaulin site:

"By age 12, he already had five years of experience under his belt, and had painted his first car — a Porsche 356."

I wrote Overhaulin about Chip doing a rendering of my car. They never wrote back...

He used to work for a friend of mine's dad. I have heard nothing but good things about him. On another note the tall blonde guy, that some times plays a cop (Lee and some of you know him as "Hawk" from American Gladiators), grew up in my neighborhood.
