The Foose Hemisphere is parked out front right now. - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

*Yuri* · 10-10-2007, 03:27 PM

I just came back from lunch and saw this. I snapped some pics, since Chip usually drives his truck and not something this awesome.
After I took the pics, I was sitting at my desk getting ready to eat lunch, and he surprised me with slap on the back (I didn't know he was standing behind me.)
Chips one of the few designers in the automotive industry I respect, and handiwork like this is one of the reasons.
Hope you guys enjoy.

SO. FUCKING. AMAZING.

i love chip foose, he can design/build cars like no other, AND he is NOT a douchebag, unlike boyd coddington.

Through work.
MHT builds his wheels.
I design for MHT.
He just drove off in it.
You could hear it accelerating for several blocks. It's frigging surreal hearing and seeing that thing go down the street.

**ThatGuy** · 10-10-2007, 03:44 PM

Sloth, Yuri designs wheels.

Chip comes there to build his new wheels.

I have the markers Chip borrowed from Yuri to design the custom wheels for his wifes car.

Yuri is awesome. Chip is Incredible.

Yuri, I am jealous Bro.
Tell Chip I said hey.

The Hemisfear is an awesome concept and build.

Chip and Yuri could build ANY car for me, and I would love it.

VROOOM · 10-10-2007, 03:52 PM

you need to design some new wheels that look like money symbols. im sure i would see tons of them near my work

IIIXziuR · 10-10-2007, 03:55 PM

Man this is awesome.
Kudos to Yuri for getting those sick pix and for having such an ace job, thats great dude!!

Like I said in the other thread. FLAKE is good. Bass boat/Glitter is not.

Mike, why don't you hit up Chip and recommend him some lights.

That's what I thought until they turned on.
When they turn on, they have a crazy pattern of LED's that are just insane.

Why not, I already did some spinners that incorporated the Superman logo for Shaq.

**ThatGuy** · 10-10-2007, 04:13 PM

Simply amazing that he designed this car as a student back in 1990.

Yuri, when he brings it by again, can you get a shot with the lights on?

I can't find any pics of it, and your description has intrigued me.

santacruisin · 10-10-2007, 04:36 PM

pics of rear wheelz pleez

**ThatGuy** · 10-10-2007, 04:44 PM

Matej · 10-10-2007, 04:49 PM

It's like a new school hotrod.

Reminds me of the Chrysler/Plymouth Prowler.

**ThatGuy** · 10-10-2007, 04:52 PM

^If you watch the video I posted, that's is what Chrysler wanted designed.

Chip went above and beyond what they wanted, and finally built it for himself.

OurOnePassion · 10-10-2007, 04:54 PM

You know, I'm not at all a fan of this style of car... but the quality work in this car is nuts!

Looks sort of like the front of a fighter jet -- from the wings up to the nose. Needs missiles.

UfoZ8myCow · 10-10-2007, 05:01 PM

Dear Yuri,

I hate you for getting to see this thing in person.

Love and kisses,

UfoZ

2iv0 sx · 10-10-2007, 05:01 PM

Which one is your car parked in the second pic?

Car is candy sweet! Cute! That might be an understatement...

Which design in particular? Chip designed a few cars for Boyd in the '90s while he was an in-house designer for him.

ayuaddict · 10-10-2007, 05:33 PM

wow that car looks super hot in black, or is that un-painted carbonfiber?

zomgdrft · 10-10-2007, 05:38 PM

Guess I'm in the minority thinking it's pretty damn ugly. Oh well.

The engine/internals give me a woody though

**ThatGuy** · 10-10-2007, 05:39 PM

The stripe down the side is clearcoated Carbon Fiber to show off the fact that the body is full CF.
