HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 янв 2022
- Bob "Bones" and Carolyn's 1949 Cadillac is a beauty, but often leaves them stranded. So we helped build them a cruiser that could go coast to coast while leaving the body alone and focusing on drivability and comfort.
Modifications-
•LS3 w/ 6speed 6L90E transmission
•Roadster Shop Chassis
•Custom exhaust system utilizing Magnaflow components and 4 mufflers
•Custom fuel tank from Rick's Tanks
•Baer Brakes
•Rewired electrical
•Fixed top and windows
•Repainted firewall and hood
•Vintage Air system
•Custom 18" wheels designed by Chip, machined by Mike Curtis/Curtis Speed Equipment

Foose is the best of the custom car builders today.
I have to hand it to Foose Design, that Cadillac has a perfect stance and is nice n low but not too low. Good job guys!
I like that Chip is hands on with all of his builds.
Do ya ? Is that what you like ? Cool.
Definitely loves what he does.
and ruins many of them... Chip's a talented man, but he's always going one step too far (IMO) whether it's the style/removing all badges/chrome accents, etc., and his paint jobs many times SUCK!!
NO HATE, I'd consider it an honor for Foose to do any of my cars, but many times I don't like his styling...the rest he's a genius/ frame off builds and such, can't top him.
A gorgeous car now made reliable, safe, and a pleasure to drive by skilled craftsman.
It’s nice to see these older guys still working.
LOL, yeah man, I'm an old school hot rodder, 70 years young, and that was the first thing I noticed...... haha!!
Looks better with the fender skirts on, I love the car, a beautiful vintage vehicle needed to be keep original, just my taste.
Everyone says this keep it original But if you want to drive and enjoy it Then you make it modern. You can always bring it back to original. He never cut the car up..
I’ve always love the craftsmanship of Foose and the team. Two thumbs up!
👍🏾👍🏾
Wow, that car oozes pure CLASS!
Beautiful job guys.
That car is gorgeous ❤️
Always a pleasure to watch highly skilled craftsmen do their thing. Beautiful car, guys! ✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦
Superior! Thank you Guys, God Bless you All ! Best Wishes&Greetings from Germany! Mr.Foose,thank you for exist!
Foose magic, pure and simple.
Chip Foose & team just added 50+ years to the life of this American classic. Well done!
My favorite car and my favorite builder. What a dream
Beautiful car, what I'd expect from Chip Foose. Love it!
S-e-n-s-a-t-i-o-n-a-l.
Pure technique.
Got to Admire Chip. He has a plan is hands on from start to finish & the Execution of his guy’s work is Spot On. 👍
One of my uncles worked at the Clark Avenue Cadillac plant on the southwest side of Detroit from '47 to '87. He was a final assembly and road test inspector. My folks lived about 4 miles from the plant, he would stop by when he tested some unique Caddys to show us. Great memories of a bygone era of Detroit. I watched a neighbor repair and repainted an all-white '49 convertible in '59. It was better than new when he was done, and it stood out from anything else. Caddys then showed the world you arrived.
I really should stop commenting before the video is completely over. Those wheels are absolutely stunning !!
I like how the exhaust is properly argon purged.
Most exhaust fabricators either don’t know, or don’t care.
Usually purging is used when doing stainless for the food industry for standards, for an exhaust system, you don't really "need" to have it done as the exhaust will just eject any loose debris anyways, so long as the tube is sealed. You will also want to do it to any welds before a catalytic converter too, just to help with the efficiency and longevity of the converter. When you're working on the induction system, it's a completely different game, as you want to ensure that there is nothing on the inside of the wall that will make its way into the engine.
With Chip being Chip, he would want to make sure that the welds look as pretty on the inside as they do the outside, even though no one will see it. It's also why everything on the cars he builds have had time and attention given to it, even though it might never be seen again, as if it's not done to perfection, it shouldn't go on the car until it is.
@@MassageWithKlay
Not purging will affect the integrity of the weld, and cause it to crack due to vibration.
I’ve been doing this for thirty years, I should know.
A Work of Art !
True Craftsmanship... Foose is the best!
Subtle but superb ! Well you wouldn't expect anything less ! Great to nearly see Mike Curtiss ! Thankyou to all .
The Cadilac is beautiful nice and clean with a ls and the wheels look good CHIP FOOSE is the man 👍
Chip Foose has a unique talent of modernising tradition always with class then adding that touch of bling to make the car look original yet a bit spicy. Perfect‼️☝🏻🧐
Those wheels are stunning!
I must say that is the perfect way to take a restored car and make it a pleasure to drive in today’s world ! Absolutely outstanding !!!
Now that is a real RestoMod.
No music, quiet, very little dialogue, lots of build action: ALL CLASS.
Good lookin sled..! New chassis , drive train , wheels too...JUST WHAT I ORDERED...! Lol bravo
As a youth, I had a '57 Cadillac. It was the greatest car I ever owned.
Pittsburgh is full of hills and winding roads. That car held corners like an English sports car.
I’m always fascinated with Chip’s attention to details, the red around the new wheels just like red steel rims under the factory hub cap back in the day. My first car was a ‘57 ElDorado, I sold it to finance college, best lesson I learned, you won’t find another one like it!
This is a build going on in my head for the last 50 years the AM chassis and LS swap more the last 10. But, age, health and financial situation keeps it just that , a dream! Nice Nick name for it, Sweet Dream, baby!
I love it. Tastefully and meticulously done, but what else would expect from the master. Would love to drive it and experience the modern day performance, handling and ride, with that classic body and interior.
I like what Chip did to the car too, I wounder what something like that cost?
Probably $15,000 to $20,000
So much more enjoyable than the TV show. Trans '89.
It is a pleasure to see your work! Thanks Chip for all that you have done to the car design industry! It will be very interesting seeing you do something minimalist and quiet.
