Redesigning the soft lines of the Chevrolet C5 Corvette | Chip Foose Draws a Car - Ep. 2
Вставка
- Опубліковано 2 жов 2024
- The C5 Corvette has established itself as a performance bargain, but few have ever praised its styling as the best-looking Corvette. To see what might be possible with this 21st-century fiberglass sports car, we asked Chip Foose for his take on the design. With ballpoint pen and a few markers in hand, Chip sketches out his vision about how to sharpen the soft lines of the C5.

Chip, I am 72 and a C5 convertible owner. I tried to visit your shop late last year but cI was too early, to my dismay.I am a part-time car drawer and love your C5 rendition. If not for my age and financial status I would be all over you and your shop to "make it mine". You are the best and I respect how to educate and give back to the automotive industry! I was offered a scholarship back in the late 60's to Art Center and it is my number one regret, maybe I could have worked for you.
Love his rendering, sense of proportions,demeanor, analysis, mechanical, styling,actual hands down workmanship...This guy is a super genius.... 😘👌👏👏
What a brilliant designer! Loved this guy's work ever since i saw the first OverHaulin' show. And with the show, I learned to like him as a car guy and just being a nice person overall. So to go back to what he does, you can see his designs are well balanced. While I don't agree with everything he does (matter of taste obviously) he is a guy who could well have worked for a big outfit like GM or any other manufacturer but wouldn't have been happy there. Good thing you chose to do your own stuff Chip. Keep on doing it! Thanks for showing how you do it too!
I can draw letters on paper
Sometimes those letters are formed into words that can be readable
Chip Foose is an artistic genius
@H D I remember one episode of Overhaulin' where he visited a children s hospital and asks some girl undergoing cancer treatment what her favorite car is. MUSTANG! She says, so Chip puts a piece of paper down in front of her and starts rendering a perfect illustration of a hot rod mustang right before her eyes. Oh, BTW... One small detail.. He's drawing the picture upside-down, so the little girl has the proper perspective the entire time. Mind BLOWN!!!!
If you like pointless roadsters with oversized wheels.
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. I smiled all the way through it. Chip is one of the guys you are lucky to meet. What an artist. I'm a Vette nut and I had a supercharged C5. I totaled it. Car guys can see what they want usually, but the concept of building your own body mods? Leave it to Mr Foose.
I could watch Chip draw a customized toilet.
You did.
Me 2
That vett is clean as hell
... absolutely.! Even he would Design a Mf "Scheißhaus", - like we say in German, don´t wanna explain it more, it would be AWESOME.! And for sure if the Car Industry did Design´s like he, they would properly sell´n mo Cars then ever.!
Chip designs toilets??? I want one.
"But I want to get my hands on every car I can". Greatest car guy line ever.
Thank you!!! Let me tell you.. i would watch this for days. Just a slight glimpse inside the mind of this man is phenomenal. Chip you are a master of your craft!
Yes, Mr Foose, this is the Quality Inn, were going to need our pen back, thank you
THAT's exactly what I was thinking! How in the?? I couldn't do this with an art shop set of charcoals and 8 years of art school.
@@aliceshaw8265 Awesome comment = D
Chip is truly a master desinger/builder. Awesome to watch him in his element. Very cool.
I’ve always loved the part of a project where Chip is sketching and I wished to see more or learn about the thoughts behind the sketch, well here it is. Thanks Chip for the time and for sharing this.
Chip, thank you for keeping old school sketching alive and well. I've watched your techniques for decades and thought of Syd Mead as I was watching this. I went to the dark side and became a better sketcher on a Wacom, not a better designer, just a better sketcher.....LOL. Thank you sir for all you do for the design industry.
Other than the before and after of Overhaulin’, watching Chip Foose draw up the concepts and what he could quickly come up with on the show was the most enjoyable part of the show for me.
"I chose one woman...I want to get my hands on every car that I can..." Mr Foose, you are the man.
You're
One little typo and everyone loses their mind!
@@JMR1096 Meh, do not worry about it!
Malik Martin lol who hurt you
hmm. I chose one car..now wheres my women? !!!!
Being a C5 owner,, I love the rounded look. Normally I love Chip's design. I do love the color.
I cant stand watching these anymore. I literally like the original designs way better than the redesign
Personally I really like the C3 design the best. Way ahead of it’s time unmistakable iconic and timeless.
To the Hagerty webmaster. Thanks for the series, Chip Foose is a rare commodity in the design community. If you talk to him sometime soon, Urge him to offer his services to GM to help with the C-8. They certainly need it.
Thank you for the support. Enjoy the ride!
"the mechanicals are all there ..you just gotta have some fun with the body." told this same thing to my wife.
@CHINGA TU MADRE He's projecting pretty far there.
even how he writes his signature is art
You learn to live when you learn to draw!
