Found at SEMA: the talented, famous, gifted, and Corky Coker posing

Pure class act. This is the face of an honest guy, who has worked hard, played hard, and earned what he's got.
Chip was signing at about 3 or 4 different booths. Yup, high demand

and two vets of the automotive world, George Barris and Linda Vaughn

You're not the Fonz, Corky.

Terracuda by Foose

The story goes that one of his customers brought in a Breitling watch and asked Chip to make his car the same color. This was the result, a 1970 Plymouth Barrauda painted in Terracuda Brown with California Gold stripes, both of which are part of Foose's new line of paints developed with BASF.
The unibody of the original car was removed and replaced with a custom frame designed by Chip and built by Art Carr, and every panel of the car has been changed in some way. Chip wasn't satisfied with the front tires symmetry with the front bumpers and fenders, so they've been moved forward three inches to create less of an overhang, and the rear bumper has been cut down and tucked in. http://www.autoblog.com/2008/11/05/sema-2008-chip-foose-unveils-his-latest-creation-the-terracuda/




400 hours of work just in the front bumper
Here's the odd part, it was inspired when car fanatic Daren Metropoulos of New York met with Foose and showed him a Breitling watch – with a bronze anodized face - and said “THIS is the color I want.”
So why doesn't anyone by that name show up on the internet, anywhere?