Chip Foose = legend
You are the best...☝️
Gosh that is just plain beautiful - well done everyone; nothing more to say.
Beautiful job guys............ That car is gorgeous ❤ !!!!!
I remember those big old boats with a three body trunk, this one is done right.
So cool to see people doing their job with an eye towards quality, not quick and dirty out the door.
Love those wheels!
I had an absolutely beautiful 52 Cadillac Convertible. Started perfectly cold, but hot it would barely turn over. After trying all kinds of things, I figured it out my self. I used a double ground wire, and that was it. Started like a new car thereafter. Sold it unfortunately because I was sick of idiots giving it door dings. I couldnt drive it and park it anywhere without being so nervous about parking lot hits. No matter where I parked it some idiot would park right next to me.
I heard a Muscle Car then SAW that! TRY showing mucsle cars and adding the sound track of that ride🤙fanartist😇always loved your work Chip.
YOU TUBE NEEDS MORE COMMERCIALS
presioso cadillac, un sueño, saludos desde España, ahora vere todos vuestros videos, gracias.
Chip is the BEST!!!!
I absolutely love all of the work the Chip does.
Chip Foose is in a league of his own . Sweeeeeeeeeeeet.................
Stunning, as always. When the money comes, I’ll send you a 1949 Series 60 Fleetwood Sedan for a similar treatment. Blessings on you all.
I have a '55 and '59 Fleetwood :)
Chip Foose…just a regular dude working away in the shop…caddy has always been my favorite sleepers…
Gorgeous Job!! Well done. Regards from Europe Barcelona Spain
That's sooo smooth. What a great car.
Unbelievable Style & Talent ASSEMBLED under one roof. No one goofin off, all as serious as The Foose Name itself. I know Chips more than capable, but I miss the veteran guy that laid out the Pinstripes like nobody’s business, (RIP 🙏) !
Hugely impressive. King of the road.
Chip...............pure perfection.
So calming watching those craftsmen at their art.
Was cool to see Mike. He looks like he hasnt aged
Amazing build! I'm always inspired by Chip because he can do it all! Design, fabricate, build, you name it!
Gorgeous 😍
We had a 49 Chevy deluxe convertible.
I can see the similarities actually ❤
Gorgeous.. When I first saw the car, I almost didnt watch this.. Didnt want to see an iconic classic, being chopped up and restomodded, but this car looks and sounds beautiful, and I would bet drives like a dream.. Well done.. ✌♥️🇺🇸
Seriously beautiful
Used to watch Chip all the time. Never commented.
Stunning Sir. Absolutely stunning.
Welcome back and glad you enjoyed it.
@@FooseDesignInc well, Thank you.
I love these long form build videos. Thanks for not speeding it up and adding distracting music. I'd watch it if it was 5 times as long.
Noted!
That’s a beautiful old body-new chassis and running gear Caddy. Love it!
Great looking upgrade, and just how I'd want it if it was mine. I noticed that the shots of the car driving at the end had the rear fender wheel covers removed, and in my opinion it looked much better. Amazing work!
Amazing what a bucket of spare cash can achieve. Old school with modern underpinnings. SUPERB.
Now that’s how you do a correct restomod. Awesome work Chip and the team. 👍
You're talking 60k in upgrades.
@@lop8828 that's not bad considering it's Foose quality craftsmanship, a full build now is well over 100k. I prefer paying the 60k .
Thank you for sharing this wonderful transformation with your viewers!
So nice.❤ Great workmanship.
Stunning
OMG !!!! At the car in the first clips though !!!!!!! Double OMG at the end !!!!!!!
another amazing build and I glad you didn't touch the body, that's priceless Americana.
Bones & Carolyn, Beautiful car congrats !
Man that's a huge car... that LS looks tiny in the engine bay...
Beautiful work as always.
The Foose team is amazing!!!
Speechless now the caddy is perfect
Outrageous, gorgeous and practical. Wow.
Good job Mr. Foose . Definitely, you know how to install the wheel …..
Oh Yeah my favorite builder/ designer. 😁😁😁😁
A touch of class that's hauls A$$.
Yay Chip… Yay Santa Barbara!
great job, i like this format showing the build progress
Gorgeous Car Chip, I love your work. You have a Great Team
Rolling perfection 👍
Truly incredible craftsmanship
Perfect music for the video.
Love that car my grandfather had one just like that got it new
Wow! Beautiful! So fine!
Artfully gorgeous
WoW !! fantastic as usual......these guys don't foose around .
Absolutely amazing 🤩
Now that was sweet !!! .
Just rechroming the bright work must have cost a bundle.Chip always makes something beautiful even better. This is so classy.👍🏻
Not to mention the difficulty getting work like that done these days. Chroming may become a lost art.
Beautiful job. Foose is a genius. Congratulations for the time.
Love the 4 muffler design. Rob's HP but makes a good sound. I get tired of everything sounding like a gravel truck. I'm guilty too.
During my younger years the exhaust had to be loud and proud. Today all I care for is dead silence. How the worm has turned.
@@johnvandeven2188 I think a powerful Caddy should have a low rumble telling you it's there but not get in the way of the conversation. This sounded really good.
Awesome Work
Great design is great on its own and does not need design upgrades. Non visual mechanical upgrades are OK but that's it!!!
Stunning car!
Crazy seeing Mike Curtis roll those wheels in. I haven't seen that guy since Boyd Coddington's shop. I know Boyd and Chip had some bad blood, but I hope they worked it out before Boyd passed away.
What A Super JOB...Beautiful Car... Really love those Wheels...!!
Mike Cutis is a wheel genius,
@@vinnieomahoney6359 Haven't heard his name for years. Good to see he's still making classy wheels!
