OVERHAULIN’S CHIP FOOSE STYMIED BY FIAT MULTIPLA

Automotive designer Chip Foose, who has fabricated hundreds of award-winning custom vehicles, broke down on the set of his television show Overhaulin’ last week after spending nearly the entire alotted week trying without success to come up with an idea, any idea, for customizing a 1959 Fiat Multipla.

Chip Foose tries in vain to produce a design for the Fiat behind him.

“I feel bad for Chip,” Overhaulin’ team member Wrigley Bulboff said while caressing a rubber bushing.  “He just sits there muttering to himself and sketching for hours on end surrounded by a huge pile of crumpled drawings.”

The team typically has seven days to produce a design and complete the project, and the deadline looms just 12 hours away.  “I guess if he doesn’t come up with something, we’ll just put in a new stereo and spray some Armor All on it,” said Bulboff.
