Default chip foose vs boyd coddington

does anyone know the history between these two?

been watching a lot of american hot rod and overhauling (and wrecks to riches USA) and seen how upset boyd gets when his staff go over to chip foose

Foose is crap BOYD is ace, boyd makes one off master pieces foose paints them and tarts up std stuff.
Foose is easier on his workforce though, still like boyd better though.

I heard Boyd DDT'd Chip off top rope and killed him, but then Sensational Queen Sherry and Macho Man Randy Savage came in.
She distracted the Ref, he knocked Boyd out with a chair, placed Chips body on top of Boyd, and the ref did the 3 count, giving Chip the win.

Oh sorry, thought this was another Dojj special

I dont watch these programs that much, but I sooo reckon Boyds wife was getting nailed by that one guy that left, the way she got so upset and the looks she was giving him, the "i dont want you to leave as i like the way you put it in my ass" looks

Sherri not Sherry

i think the problem with foose is that he's a bit of a one man show, whereas boyd has a whole heap of people running the show for him
he got famous from his wheels and then went on to do the hot rod stuff and he charges huge amounts of money for his cars

chip on the other hand, doesn't sem to mind getting his hands dirty but then does spend a full week working every hour to get a car finished

i wonder how much red bull he drinks

Yeah what's the score with Boyd marrying a women who looks younger than him (fake boobs?). But having seen his first wife, fair enough (or should that be hairy muff), and she works for him as well! Charlie banging Mrs Boyd number 2, yep! 'Sorry honey need to spray this hot rod tonight', more like spray the milf with my HOT rod!!
Foose does seem to be very passionate about what he does and gets stuck in. With Boyd it'll probably kill him if he used a machine now.
But who would you work for? Boyd or Foose?

Imo, Boyd is a humourless prick. I'd take the job if he offered it though

Foose is an awsomely talented designer, better than boyd, I just prefer the boyd stuff.
Boyd was building these cars and getting his hands dirty before the dawn of time, so has worked his way up.
What they each do is totally different, and unique in thier own right.
I do agree as said boyd is bloody hard to work with/for, but he certainly knows his stuff, I personallt prefer it to foose's that's all.

Foose all the way, he has an amzing gift to hugley mod a car, yet keep it looking like it was from the factory like that. Very talented.

Charlie wasn't banging boyds misses if you watch the whole series you will see that boyd takes in people like Charlei and Blue bear, they live with him and build them a life. Charlie wouldn't have the balls to dog her, they are all terrified of boyd, if anything he would have banged boyd

Hence, it was such a huge insult for him to go to Foose and such a big thing, that and he has bad history with foose. Bluebear , look how far he went before boyd let him go and you could see the pain in the bloke at having to do it

I couldn't work with boyd as he is very unreasonable, a bully, and can't take a joke, but there is more to him.

As for his cars, well, he didn't get where he is without grafting, he is alot older than foose and would say running the ship takes all his effort at his age, plus, they don't show you much of his decision making in that show, these cars don't just get built buy the lads on the shop floor, boyd creates the car.
