I heard the same about Frank Frazetta, who was often touted as using a Crayola watercolor paint set to paint lots of his paintings. You don't need the fanciest or most expensive tools to create something.
The car of my generation. My 91 gets as many thumbs up and attention as any 1st generation car. Nothing sounded as good as the original 5.0 with Flowmaster mufflers. Even GM and Mopar guys love the sound of that music lol. Nice job Chip.
I still have my work in progress 91 gt. Did my suspension MM coilovers , the brakes are willwood 6 piston front and 4 piston rears. Overkill but insane stopping power. Engine is next. Cheers
Those Mustangs have better sales than the Camaros, but by early 1990, Ford felt that despite great sales, they going to make major changes to the Mustang, ; unpleasant changes. A lot of Ford dealers & Ford upper management protested those changes; fortunately, the then-CEO authorized a total redesign of the Mustang & had it ready by the early 1990s. Would have been great to have Mr Foose do the work.
Makes me miss Overhaulin’ that much more! I’ve met Chip a couple times, and next to Carrol himself that was my #1 automotive inspiration to meet. Easily one of the most recognized automotive icons of our time and still such a humble, personable guy! Thanks for the video!!
@@Mangobrain82 Its cuz most of them are trashed from being turned into drag buckets. They were always the lighter, faster bodystyle and the dragstrip dwindled the numbers. They have grown on me as I was always a hatchback guy but a slammed coupe with some fat ass meats out back always looks killer.
I dunno if Chip is up to speed on notchbacks or if prices are different where he lives, but in Texas (and what I've seen on Autotrader) notchbacks with a 5.0 in good condition are not $7.5k. More like $15k. That aside, his take on a Shelby notchback is wicked!
BREW2L, you’ve got the best Fox content on the net in my opinion. Congratulations on the new barn and lift. Can’t wait to see what that Gen 1 is going to look like. Much respect from the Motor City.
I had a 81 notchback back in 1995. My brother and I spent the whole summer of 95 fixing it since it had a blown motor in it. We put a 302 in it from a donor LTD, and we visited every junkyard for parts all summer. First week of school and we finally got the last part for it. When we got home from school the next day to start it for the first time, it was gone. My dad sold it to his friend for $500 bucks and he kept the money...Never even got to hear the damn thing run...yup, awesome childhood memories.
As in pens go for being cheap they are hella reliable. But it does take skill to accurately draw with a pen skill that I could probably get back into myself given the time but I prefer to draw with a charcoal pencil most of the time
I had a baby blue Mustang 5.0L 5 speed hatch in high school I bought for $2000 that needed work. Turned out it just needed a new fuel pump relay. I had 18 inch chrome cobra wheels. Loved that car. Back then you could get them cheap and find parts in junkyards for next to nothing. They were quick, powerful, cheap, they sounded great and the back end loved to get loose. Dangerous in the rain but a joy to drive. No traction control, stability control or abs. You had to know how to drive to really push them without ending up wrapped around a tree or telephone pole, which was the demise of many fox-body’s. I’ve owned 3 over the years now it’s rare to see one on the road. I’ll never forget what it’s like to drive them.
I owned 2 brand new 5.0 notchback mustangs(89+91). Best cars I ever owned.. not 1 issue, I could easily mod them myself(hence super easy to work on)and that 5.0 back then was bullet proof. Now everything is highly computerized or an ev… no thank u. Great job chip foose.
I like how he says you can find a coupe for a cheap price 😂 I have both a notch and a hatch the hatch is fully restored and the notch doesn’t even turn on yet and I’m getting payed more for the notch as is
Chip brought aspects of the Shelby Charger over. Stripes, Shelby down the side, ground effects, and deck spoiler. Good homage to a Shelby foxbody of the 80's.
Just picked up a 1 owner 90 GT a few weeks ago. Immaculate interior and body, still has the factory hurricanes on it too that have never been curb kissed. No o/d in the aod and a bad p.s. leak. All being fixed as i type !
Purchased my 93 Fox-Body LX 5.0 new in 93' and still have it! All original with only about 23,000 miles. Fun to drive in 93 and still fun to drive in 2021!
When I was a kid and saw the fox mustang growing up in the mid 80's to early 90's I fell in love! I found one and have had it for going on 12 years. The car is awesome I just wish I'd gotten one sooner.
