13 gallons of Bondo... in one car?!?!? Was there ANY sheet metal left?
Quote from: Side-Oilers on November 01, 2018, 06:30:21 PM13 gallons of Bondo... in one car?!?!? Was there ANY sheet metal left? I'm thinking it might be 1 or 2 Gallons of Bondo per car (and know that most of it is sanded off) and the other 10 Gallons added to the Bill was just a way to skim Money off the top.

Well Chip Foose designed all that stuff and made off like a bandit, a few went to the Graybar hotel and the rest just seemed to scatter like rats if it was proven to the Feds that they had no real interest in bilking customers funds. I am not privy how the legal proceedings went but what was the equivalent to 10 cents on the dollar went to a few clients. That wouldn't lesson the sting at all but it was a dark time for sure to ride the wave of these cars.Steve Sanford designed Eleanor. Chip Foose only helped develop the 1:1 body in clay so the parts could be molded.Rich,Just a question...do you mean Steve Stanford? I knew him, back in the '80s. Nice guy and great car illustrator.

He had nothing to do with building any of the Aftermarket Cars.

Chip is an amazing custom car designer, but he only helped make the 1:1 prototype. He followed the illustration that was already created by Steve. If you have any doubts, look it up.
