Looks pretty impressive! Not that I would let them do that to a no. matching car that I owned! Thanks for sharing. I want to see that episode!

I will be definitely be tuning into that episode........

Personally I like more of the original look but if any of you guys want to submit my name to have my car jacked and totally done in a week.....I will gladly play along and even cry like a school girl at the end of the show when it is revealed!

I'm not normally into customs that radical,  but, that is pretty cool.

Foose really likes the silver and black combo........that has got to be the 3rd or 4th car I have seen him do like that!

very, VERY ugly wheels in my opinion, they looked alright on that chally he did, but not on a first gen charger.

Looks like he boogered up the interior too. >:(

The interior would of looked better in black in my opinion.

man do I hate those wheels!  Beaten w/an ugly stick

I think it looks great....wheels and all.

The first gen looks like it was made to sit low over the weels and the 2-tone paint does a great job of accenting the fastback.

The only thing I'm not crazy about is the shaker hood.
I ain't got time for pain, the only pain I got time for is the pain i put on fools how don't know what time it is.

Yes it looks like one on each side.

"OOOH, Big wheels and a split level paint job, dark over light, black over silver, big engine, new suspension..."

Can't they come up with something new? Why all the stupid big wheels? And man oh man, that color combo is getting old.... :rotz: Doesn't he have a new ideas? If this is the way muscle car modification is going to go, I see it being a very short lived trend.

 Like the paint, wheels and interior got to go. Pin Stars should only be on the right front fender.

I don't mind them slagging new iron as it is still replaceable. But the vintage ladies should be left alone. And I have to agree with others here - the black and silver was sharp on the first 10,000 cars, burt after that the novelity waned.

I don't like that at all!  But then again I don't like a lot of foose stuff other than the gone in 60 seconds Mustang.  He strips away all that is good about a classic muscle car and adds huge stupid looking wheels.  The quality of the work is excellent but the design choices are awfull.  Yuck!   :puke:

You'd be surprised, from what I've seen just on tv and mags, it's not that great, he should just stick to sketching.
And another vote for the don't like it side, nothing new on this project again, way too easy to give it a two tone, big rims and a big engine, all it takes is money, prefferably someone elses.
Damn I'm gonna be rich... :icon_smile_big:

My friend at work saw a 69 Camaro that he did at Sturgis this summer.  He said he looked it over very closely and he did see some flaws here and there.

Yeah I notice them even on tv, especially that RR they did last summer but on that one they clearly show the guys slapping bondo on it like there's no tomorrow, or a good hammer and dolly guy around.
The thing is, these guys are very likely skilled enough to straigthen that bondo so that even a pro couldn't tell but time tells all, all bondo and fillers which are 'overused' will sag leaving markings and flaws, sometimes not more than a fine line which you can only see planting your face against the car and looking for light.
There's tricks to keep them away with time being the main factor, something those guys don't have on tv.
This is truly THE most important guy in the shop, the guy that can straighten metal like no other.If his job is good, all that follows will be too.
You guys ever see 'a' team with Foose recreate a classic hotwheels car?Some futuristic pick up thingie with a weird round cockpit and surfboards on the back, they made that scale 1;1, now THAT was interesting to see.
