I can verify that much. In 2006 at the Detroit Autorama we had a Pro Touring get-together at Fishbones down in Greektown. Afterwards my cousin and I were walking out and there in the lobby was Chip Foose. My cousin was too terrified to go up to him but I have never (nor will I ever) be fazed by a celebrity. I walked right up to him and told him I wanted to say hello and that I loved his show on TLC. He shook my hand and even asked what my name was. He spent about 5 minutes with me and my cousin answering all our questions and then letting us in on how the Overhaulin' show was being revised. I couldn't believe how personable he was. When his table was ready he extended his hand and said, "It was a pleasure meeting you, Tony, thanks for coming up to say hello."

First class guy.

As it should be...no matter how much of a celebrity you become.Chip Foose is certainly a down-to-earth class act.
Try that with Reggie Jackson and see how well that goes...lol.

I agree, Chip is a great guy. I'm a nobody off the street, and he talked to me like I was his favorite neighbor. Great guy.
I met Reggie at BJ a few years back. Didn't talk a lot, but seemed nice. His body guard was there.

Reggie lives in this area and I've have several dealings with him over the years so I'll just say this:He can and will come off as the nicest person on TV or if you're doing something to stroke his massive ego but get him away from that and he'll blow you off like you're from another planet and you have b.o. to boot.Not a pleasant person,trust me.
Ask anyone who's had dealings with him and no one will have a good word to say about him...shame too.

Yeah that's too bad. I didn't know that.
