Who do you guys think it is?
Foooooooooose!
Since my brain was frozen in the '50s I would say George Barris!

There are a number of very good ones, but I gotta join in Chip Foose fan club. But then I am pretty much a newby at this so what do I know?

I enjoy most of Fooses style & design...depends on personal preferance
Two come to my mind. Keith Mastriforte and Jim Calandra. They did work on my brothers car that was outstanding and there work is like no other I know.
Troy Trepanier, Chip Foose, and a few others come to mind. Don't forget to include our very own Kenny D. when you are talking about the Who's Who List of Hot Rod Builders. The man doesn't have to take a back seat to anyone.
Actually it can be you. You are the one that is motivated & if you have the money to buy the tools & parts needed & have the time to develop the skills You can do a great job.

There ya go, Don. The next Chip Foose could be right here on CHR. IF he had the drive, determination, and motivation to make things happen. There are only 3 kinds of people. 1. Those who watch what happens. 2. Those who make things happen. and 3. Those who wait till it's all over, and wonder what happened.
I think Denny is... Mostly because he has basically my dream vehicle but other than that I don't have or know which would be the best. Chip definetely does have an eye for cars but sometimes (like with the paint) he sticks to one thing too much (ie: two tone).
But hell I am sure most of you don't even care but I am just making a statement. Troy does nice cars as well so far from what I have seen. I guess it all depends. I see some people build cars and they like to try and make their style look like someone elses, etc and they just try to hard and it turns out to be some big mess. I also have to agree about Kenny D's work, he has some SWEEET cars he has built that I have seen on his gallery and so forth.
All depends, the cars the people build don't all have to be glamorous and high dollar looking to be good builders either.
That's my own 2 cents.
Don...what St.Cloud do you live in ?
I think, if you got mega-bucks to spend, either Foose or Troy Trepanier. Otherwise, talking low buck, it's the personal builder who builds what he wants and drives what he wants. JMO And, I got to go with Shawn (FMX), Dave Severson seems to build some awesome cars, along with a few other guys on here.

Great comment.
Geez Duane, you made me blush. I can't hold a candle to the big buck guys. I build from inspiration, though some have accused me of getting the inspiration due to bad drugs in the 60's !!!!!
I would have to say Chip Foose from a design stand point, he builds and designs some very nice cars! However I like the style of car that Troy builds Insane amounts of power, killer looks, and cars that are built to drive, even though they are to nice to drive! Again I am not taking anything away from Chip because he is on top of the car world right now, I just like Troys style!
