wow, that is so awesome that he signed your car. Foose is just one of those people that lives to make other people happy....not too many like that around anymore

I love the shot of Boyd in the background looking lonely while Chip is signing stuff....if only boyd didnt make such awesome wheels

Gee maybe because Chip is an awesome designer and perhaps someone he admires? If I met Steve Vai I would have no problem letting him sign my guitar, even though he didn't own it or play it. I fail to see your point.

i dunno, just seems like foose signing a car he didnt build is like an artist signing a painting he didnt create. foose signs a lot of the cars he builds. its just my opinion so hopefully no one freaks out

Famous people sign stuff all the time, doesn't mean they made it or it belongs to them. He's a car guy that loves cars and people who love cars. I'd like to get my car signed by Chip, even though I don't agree with some of his designs, he's probably one of the best guys out there in his field.



Was at the show Nikko, saw the ccfbg setup. Real nice! Forgot my camera though

What springs do you have on the car?

very cool, i met him at autorama a few years back when they were setting up impressions for the riddler award. he's definately laid back.

picks look great, i love they have an 80's class at that show. looks like i need to start going across the boarder as they stick me in brand new car classes every year which gets old.

i can't save any of the pictures to point out what i'm looking at but what did you do with the relays and brake booster on your car? if it's there they don't show up in the pictures. love the hooters, when i saw them i had to ask myself it wouldn't be you without a picture of you with them and then there it was.

I went with manual brakes...you just have to press a litlle harder than usual what relays are you reffering to? if it's for the lights then they are all hidden in the front.
I just had to get inbetween the Hooter's Girls...you know what I mean
The lift was the only way up & down because there was no elevator...my heart stopped a few times watching the car car on that little ramp but everything was safe & sound...good thing.
Jeff we will have to get together this year at Woodward...I'll be there the weekend before to take in the 40th F-Boby re-union & staying until the Dream Cruise.
