The Hot Rods That Made History | Chip Foose at Seth Hammond's Garage

Join Seth Hammond and Chip Foose as they look back on decades of hot-rodding, racing, craftsmanship, and friendship—spanning everything from early hill climbs to the RPM Nationals at Santa Margarita. This conversation blends rich history, personal stories, and the evolution of two lifelong builders who helped shape vintage racing culture. From pinstripes to billet aluminum, from the first shop days to record-breaking hill climbs, Seth and Chip revisit the iconic cars they built together—old and new—including the legendary 1975 hill climb car, today’s RPM Nationals racer, and Chip’s own 1947 Kurtis midget with an Offenhauser engine. Hear how early Ford engines, DOHC conversions, wire wheels, fuel injection, and scratch-built aluminum parts shaped these machines, and how many of these cars were so fast they were literally written out of the rulebook. Whether you love vintage racing, early Ford performance, Bonneville stories, or just want to see Chip Foose and Seth trade memories, this is pure hot-rod heritage.
