Is the VW Beetle Germany’s '32 Ford? | Chip Foose Draws A Car - Ep. 20
Few cars put a generation of would-be motorists on the road in numbers rivaling that of the Volkswagen Beetle. Chip Foose feels the ubiquitous People's Car from Germany is much like a 1932 Ford, and deserves to be customized to reach its full design potential. Considering their price and availability, it makes sense to go a little wild: Chip alters large chunks of the Beetle's iconic body and makes an impressive roadster out of it.

Absolute genius. The tension line though the car. Chip is a true artist.
Excellent. Now take a Plymouth Prowler and turn it into a Beetle!

Do you know Plymouth was designed by foose
There already is a VW Bettle hot rod. It's called a 356 Spyder.
I'd like to have my ol' '67 VW back. It was a special model with a 1500cc motor for that year. Actually, they were '661/2 year models that got titled for '67 and were all of one color...basic moss green metallic. Mine had the gas heater and solid "moon roof". Wish i had it again. That car was so much fun to drive. I like the one you drew with one exception and that would be to have front axle back a few inches from where you had it. Otherwise it was good :) I did a model of a VW with a turbo Buick v6 up front( with clutch)with a driveshaft back to the gearbox.
I don’t see the Prowler as much as I see Chips unifying form and function. Open wheels, chopped, elongated prow, possibly widened . Beyond a Manx, beyond a straight dune buggy, beyond constraints! Imagine this thing with a Ford V6 twin turbo?

I remember early Chip Foose. Back when it was " Foose, yeah we heard of him". But Wow, what you have done to the auto industry, factory, aftermarket and hotrod and custom has been so influential. Anyone who digs autos in any form owes a debt of gratitude to you. Way to go Mr. Foose you paved the way for many to enjoy You 'da man!

I've never seen something like that before, turning a vw bug into a hotrod, someone should come with a name for it, something like Volksrod for example. LoL

When I was at Chips shop during the overhauling beetle build he drew a similar beetle that I would love to build, front engine air cooled rear wheel drive🙂. I think the sketch got pinned up in his shop, I always wonder if it still hanging there.
Why Foose is such a great designer?.....he's an incredible artist. As simple as that. His designs are pure art.
I love Chip and I love watching these but when I turn away it feels like Martin Sheen is hosting some new version of Bob Ross's The Joy of Painting. That's not a bad thing. "Now I'm just gonna paint a happy little scoop here..."
I absolutely love Chip and his work. He has great skills. What got me in the video was the fact that he has enough pens and pencils to save Tokyo yet his go-to is a Bic Round Stick. I love it! Thank you Chip for keeping us humble.
I love the idea would be fun to run with it! building a beetle is on my to do list at some point. I think keeping the motor in the back would make it unique from all the other roadsters out there! I love watching your ideas come to life on paper. Thanks for sharing.

I'd love to see one of these Beetles built like a 'fat fender' era kustom. That doesn't mean I don't like the idea of a hot rod style bug... 👍 What makes it easy to use them for such projects is the fact that the overall shape of the Beetle didn't change much over the production time. Thus you don't have to take one of the (nowadays getting quite rare) early ones to cut up for your project.
This would be a nice build to see happen! I can imagine the interior..
It's literally a Plymouth Prowler

This is so inspirational to me, I've been building a vw on a s-10 frame with a motor in the front, I have looked up to chip for my art my whole life. And I agree, why have something anyone else can have, make it your own.

Gee, that's almost as exciting as building an S-10 on a Beetle chassis with the ENGINE in the back.
If you have a budget, the beetle is the perfect car to start with, can do heaps with a beetle. Off road racer to full restoration to beach buggy to hot rod and everything in between.
Chip you are amazing love your work and your attention to detail
Chip Foose love your artistry and love your creativity. I bet Volkswagen never saw there beetle like this before
it's a VolksRod, but not as we know it! I love Beetles And I love Hot Rods, so this is the perfect blend of the two. You could offend a few more people if you decided to put an air cooled Porsche motor between those meaty back tyres, and I for one am all for it!
Chip Foose: madman car design genius.
I would love to see you build one of these Chip. Awesome concept drawing. :-)
Sweet design, let me know when you're ready and you can do this to my 68 beetle!

To be unique instead of a hot-rod i would do a custom 2 seater pick-up from a beetle but with some up-grades parts from Porsche (engine, gearbox, suspension & brakes).. that would be unique, practical and fun ! The thing is i can only resume to sckhetch wile Chip Foose can do the whole shebang since he is also fabricator, welder, mechanic, painter, stylist... etc.

Plymouth Prowler? Again? Wonder what that drawing would look like if, He kept the front stock to back of front fenders, from rear of front fenders to firewall stretch for chosen engine. I guess it would tip hat to Chrysler Airflow

Brasil - São Paulo Cada projeto é uma obra de arte. Muita saúde e sucesso
The designer of the VW Golf actually designed at his dinner table.
Well, it's ok design, pretty much seen in other iteration of design, but Master Foose PrePorsche is still the banger. I would add some shiny rollbar, and some slick bumpers, but would not change the engine/transmission configuration. Maybe even ask Porsche for collab, for AWD Roadster/Beach Buggy.
I love how he uses a simple bic pen for the outline
I always compared the model t to the bug but i see your point... i would make it more VW less imagination ... but that's me... lots of cool rat rod VWs out there

Its like a Hotwheels!! Nice design, like always
definitely need a conversion kit for that... WOW and maybe one for a boxster.

My drawings of cars as a kid included the 1985 Ferrari gt, pantera, delorean, and the Ferrari spider... Drawn before the cars were invented or made in real life! I drew them in 1980!! They were my ideas about how cool cars could look if I could build one myself!! Fast forward to the present... The only car I can afford to build for my son is a VW beetle. Not even close to this super mod photo!
