Once a Knight

Titus' Speedster represents classic looks mixed with modern accoutrements. Unlike many of the machines build by Foose Design, Titus' roadster was designed with practicality first and everything else second. It was in this spirit that a fuel-injected crate motor and six-speed tranny made its way into the roadster. To set this '56 apart from all others, a C5 Vette-inspired suspension was retrofitted to the tube frame chassis. To top things off in the performance department, a very mean set of polished Baer brakes were installed sporting 14-inch drilled and slotted rotors. Just in case you hadn't noticed, Titus' '56 has rather large aluminum rollers and needs just about all it can get in the way of whoa power.

Above all else the Speedster exhibits lines unlike any '56 out there. When looking at the entire package, everything just flows. After a more close examination, one starts to notice the smaller details such as the larger wheel openings or the flipped bumpers.

Chip Foose (born October 13, 1963) is an American automobile designer, artist,[1] and star of Velocity's reality television series Overhaulin'.

In 1998, with Hot Rods by Boyd facing bankruptcy (due to the failure of Boyds Wheels[5]), Foose left his position and with his wife Lynne started his own automotive and product design company.[2] He first set up in Orange, California, where, as his first project car, he rebuilt Boydster II for Chuck Svatos as the 0032 roadster, which went on to win the America's Most Beautiful Roadster (AMBR) trophy.[6] By 2000, he had established Foose Design in Huntington Beach, California.[7][2] Foose's departure from Boyd's was not amicable; in a 2006 interview, Foose stated, "Boyd has chosen to not have any relations with me, since I stopped working at his shop." One of the main reasons for the bitter relationship is claimed to be Foose retained many of the talented builders formerly employed by Coddington; Mike and Charley left Coddington's business shortly after Foose had established his shop.[4]

Foose gained more exposure in 2003 as a result of a TLC documentary on his design and creation of a modified 2002 Ford Thunderbird called Speedbird,[3][4] and due to his work building Ron Whiteside's 2003 Ridler-winning '34 3-window.[8] In 2004, the TLC program Overhaulin' debuted, with Foose as the star. At the 2005 Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) show, a unique 1969 Foose-designed Camaro convertible was displayed, to be produced in a 300 car run by Unique Performance of Dallas Texas.[9] Press releases announced UP would also be handling the marketing of Foose's other custom car lines, including Hemisfear, along with Foose's 2006 Mustang Stallion. Foose also designed a paint scheme for 4-time NASCAR Sprint Cup Champion Jeff Gordon to promote DuPont's Hot Hues paint line. Foose has since severed ties with DuPont and now promotes the BASF Glasurit paint line exclusively.
