Another car ruined at great expense.

Chip is a cool dude an'all.....bit, I couldnt agree more....another car pimped and ruined.

Each to ones taste I guess....

I'm watching it. It'll be interesting to see what he comes up with, and I don't know if I'll like it or not... can't argue with the skills, though.

I just wish there wasn't an actual "recipe" for a Foose car (slammed, 20"+ wheels, LS swap, gawdy upholstery, etc.).

I guess I'm just too 'old school,' or something. Give me a Count's Kustoms 'mild' restomod any day. ::thumb::

I respect his work, but I am not a restomod guy. We'll see....

Honestly, I'm in on this one only because of the ride height and tucked in look. Just the same, it'll probably run on wagon wheels.

Very interested to see how that '70 quarter panel flows with the lines, especially when dropped low over the S197 platform. The '71 Sportsroof/Mach quarter looks its best when the back end is a bit lower than the front.