He probably looked at his name, wrote it in 20 different fonts and styled afterwards. He made it his own. I think we all do somewhat the same thing. I sure am going to look into this! LOL!
I love the idea of this series and especially Chip's passion and explanation about the design importance of both elements and styling of an era prominent in the first episode. I hope the rest are more like that
Classy as always Chip!....WOWWWWWWWWW,,,Dopest video yet.. To let the public see how my man gets down, and what he's thinking!!! To see a legend doing his thing is priceless fam! Humble, talented, and loved, continued success to Chip Foose! The editing and back ground music very tasteful! Thanku4sharing
I’d take it even with the steel wheels. Seen him sketch a few times but when he adds the colour. It takes a whole new look. Those markers and the way chip uses them, it’s great.
It's funny cause I just a c5 the other day and thought about how i always liked their low wide stance. And how I kinda prefer them to today's style
You are my favorite car customizer to watch... Overhauled was terrific.. every time you would start tearing up I would also tear up.. Them were all awesome vehicles 👍 Thanks Chip
I {when much younger} drew the same **DUAL Headrests/Roll-Bars**
ALWAYS LOVED THEM & CHEVROLET EVEN BUILT THAT SAME CAR!!!
Great Work Chip!
Car designer genius and all rounder. Love his work and dedication
I have a cutlass that my father handed down to me which I grew up in it but Chip would be the only one that I would let resto-mod the stock but monster look on the car ... my dad passed 20 years ago and my ideas and his I know my dad would love the look and muscle of it because it was his baby and womenizer...... love your passion my friend and yeah the art too! Lol ✌🏼
Mr. Foose, how do you keep so many ideas in your head? Your ideas are wonderful and you can bring them to life on paper. I am a Corvette guy all the way, and you did some amazing work on that. Would love to see a real car done up like that. You would be the one to do it.
What a master! I dont even have the creativity to even come up with an idea like this and Chip makes something that looks great in the first draft...
The C5 Corvette was the car that made me fall back in love with the model. To me it is a classic design.
Some of us hate the sharp edges of the later Vettes...There have been aftermarket nose and tail pieces such as the Tiger Shark that really work right.
Your talents are unbelievable, and we are all blessed with seeing them!
C5 Corvette is the best looking and performing sports car in the world if you take into account judging it as a classic..it still looks great today. I'm surprised Foose says he not a fan of the design..I mean look at the black C5 in the photo..a C5 coupe with targa top..wow. it's a car built in the 1990's and it still looks great today..that's a classic..also dont take a coupe and make a convertible..you have to go like for like. . Isnt Chip just doing a Calloway design? Chips version looks cool ..but better than the original C5 coupe? No..
Oh this is gold. Where can see more of this. I could watch this all day.
The sketchmonkeys channel is full of this type of stuff
Chip Foose is a "National Treasure" and should be treated as such! He has the imagination of kid with killer drawing precision & a uncanny attention for details. Thank you Sir!
Needless to say Chip Foose has a different perspective on the C5 Corvette and the drawing looks more of a car from the 80’s era tv show the A-Team. I personally like the GM design as well as the side markers GM designed. Chip Foose has done great work on designs however Dave Kindig is so underrated. That’s my perspective.
Kindig can draw using stencils but he ain't no artist or designer. Just my perspective
Stupid comment, you don't get it
He said he designs a car for the customer and your not the customer. Kindig has copied his designer and will never be close to chips designs
Personally, if I had the budget, there is no doubt in my mind I would have cars done by both guys! They're brilliant in their own ways. Kindig is more into bold hot-rodding classic designs and Foose makes just about anything look modern and look good. There are many other great car designers and customizers out there, but from the ones I have seen and know, they're both at the top of my list.
His knowledge is impressive, he could redesign anything because he's an artist first and designer second. He could redesign the Lada and still make it look good.
Chip is a pure genius when it comes to car design and his art talent is awesome. I’m amazed why GM or other auto manufactures don’t use him as a consultant. We would have a lot cooler automobiles to drive.
Love Chip and ideas seem to just pour out of his head like water.
Mike
He’s always been a very personable yet classy person and willing to spend the time with you and appreciate you as well while talking to you ! I’ve met him multiple times at shows and events and most of all he’s a family person too 😎🇺🇸👍🏻
You are really lucky sir
I watched him on overhaul growing up, I fell in love and I've never looked back
Looking like a light scale of a koenigsegg beautiful custom work love chip and his work very inspirational vibes and attitude and the love for cars
Foose is just simply innovative, unique and genius!!!
Mr. Chip Foose, You do an exceptional job on everything you do. Thank
"Loose Sketch" my arse, take the Mona Lisa down and put this up
Nah, throw it on the pile of identical sketches we've seen before.
