The answer for me is no. Though I like his work, I want my car built my way.

Shaaa....right! You got more in wheels and tires than I got in my whole car. Speaking of wheels, you want me to post that pic of your car with the dubs on it?

I hate you........ I told you those toyota wheels would look like doo doo.

I kinda dig it. It looks pfs from my house!

While Foose is talented and does quality work, no chance. His paint schemes and wheels are way too "Foose" for my taste.

68EFIvert · « **Reply #9 on:** January, 23, 2009, 10:44:22 PM »

I'd let him do my car. Heck when he did a 67 fastback he used the same side scoops and hood scoop I already purchased. On second thought maybe I would buy a new beater stang for him to do. :jam

Ya but you could sell your one off set of wheels for big money using fooses name which would pay for the paint job you wanted and probably the wheels you wanted, i remember an episode where they kept it classic with the wheels and didnt two tone it. im sure the research it a little to know that you wouldnt be mad with the paint job. I would hate to have the paint color and stripes that they did for the guys mustang that had a sick brother

anyone have a pic of the 67 he did

This one?

It belonged to the guy in the wheelchair. I met him about 3 years ago at the Knott's show in SoCal. We had a long converstion about his car (revealed in the Fall of the prior year) and as of that day (late April) he still hadn't taken delivery due to a long punch list of items that needed further tweaking. Very nice guy, nice family.

Starfury · « **Reply #14 on:** January, 24, 2009, 08:33:37 AM »

I wouldn't. I like his hot rods, but he takes classic muscle cars and tries to turn them into hot rods. Shaved doors, no side view mirrors, oversize wheels, slammed to the ground, two tone paint, etc. I like my Mustang as a Mustang. And if I were to have him do my car the way I want it, why bother having him do it? Besides, I'd rather do the work myself. I don't like letting other people work on my car.

Oh, and I still love your car, Jeff:) That's just one sexy GTA.

The '65 "brushstang" was pretty nice although the green and orange seemed a bt odd. I liked all the brushed trim, if forget how many hours they said they had in brushing all the chrome and stainless trim, but it was cool.

pnandy · « **Reply #16 on:** January, 24, 2009, 09:27:13 AM »

how big are those f'n wheels.

You say they actually took more time then 7 days thats good to know that they just dont half ass it then let you deal with it

Well to be honest I dont care to "pole" any man....

Punch list? Six months of work can't be considered a punchlist.... not unless they just pushed the car off to the side and forgot about it.

JeffTepper · « **Reply #20 on:** January, 24, 2009, 04:51:55 PM »

I recall the guy mentioning issues with the hand controls as one of the main areas. Beyond that I have no idea what else is on the punch list.

Absolutely, but I get to pick the chassis. May have just a little rust, I can always do a few add ons once he's done. I do like his work though.

Sluggo · « **Reply #22 on:** January, 25, 2009, 07:26:39 AM »

Looks like a trend to me.
I like his work and his attitude but I don't think I could relinquish all the decisions to him. Particularly the wheels and paint.
