Customer Reviews

The car's the star
This will only be bought by fans of the series so you will very much know what to expect. I have to say that the cars are the real stars along with Chip Foose. The pranks are a bit of a pain and its interesting to see that this idea has been ditched in later series. Chip Foose does come over as a really nice guy but one who is hugely talented. One of the problems with the American Hot Rod series which rivalled this is that the late Boyd Coddington never got his hands dirty, Chip certainly does. It's also interesting to note that both Charlie and Mike, long time Coddington employees left to join the arch enemy Foose. I can see why. All in all it's an entertaining way for a petrol head to while away a few hours and the final results are superb examples of the custom scene.
