He'll find a truck that somehow is just weathered enough to look cool, but not beat enough to suck.....then put a few hundred hours into getting us to ask: "wait...so what exactly did you do?" like he pretty much has with all his other projects.

Chip Foose mentioned once in an interview that the best modifications were ones people didn't notice till you told them.

That's always been what I try to do. I have done stuff that took me literally hundreds of hours to do, and 99% of people will walk right by it, but it's the 1% who stop and stare and just can't figure out what's different are the ones who make it all worthwhile.

Filled hood seam. That is the best extra 6 hours we spent. People only notice when they comment/check for rust on the hood valance, and realize its all 1 piece.
