Chip Foose or Barry White
I would rather own one of Foose's cars. I like some subtle custom touches - tucked bumpers, etc. Without those, it's just a car with a paint job. I like to see a finished product that is something my friends and I couldn't do in our shop, or couldn't have the vision to create.
To get an idea what Chip's capable of, check out "Impression". It looks sorts like a Ford, but all the body panels were made from scratch. You won't see Barry's cars winning the Riddler.
Chip gave an award to a friend at 2006 Autorama. He was really cool to talk to and didn't carry the attitude that most of the big name guys have.
