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.