On graduation night in 1993, we went out in my buddies dad's, McLaren Mustang. I think it was a 1988. A lot of people forget about the McLaren. But that was a pretty sweet car. I still use a Foxbody Thunderbird as a daily driver. 5.0 with an aod transmission. Been driving it for 15 years now. And I love that car!
The SAAC(Shelby American Automobile Club) built a Fox chassis Mustang in 1991/1992 with Ford and Carroll Shelby's blessing(they sanctioned the build). They bring in big bucks due to their limited build(just over 60).
Funny ... I knew Carroll from our Odessa, TX days when he was hocking his bagged Chile Mix Recipe (which was friggin awesome). Truth ... Carroll didn't design anything. Carroll's strength was identifying people talent at different levels and bringing it together. He was also a brilliant leader. He reminded me of Lombardi. He had a charisma that commanded respect and he also gave it. Nobody on the team seemed to have infighting. His best talent was working with the factory heads (Ford) and pursuing them like a Jack Russell Terrier. Lee Iaccoca didn't "invest" in Carroll, he just surrendered to get rid of him. Carroll would stand on a stump and argue that a tree never grew there. He could also sell you your own underwear. Unlikely we will ever see that spirit again.
Absolutely love this, I someday wish to own an 89 notchback with an 03-04 cobra drive train, I've imagined it since I was 16 and here I am almost 32 and have yet to accomplish that dream.
This kinda happened. SHELBY unofficially was consulted for the SAAC Mustangs- which were used to federalize the 1993 Cobra GT40 motor. Those SAAC cars are pretty darn nice, and the mods make sense. Love how the factory rollbars and chassis stiffening helped. Closing the doors on a SAAC is solid and satisfying!
I always wanted my 01 explorer sport to get Overhauled! I loved that it was 2 doors but it was still big enough for me being 6'5. Pretty Much a y2k Bronco only classier! I had black. It had horrible shocks/springs and I had 3 ball joints replaced
Always in awe and always will be. There’s the rest of us and then there’s Chip Foose. Guy is an alien freak lol, on a completely different level. I’ll never in my life get tired of seeing his visions. In my honest opinion he put Boyd Coddington on the map!!! Never saw Boyd do anything but delegate, Chip Foose is a GOD!!!!!!!
I had a 77 Monarch and it was a fox platform and after seeing Foose on the History Channel I cut the springs set it on the ground and got 56 pickup hub caps and now I can afford to do it right and I've been customizing and personalizing my vehicle's ever since
The Saleen Fox Mustang is probably the best look cars of that era. “Dated” or not, if and when I rarely see a Saleen on the road, they still turn my head.
I love it when these cars get attention. They are the most under appreciated cars and my absolute favorite! I have a hatchback... we don’t really refer to them as fastbacks. These cars can’t really be picked up for cheap any longer. We’re passing that point as they become more desirable and less surviving. I would love add a notchback to my collection. I’ve had lots of cars but refuse to let go of my foxbody.
We've been waiting for this for a long time, Thanks Chip for all the insight and vision. I bought a 1988 GT new and still own and drive her today 121,000 miles on the odometer one new transmission (5 speed ) and one engine rebuild ( original block ). Don't be surprised if you see a Scarlet red GT parked out front begging to be first one with a 5.0 FOOSE signature on the door.
Owned since New an Oxford White 1989 5.0 LX Hatchback 25th Anniversary Edition for 30 yrs when I had sell it in 2019. Kept all stock except for K&N Air Filter and Flowmaster mufflers. 225 HP off the dealer lot , which was a lot back in the day... Great Memories in that Car !
Thanks Hagerty and Chip, I am glad to see these videos. Thanks for letting us watch car videos. I day dreamed about the Fox Body Mustang when I was in High school and college. The two valve V8 engine sounds great with the right exhaust. My boss at the time had a roll cage installed in his notch back Mustang. I used to borrow my dad's 1992 T-Bird with the 5.0. Awesome car.
Good afternoon Chip, I can't believe how incredibly easy you make it look. That picture just appeared and look fantastic. You take care and stay healthy.