So nice to see art created with pen and paper instead of pixels. Beautiful.
but you are seeing it with the pixels the camera recorded it with.
I saw something on a car the other day which looked like the designers used mini cameras on stalks in place of the side mirrors. I guess they installed small screens inside the doors.
Love foose. The bob Ross of car drawing.
@@aliceshaw8265 Ross arts were beautiful , I seriously douth chip could even come close to what Ross was doing ...... So don't say light years cause he's only specialize in design
I'm not sure custom cars and "happy little accidents" mix.
AFRO
Instead of happy little trees, it's happy little scoops
Absolutely!!!
i can watch Chip draw all day! incredible artist
Ladies and gentlemen The Rolling Art works of Chip Foose 🔥🚨👍🏼
LOL the C5 is one of the best looking Corvettes ever. It's mind-boggling how successful Chip Foose was able to become. It's like my middle school car sketches executed with a lot more technical skill :D
Geez. The master, the legend at work. Hope GM execs are watching and listening to this guy. The new redesign is ok, definitely better and good to see gm take a new position and take a step out of the domestic sandbox. But still, could have been more aggressive.
Them c5's and c4's look awsome with the right set of rims and slammed (without) that rediculous cambered out look!
Inspirational and lovely to watch. I'll be day dreaming the rest of the afternoon.
You have a great hand! Thanks for letting us see you in action.
Does Chip ever sell any of his drawings ?
He does great work and I would like to get a couple to put in frames ,
Chip is a legend. I would love to hang that art on my wall
Just imagine how many of these drawings he has done in the past 30 years.
Nice to see you
@@chemicalspore Whats up brother!
How much would you pay
Huge fan of your work sir. So minimalistic changes yet cool. I have been following all of your work.
impeccable design genius aside; his statement about choosing one woman to stay with for life is the mark of a man who has it all together.
I would love to see a drawing of a C8 done by foose. Wouldn’t that be so cool.
Chip Foose on design. Big wheels, chop the top, cash the check.
Your design has Real ELEGANCE...that is what the New Corvette dont have...it Looks like a Small Matchbox Car...scaled to 1:1 Size!!!!
C5 is an awesome looking car.
When going from a conceptual drawing to actually making the vehicle, what do you do if the cockpit area is entirely different from the donor vehicle? I understand all the other panels, but I've never understood how builders go about doing doors, pillars, and glass. To me, logically thinking, all of that would have to be new frame, similar to what Vayder did with the g35 kit.
Is this generally the process of cars this custom, use the mechanicals and subframe, but build an entirely new body frame that acts as a proper skeleton for all of the new panels? How would you take a custom frame, which is typically tube from what I've seen, and attach paneling, both exterior and interior, to make it look OEM? How would you go about moving/modifying bumpers and crumple zones to keep OEM safety?
What about custom glass, what's the process of that? Both for the main windshield and side glass pieces.
What if the custom vehicle is overall wider, how would you go about modifying subframes and/or suspension geometry to allow for these changes?
I've been interested in custom vehicles, but nobody really shows the process in a timely manner, or their full rebuild is too close to OEM to show these techniques, or they're using a kit to turn a car into another car, etc. I want to see something like this, stock C5 transformed into this redesign of the C5, detailing every process from start to finish, while making the finished product look entirely like it came from the factory as that vehicle.
Wow!! Very nice design!!!! Can you imagine if this was the car GM released, what the c-6 and subsequent models would look like today?? I do love my C-6 but goddamn.... Wow!!!👍
Love you Chip
U couldn’t said it no more better than u just did💯💪🏿U is so RIGHT💯
Just like me and I enjoy handy sketckes
Chip Foose is the man! Plain and simple.
The man sketches with a PEN....and not a single eraser in sight 🙌
Chip foose you are a one of a kind master genuine genius when sketching a vehicle to life WOW, UNBELIEVABLE!!!...#💯
Would love to see Chip do like a 20's Franklin Airman custom restomod / redesign inspired by hotrods... elegant but still having lots of performance... a mean mobster with style.
The C5 Corvette --so perfectly designed that not even the greatest car designer in my lifetime, could make it look better.
I never liked his designs, but without a doubt, he's an amazing illustrator.
beobe99 foreals he’s all about two tone paint work and busted rims that most cars don’t look good with
@@franciscomunoz3333 Yup! I do give him credit for craftsmanship as well, and every one of his cars looks clean - until he paints them and puts on giant flashy wheels - and signs his name everywhere. That, and with his show, it drives me crazy that everyone treats him like God, the master, he's here!
beobe99 yea the funny part about it is that you can paint a car the exact same way and put big wheels like you say but nobody will ever look at it like “oh it’s a good build” but let chip design it and bam “what a great build”
Watching you is the most inspirational experience one can have. Your endless creativity is awe inspiring! Thank you, so very much!
