[VIDEO] Chip Foose Addresses the Small Details as Work Continues on a Custom ’62 Corvette

We’ve been following this custom build of a ’62 Corvette by Chip Foose for nearly two years now so it’s always fun when a new episode drops on YouTube. Part six of the series was uploaded on Friday morning and it’s appropriately called “Refining the Details.”

This is a one-off custom being built for a customer who we met way back in episode three and once finished, this Corvette will be an amazing work of art.

We love watching the master at work and this video shows Chip and his team working on various portions of the car. We see as some filler fiberglass is added to the doors as Chip didn’t like the looks of how the windshield and the doors aligned, and he takes some interest in one of the pieces of trim that runs along to the top of the front fenders as it wasn’t fitting as flush as he wanted.

In this episode, Chip and the team focus on the details. A-pillar trim and door tops are modified to keep a smooth seamless transition while the front fenders and fender trim are adjusted to eliminate a from-the-factory flat spot in the body. Front bumper fitment is checked with the new milled-out brake ducts. The rear lower valance is shaped and a flanged edge is added for strength and to prepare for exhaust in the future.