I have a 92 LX 5.0 red on red .i always wondered what chip would be able to do to improve my car .absolutely awesome chip Foose you are a master🙏🙏 I always love watching you draw the car before you build it
That foxbody shelby hybrid was gorgeous. Chip was one of the biggest reasons I got into drawing cars when i was a kid. Alot of my style comes right from him. Watching him on overhauling in the early 00's always amazed me
Chip, I have been a fan of your work for over 25 years and love your modern renditions of classic cars, and trucks. The C/28 you built was an awesome rendition of what Chevy should’ve built. I am a fan of the 87-91 Ford square body trucks and was curious if you could do a rendition of what one would look like if Ford had built a Lightning version.
I absolutely love notchback vehicles, I would own that foxbody any day. For now I just have my fiero formula notchie and my 87 Shelby charger. He did so much for dodge it's crazy.
Had a 93 hatch GT and loved it. Needed cash and sold it in about 30 seconds off Craigslist. I bout it from a family who’s grandad owned it and he was sick. It was perfect. He pulled a little John boat with it haha.
Wow man, you outdid yourself Chip. I never really liked Foxbodies honestly, but this sketch really makes me smile, I'd bet if it was made back then, it'd be an icon for years to come. Thanks for making my day dude.
I just can't draw crap but I love your work and I have been a fan AND because of you and Shelby, I went to tech school and became an auto technician. I have a Ranger that is screaming for a 5.0 or 4.6 swap. Thanks for your art. Love you man
Congrats on the Sponsorship, I look forward to them supporting future episodes. This was not my style for sure, but that's more Shelby's fault than what you showed. I hope you get the opportunity to do a Fastback in a fun style! I enjoyed my time in my old 5.0.
Thought exactly the same after only a few seconds of the video... skyline and later i saw a mix of a skyline with an old bmw m5, a calibra and a opel vectra or astra or sth...
In Australia, Ford lost its V8 option during the Fox body era. The 1982-84 Ford XE was the last to carry the 5.8 351 Cleveland in it. Come the 85 XF up until 1991 was the V8 gone from the options package on Ford Falcons, and not until the Falcon EB came along did the 92 model come with the 5.0 Windsor V8, as used in the Mustang.
I have a 88 Mustang notch just restored it finished last year just put SVT rims and Street slicks tires I have a friend who constantly build his own cars and he Got Talent where they could give him his own TV show. I'm in the construction business so I was able to trade off work he has two houses plus his parents wanted to do the kitchen's over so I did all the work for free and he did the same but last year that was a Ford competition took first place the trophy was a big Ford oval but I could not believe out of all the amazing cars on display that the judges picked my car as the winner.
Guys, this is a little touch up any of us regular guys could do for fun not a complete rehash of a missing Shelby. Chip I like how you think, low and wide, and move through air as if you were never there. I saw you in a 1965 chevy Corvair in a Mexican video. What was that about? I have one and I have some ideas I'm wanting to try. I can't draw a mark to save my life. Luv your work.
Foose is a legend nothing more to be said. The only thing I don't care for in just about 99.99% of his designs are the oversized wheels and the lowered car. I know that's subjective, but I just don't need a 20" rim with 1/2" clearance on the fender well. I'm probably in the minority on this, but it probably stems from the fact that I like classic muscle cars that honestly showed a little tire around a street-style rim.
Should have done an '85-'86 hatchback. Those were the best looking. Chip nailed it, relating the Fox Mustang to the 32 Ford. I would expand that to say the Fox Mustang became the '55 Chevy which had become the '32 Ford. 3 Generations of venerable Hot Rods. I'm glad to have owned 2 of the 3.
This rendering would be a great build, the only part that usually don't get upgraded is the old 80'$ interior! To be able to mold a new interior, plastics, trim, dash cover, and gauges to today's standard would make the car pop.
Dad had a friend nicknamed fast Eddie somewhere around the 1990's. He had a Foxbody pushing 700+ horse. IN THE 1980'S. Sounded like a monster truck when he started it up.
That drawing has an uncanny resemblance to my '90 Fox Notchback, color and all. It is amazing how similar this looks to it, lowered, front air dam, ground effects all around . The wing on the rear deck is larger than the one Chip drew, providing much needed downforce over the rear of a vehicle with a notorious front-weight bias that is currently set up as a bracket car.
