Both Boyd's painters went to Foose. Charlie Hutton was the first then the kid they call Beatle Bailey went over there.
Last time I watched Boyd's show, I think half of his crew has quit and it's all the good people. I can't believe Boyd has survive this many years running the kind of business he does.
He sold the wheel shop and rights to American Racing so I wonder if money is tight?

I think that foreman on Boyd's show will jump ship sooner or later also...
I can't keep track of Boyd's show........he' comes on at different times, and i like the relaxed professional relationship FOSSE has with his crew.....

Yeah Foose and his team are never streassed out like Boyd's team is (at least on film). My only gripp with over haulin is the way they use Fooses name constantly though out the show. "If any one can do it Chip Foose can", "Foose will Foose it up the only way he knows how" I kinda get tired of hearing how great he is every other sentence.
I was actually interested in a custom Camaro (think it was a 67' can't remember) that Foose and some Muscle Car company came together to make. Think they have a model for classic Stangs and model for classic Camaro's. Saw it in a DuPont Car mag ad. Called up and geez, didn't think it was gonna cost what it did $$$, knew it would be high but not that high.
As for the shows, personally I like Chip's style and designs better regardless of what's seen on the shows. Boyd's don't really do anything for me.

LOL I agree he could do my car if he wanted. Have you wathced "Wreched to Riches" by Berry Speed shop?? They take old junk cars and turn them into super muscle cars and sell them at auctions, they sell them for what they put in them ($40,000+) and if they don't aleast break even they take the cars back home. Pretty cool show..

Beattle,Charlie, and Mike who runs the machine shop have all gone to work for Chip Foose. with Boyd's insane deadlines i wouldn't be surprised if their
weren't anyone left of his original crew . I did see the episode when they cleaned out the warehouse and said goodby, if i am correct the lady in the office is Boyds Exwife . He didn't seem too upset when she said goodby
,Boyd was more brokenup over mike who he took into his home as a kid.

Yeah when Boyd's ex left he told her "have a nice life". That's an exact quote. He's like I got a trophy wife now so I'm kickin you to the curb forever.
And no blue bear isn't the same as beatle Bailey. Bear was an idiot, I would have fired him too. I think three others have quit that show since the Mike, Charlie and Beatle left.
Foose does do awesome work, but they do tend to over-hype him on the show. Still a great show though.

It was a Nova II awesome car I was able to see that episode last night as well. Looked real good at the track as well minus the tire spin. I'm really liking how they do all cars Ford Chevy and Mopar. They did a purple Mopar (road runner??) and shoe horned a Hemi in it was was soooo sweet.BILL said:

Boyd--I thought being a jerk was part of his act, like Paul Sr. on Orange County Choppers. Apparently, its who he is.

Remember Boyd recently had some legal issues , he was caught misrepresenting some custom built rides to avoid proper taxation. I believe Autoweek suggested he settled for millions.
Foose still has a eye for the muscle cars. Dont always agree with the color, but love his work and really enjoy seeing him shaving the old chrome bumpers and make more flush. (never realized prior just how far the old chromies stuck out front and back)

Anybody see the show where one of the guys from ZZ top was involved in an old school Cadillac rebuild? Not Overhauling or Boyd. They did a drop-top, lowered, airbagged, frnech-headlights old Cadillac. Man it was cool!
OTOH--I have often wondered how many of these cars are actually road worthy when they are done with them--or whether there is a lot of extra work that needs to be done after the "reveal". I doubt they can drive them out the door. They sit there and start the engine, rev it manually with the throttle under the hood, and can barely get the hood open. I doubt they run straight down the highway without major alignment issues after having had the freaking front end cut off and replaced.
Just call me Mr. Negative.
