JollySipper Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 I can see your thinking in saying Foose didn't build the truck, but every aspect of that build was designed by Chip. From the pancaked hood, sectioned cab, everything they did to that truck was Chip's design.He didn't build the cars on OverHaulin' either, he helped with a lot of the tough stuff, but most of his work was in the design aspect of the build..............

Dennis Lacy Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 In the grand scheme of life...Who Cares?What difference does it make in or to any ones life what name or "buzz word" Revell decides to stick on a model kit box. I feel bad for people who waste their time worrying about BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikemodeler Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Couldn't have been Boyd, he was dead by the time Foose's F100 was built. If you don't like it, then don't buy it, it's that simple. No need to rant on here about something so meaningless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VW93 Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 What bothers me about Revell is this statement regarding the Foose kits, " 2 of the 7 candidates will become Revell model kits with all new tooling".They will consider new tooling for a new Foose kit but are hesitant to tool a 57 Ranchero when they have the 57 Ford and wagon tooling to work off.I will pass on any Foose kits but would buy a 57 Ranchero or multiples of.

Bill Williamson Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Just came to the realization, that Revell is putting out the Foose F 100 ford? it's not a Foose, it was built by Boyd Coddington, aired on tv, for Foose's Birthday, or his dads, so I call BULLSHIT !!!!, and will post my complaint on Revells home page to, and I kno many of u will rush right out to buy it, like cattle, gotta have it because it says Foose on the box, so like the many fallow the heard, wont spend my money on it, will not support something like this, Oh I get it he owned the truck, so that makes it a Foose, right, ok, ok, I owned and painted many cars and trucks myself, guess I can call'em mine too, I just think it's bs, course I'm off my meds too, I just think its bs Revell sending it out as a Foose, heck the wheels look as if they came from a kit, already out there, wish I could remember which, its a pannel, kinda chopped, frog eyes for head lights, wierd wood grain sides, anyway, this should start a whirlwind of drama, not meaning too, just calling it like I see it....Before you start spewing out BLAH_BLAH_BLAH_BLAH at least have an idea of what you are talking about. Foose designed it (just like all the other cars for Overhaulin') years before it was built. He never had the time to build it so it was built for him by his dad and some of the Overhaulin' crew. Boyd had nothing to do with it. You might also want to work on your spelling and use of the proper word as that will lend credibility to your opion....whoops, opinion which you are entitled to. However the way it is presented now doesn't do you any favors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you pointed out, they have most of the tooling done for a Ranchero so it is possible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aurfalien Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 (edited) You go Gothicz. Its good to be passionate about something.I personally have no skin in the game as I don't build those type of subject matter (yet).But I can appreciate this topic as well as the back and forth. I learned a few things.PS Your site is really cool looking, I like it! Edited July 26, 2015 by aurfalien Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muncie Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 (edited) Chip's dad, Sam Foose led the build team for the updated truck. Coddington was not involved at all. True - and also true that the drawing was an original Foose design that he did for himself many years before the truck was built.gotta have the kit because it's a cool truck! - everything that I don't like about '56 Ford pickups and a lot of things that I didn't know about have been fixed on Chip Foose's truck.

Force Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 (edited) Some of Boyd's ex employees were involved in the Foose F100 build, for example Charlie Hutton who painted the truck (who at the time had left Boyd and were employed by Foose), and for the record, Chip Foose himself were employed by Boyd at one time...but that is not that important.I'm more interested to see how Revell are going to do this model, are they going to tool up a completely new 56 Ford F100 or are they going to take a shortcut and just do some new parts and modify the old 56 F100 they allready have.If they take the shortcut I'll pass, I allready have a few of the old F100's and they changed so much on the real truck so it would not be a correct Foose truck, but if they tool up a new truck I'll get one...the question is if Revell will spend the money to do that as the Foose truck is a one off truck and the tooling can't easily be used for anything else without doing severe modifications as the body is far off a stock body, Edited July 27, 2015 by Force Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slusher Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 I don't care if the man on the moon built it! All I care is if this is going to be a new tool or not! I believe it going to be new tooled and if it is i want one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Williamson Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Since Revell is doing this as a partnership with Foose one would easily assume that Foose is footing some or all of the bill for these first two kits at least. With outside funding alternative options from the tools is not as big an issue as if Revell were footing 100% of the bill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snake45 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Foose, whoever he is, means nothing to me. If I like the subject matter, and if the kit of it is decent, I'll buy it. I can "deFoosify" it myself, if need be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevenGuthmiller Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 Personally, I don't give a hoot about any of the Foose kits.The only one I'll even consider is the Cadillac.But that's just because it's something different.Too bad they won't offer the Caddy in a stock version.

With outside funding alternative options from the tools is not as big an issue as if Revell were footing 100% of the bill. I wouldn't assume Foose is spending any money on the tooling. More likely he is being paid some royalties for using his name and designs and Revell is looking for kits that resemble builds he has done in the past.If I were a betting man, I would say that the "new tool" will be more like a modified version of the existing F100 kit. Don't expect it to be just like the truck as shown on TV, they would have a bunch of money tied up in a kit that would have limits on future issues due to the unique styling.

There is no way in heck Foose is gonna foot the bill for these new kits, Revell is going to be paying HIM to use his name and designs.IF it is a new tool I'd probably get one cause it is a cool truck but I'm willing to bet it will be based on the tooling that is older than dirt and fit like @#%*. I The reason that kit is one of them that has been chosen is probably because they have 56 F100 tooling that's been paid for since the LBJ era.