Always been a fan of your art. Before my disease took my strength I thought of going to school for industrial design. I wanted to have influence on a line of products. Specifically wheelchairs and cars. I never got past the amateur level of drawing and ive never been well enough to work but when i dream of car design i want to be like Chip. Jesus loves you Chip. He loves everybody. We just need to love Him too. John 3:16-21
When I had a fox body, I wanted to do a gt500 tribute build and incorporate some of the same things Shelby did on the gt500. Things like a big block, 6 speed, brakes and suspension. Use an IRS be it from the later model cobra or a modified T-bird set up. Incorporate the Fox T-birds rear tail lights. The Capri bubble hatch, and a body kit. But it was a pipe dream of a broke college student.
You're the one who got me started sketching cars, Chip. Love your style!
I have always wanted to. Yt my hands were no good
Chip doesn't draw a car, he dreams up the finished project & then him and the A Team bring em to reality. Truly the Carroll Shelby of our Generation
@@markprice2225 sadly he missed the mark on this one and made the car look worse
@@msk3905 Yeh, we'll really trust your opinion whoever you are. Even more so when you don't explain why. HA
@@mikekingsborough1 so should we trust your opinion, not seeing anything meaningful from you?
the simplicity of the foxbody is what makes it great, especially the notchbacks
The Foxbody is like that car you didn’t like at first but now you’re finding out to be a really cool car
It’s fascinating that he sketched this out with a pen so inexpensive and that many complain that they suck
As someone who also designs cars, cheap pens have the perfect flow for sketching cars.

yup totally unique sound all its own with flowmaster 2 chambers and an off road H pipe. you dont even need to see its a fox mustang, just hear it
Those Mustangs have better sales than the Camaros, but by early 1990, Ford felt that despite great sales, they going to make major changes to the Mustang, ; unpleasant changes.

Notchback Mustang aren’t reasonable anymore, they are the most expensive besides Cobras.
Even a roller isnt cheap.
@@Mangobrain82 Its cuz most of them are trashed from being turned into drag buckets. They were always the lighter, faster bodystyle and the dragstrip dwindled the numbers. They have grown on me as I was always a hatchback guy but a slammed coupe with some fat ass meats out back always looks killer.
Lets also not forget cash for clunkers. That also helped demolish what was left of the plentyful supplies of cheap foxes.
Lol was thinking the same thing
Foose is a genius
It’s nice to see the foxbody getting some respect
We’ve had one since 93 in our garage
wanna sell it to me??? lol
There's a feeling so relaxing and satisfying watching Chip do this car sketch. Now go to your shop and make this bad boy come to life!
I dunno if Chip is up to speed on notchbacks or if prices are different where he lives, but in Texas (and what I've seen on Autotrader) notchbacks with a 5.0 in good condition are not $7.5k. More like $15k. That aside, his take on a Shelby notchback is wicked!
I came here to say the same. I’m up in New England and you can’t fine a nice notch period. When you do find one they’re $15K or more.
same in CA and AZ. Hatches are and always have been easier to find than notches...
Well... it’s official now. 👌
BREW2L, you’ve got the best Fox content on the net in my opinion. Congratulations on the new barn and lift. Can’t wait to see what that Gen 1 is going to look like. Much respect from the Motor City.
Hell ya good for all the already owners.. Already seeing the prices going up in FL. Last real muscle car in my opinion.
yup, hey at least we'll stop seeing cheap chevy guys buying them and putting in junkyard LS motors in them.
I have that exact car he is rendering off of. I thought it was mine.
I had a 81 notchback back in 1995. My brother and I spent the whole summer of 95 fixing it since it had a blown motor in it.

You're good but are you Chip Foose with a ballpoint pen good?
Im not even good..lol
that was the main thing that i noticed lol
im like....is he using a bic ballpoint?.......sure is.
spot on!

I've seen 93 cobras in the 20k price range so idk what area of the country you're looking in but its the wrong one lol
Yup, bought my 92 calypso green coup for 15k. And it was the cheapest one they had
I bought a 89 GT all original stock with 80k miles for a whopping 2,000 dlls this past summer,
They crazy

Dated design... It's the AK-47 of mustangs chip. Go try to find one cheap now. Even junks expensive
100%
When he said notches were easy to come by I had to laugh. They are the most in demand now.
Idk where you guys are from but where I'm located fox bodies with rotted strut towers and frame rails run RAMPED
They've gone uo like stio expensive.