This is way better than trees and landscapes.
I appreciated that he imparted some of his training , so I could learn a bit while watching.. Personally, I prefer the more organic and sensuous round body shapes of the classics over hard edged aggressive styles, but that's modernity for you. To develop some history of the round C5 shape, consider the previous model, that almost killed the corvette brand with dismal sales, , the C4. It was a straight wedge body, and I am sure GM wanted the "all new" corvette to look very different than the car that took a lot of changes to get it to sell.
The wedge shape was more aerodynamic in a straight line, but the C5 had more advanced wind tunnel and aero testing so is better aerodynamically in cross winds, like when cornering , so the rounded body of the C5 is actually better aerodynamically overall, except in a head wind.
As for the bloated rear end, the trunk has to hold two golf bags, and modern golf bags can get big.
I think you've just designed the C11 Corvette, Chip ..... l really love this design 👍
Just a little PSA: that Quality Inn Pen is a Bic Round Stick. Cheap, reliable and lays down some great lines. A go-to for design sketching.
I respect a man who uses a ballpoint to sketch...
A piece of paper, a ballpoint pen, and a straight edge...... BAM a masterpiece!
Hey Chip, I have a 2001 C5 Z06 with only 35K original miles, if you ever want to make that rendition a reality.
Cool new design. Looks like a Chrysler Sebring from the late 90s. My mom would love it
There is probably someone out there who thinks about calling Chip to build this car.
Sure, but how many of them have the half million it would take to do it?
Chip has never actually built any of the cars he drew they never looked like his pictures.
@@jsmeswagner6104 i think all the cars he draws look kind of the same in a way! And this one looks nothing like the c5! Chip is a great talented person but personally i dont like his style! But hey thats my opinion!
@@baddazzgarage2953 yes I agree with you .
All the cars does have some similar look and styling , body work and painting .
Not my style either
@@thesilentwarrior6769 have you seen the unvailing of the car today? Very similar to most of his cars! Wheels are to big ! They say the car is beautiful well it looks beautiful stock he just cleans up the car and puts beatiful paints and fancy rims! I really dont see what others see in foose cars!
Foose is the man.
I wouldn't mind hearing your perspective about the 2004 Pontiac GTO Design
Great Improvement over the looks of the OG.
Great video. Makes me happy to see people design cars with ink.
He's such a legend! I love his answer about being a Chevy, Ford or Mopar guy and his answer is Yes. LOL Good to like them all
Maaaan... I'd pay this guy big money JUST for these concept arts! I'd love to see what he could come up with for Baby (my 2001 Holden Commodore)!
Annnnd... Chip manages to infuse more elemental Corvetteness into a simple sketch than roomfulls of designers in C4 through C7.
Loving the series! Foose is so talented in what he does and is also very good in sharing the ideas and concepts with us.
Hello cheep ! How would you redesign a 1987 Buick turbo t , I would love to hear and see your opinion and ideas 💡 love your work since I first saw your work instantly became a fan!!! Please please please reply !.
Hey chip I think you should design your own sports car I think it would be amazing and revolutionary you’re extremely talented that’s for sure
For the sake of humanity, this guy must (shall, ought to) be designing ALL (All!) the cars in the world.
Thanks for adding them “gills” Back on design. The only element that are visually needed to finalize it’s shape would be the ‘humped’ forward wheel fenders like on the C3. I see the bringing back of the ‘90s firebird rear deck. Nice touch. Now onto the C6.
Chip, if you need a C5 Convertible to bring that drawing to life, mine is available...
Hey Chip I know this is a longshot but do you think you could design a deep dish rims for 3rd Gen Camaro thanks
Interesting roadster shape for the corvette c5, but i have to say the factory c5 was spot on in design.
Hmm! The C5 is a beautiful car out of the box. Nice custom drawing though.
His "quick sketch" is a weeks work and a thousand swear words for most
Chip you are amazing your art is incredible and the way you are like a really simple person no like others have a show like this they look crazy ..but you are a good guy ..when I use to see in cable tv your show ( OVERHAULIN) and you guys steal the cars for transformation it was so incredibe amazing , always wish you do it to my car ,but I'm in NJ and I guess is to far for you ..anyway I sell my 74 Ventura no because I wanted but I was forced to do it ..now I have a 87 Montecarlo LS nothing exited , but when I bought it was to help someone in need of the money .anyway ,i have some Ideas to fix it but it will never happen because working and fixing the house there is not time to play whit toys anymore ..but just to see you are doing is a nice thing keep doing your art and always be you a great person
Chip ...is Awesome dude
This looks like the Jaguar XJ220. Beautiful!
