Description: Chip Foose tells the build story of Foose Design's unique Ridler-winning creation, the "Impression". Truly a masterpiece of hot rod design and elegance, the objective was to create the perfect mid-30’s roadster. Over 4,000 individual hand built parts were machined and fabricated. Brackets, covers, suspension pieces, trim, mirror, door handles and pedals are just some of the pieces that received the highest levels of attention. In fact, only 3 OEM parts can be found on the vehicle - the engine, the transmission and the center section of the rear end. Everything else is handmade, even the tires were custom molded as blanks with a handcut custom tread pattern.