The Notchback is still IMO one of the best looking Mustangs
love my 91 GT. Thanks chip for showing some love to it.
I love these episodes man. The art of drawing these machines is diminishing with time.
Purchased my 93 Fox-Body LX 5.0 new in 93' and still have it! All original with only about 23,000 miles. Fun to drive in 93 and still fun to drive in 2021!
The final product looks very similar to a 1988 Ford Thunderbird.
Exactly my thoughts the whole time
Looks like a Thunder Coupe... I completely agree..
That’s a good thing. I always thought the tbirds look better.
Thunder , Thunder , Thunder Chicken!!!!
Yup sorry but he ruined the coupe
I'm glad the Fox body is getting attention! I have a 1988 Mustang GT convertible that I bought at San Gabriel Ford brand new
@@ivorwm2291 ever sell it? Come back to UA-cam and let me know please

The SAAC(Shelby American Automobile Club) built a Fox chassis Mustang in 1991/1992 with Ford and Carroll Shelby's blessing(they sanctioned the build). They bring in big bucks due to their limited build(just over 60).
I liked ho the stripes ended at the hood. Not wrapping all the way down the bumpers.
Those SAAC mustangs were cool looking cars. My buddy has a set of the SAAC valve covers on his fox body.
They made them into 93 also. They also made a “lesser” version called a Snake.
Funny ... I knew Carroll from our Odessa, TX days when he was hocking his bagged Chile Mix Recipe (which was friggin awesome). Truth ... Carroll didn't design anything.

Foose....and a hand full of others.....god given talent not wasted....👏
Wow man, you outdid yourself Chip. I never really liked Foxbodies honestly, but this sketch really makes me smile, I'd bet if it was made back then, it'd be an icon for years to come. Thanks for making my day dude.
What Chip does with Magic Markers is amazing. Great artist and all-round car guy.
Magic Markers? Ha! They are AD markers at about 3-5$ per if you can find them. The magic is in his technique.
I've had an 89 GT since 1990.
Watching passion never gets old. Bravo and God Bless👍🇺🇸
What an awesome redo on the Fox-body! I would love to have one that looks like that!! Slightly darker blue but the overall design for sure!!
My dream car as a kid was the 93 GB with the two tone blue and grey. SVT wheels...I still drool thinking about owning one.
idk what I was expecting but this just looks like a regular fox body. Foose is the man regardless
I just can't draw crap but I love your work and I have been a fan AND because of you and Shelby, I went to tech school and became an auto technician. I have a Ranger that is screaming for a 5.0 or 4.6 swap. Thanks for your art. Love you man
Now that's a great design Carroll Shelby himself would be proud
All those art supplies and he uses a cheap Bic pen and does amazing! This guy is an artist
Wish this version was available right next to Saleen in the day . I would have bought the Shelby ! hands down ! Thanks Chip !
Wow, amazing how much that looks like my E36 M3. The first fox body I like. Good job.
This dude is drawing that car with a BIC pen… chip you are amazing
That red notch takes me back. Had one just like it, same ride height and black moldings. The one I owned had replica GT500 wheels and red interior.
I could watch this work for hours and still see something new every hour!!
Congrats on the Sponsorship, I look forward to them supporting future episodes.
This was not my style for sure, but that's more Shelby's fault than what you showed. I hope you get the opportunity to do a Fastback in a fun style! I enjoyed my time in my old 5.0.
The Carol Shelby style fox body looks kind of like a Skyline
Thought exactly the same after only a few seconds of the video... skyline and later i saw a mix of a skyline with an old bmw m5, a calibra and a opel vectra or astra or sth...
@@TheFastStang if the grill and the hood looked a little different, I could see some BMW for sure. Although a 2JZ swapped fox body would be sick.
Gives me alot of e36 m3 vibs
Exactly what I was thinking, and I like it..
I like it as well. But I wanna see what a vert and hatch look like as too lol
@@mattrebacz now that would be hot 🔥
In Australia, Ford lost its V8 option during the Fox body era. The 1982-84 Ford XE was the last to carry the 5.8 351 Cleveland in it. Come the 85 XF up until 1991 was the V8 gone from the options package on Ford Falcons, and not until the Falcon EB came along did the 92 model come with the 5.0 Windsor V8, as used in the Mustang.
I have a 88 Mustang notch just restored it finished last year just put SVT rims and Street slicks tires I have a friend who constantly build his own cars and he Got Talent where they could give him his own TV show. I'm in the construction business so I was able to trade off work he has two houses plus his parents wanted to do the kitchen's over so I did all the work for free and he did the same but last year that was a Ford competition took first place the trophy was a big Ford oval but I could not believe out of all the amazing cars on display that the judges picked my car as the winner.
Not much of a Ford fan, but you have the talent for making anything look awesome.
Guys, this is a little touch up any of us regular guys could do for fun not a complete rehash of a missing Shelby. Chip I like how you think, low and wide, and move through air as if you were never there. I saw you in a 1965 chevy Corvair in a Mexican video. What was that about? I have one and I have some ideas I'm wanting to try. I can't draw a mark to save my life. Luv your work.
I have a 91 5.0 notch back and would like my car to look like that for sure.
Where did you go Chip ? King of the craft!
Pens + Markers + Foose = Masterpiece
Chip foose is profection at everything he sets his mind too I love his vehicles and art work
Foose is a legend nothing more to be said. The only thing I don't care for in just about 99.99% of his designs are the oversized wheels and the lowered car. I know that's subjective, but I just don't need a 20" rim with 1/2" clearance on the fender well. I'm probably in the minority on this, but it probably stems from the fact that I like classic muscle cars that honestly showed a little tire around a street-style rim.
Hold up... we all know it would've got the 5.8 dropped in....
It has some lines from 90's BMW's. I like the straight lines of the 80's and 90's cars. That's why I love my 1985 GLH.
That design made the notch back look good, I would take that version of the notch back. I always preferred the hatch-back's lines.
$40 in 1940 is $800-850 today adjusted for inflation, so being able to take a 75k fox body to the track compared to back in the day is worlds apart.
Should have done an '85-'86 hatchback. Those were the best looking.
Chip nailed it, relating the Fox Mustang to the 32 Ford. I would expand that to say the Fox Mustang became the '55 Chevy which had become the '32 Ford. 3 Generations of venerable Hot Rods. I'm glad to have owned 2 of the 3.
This guy uses a pen and markers that you cannot erase! My mind is blown… This guys a true artist
This rendering would be a great build, the only part that usually don't get upgraded is the old 80'$ interior! To be able to mold a new interior, plastics, trim, dash cover, and gauges to today's standard would make the car pop.
A Foose "Thundersnake" do it!, Chip!!
Your art just jumps off the paper!
Love it, thanks for sketching the notch back coupe!!! I really want a print copy of this one.
Dad had a friend nicknamed fast Eddie somewhere around the 1990's. He had a Foxbody pushing 700+ horse. IN THE 1980'S. Sounded like a monster truck when he started it up.
That drawing has an uncanny resemblance to my '90 Fox Notchback, color and all. It is amazing how similar this looks to it, lowered, front air dam, ground effects all around .
The wing on the rear deck is larger than the one Chip drew, providing much needed downforce over the rear of a vehicle with a notorious front-weight bias that is currently set up as a bracket car.
The notch fox body is one of the few cars I find no flaw with, I would proudly own one in stock or near stock format.
Do you offer reprints of the drawings?
Would look cool in the garage..thanks
I like it need one of those I have a 93 I bought when I was 19 I wish Foose could redo it bad ass he's the man
Always been a fan of your art. Before my disease took my strength I thought of going to school for industrial design. I wanted to have influence on a line of products. Specifically wheelchairs and cars. I never got past the amateur level of drawing and ive never been well enough to work but when i dream of car design i want to be like Chip.
Jesus loves you Chip. He loves everybody. We just need to love Him too. John 3:16-21
My first love 🤣. I’ve had three foxes (hatch, coupe & conv) over the years and had so much fun with them. Great platform.
started as a fox coupe and ended as a thunderbird super coupe. but still very cool to see Chip foose do a 80s stang
Definitely one of the best doing it! Wish ford let Chip design the new Mustang!
When I had a fox body, I wanted to do a gt500 tribute build and incorporate some of the same things Shelby did on the gt500.
Things like a big block, 6 speed, brakes and suspension. Use an IRS be it from the later model cobra or a modified T-bird set up.
Incorporate the Fox T-birds rear tail lights. The Capri bubble hatch, and a body kit.
But it was a pipe dream of a broke college student.
