Radiator shroud looks like it has some influence from a Lincoln Continental hood.

- I am Currently restomoding a 71 Fastback. I designed a wide-body kit for the rear of the car and a more aggressive front nose. The back of the car is 6 inches wider than stock to accommodate the 315 on 12 inch rims.
Really nice. I still see a tiny bit of space that's unused lol. It's probably for air conditioning. So no space. All used and well done.

At this stage it may very well be a 5+yr project for me with 4 yrs already having passed. We all know it's a big job for a team of skilled people but as a side gig for one man with a young family and the help of some friends, it could still take what seems like for ever. Seeing Fooses ride come together is a good igniter for me to redirect limited time in the builds direction. The building journey is a blast but so is the satisfaction of completing a project.

Lol. I'm not diggin'em either but it's going to come together. The man has his vision and its always tasteful. I trust it will be a special car. Thanks btw for the compliment. We have the same taste in design it seems.

I like how the body line continues behind the rear wheel openings.

I think I just lost interest in this altogether, seeing the last few pics. :-/

I'm guessing this is not final wheel choice. It's funny how wheel trends have changed so much in the last ten years

I think your right about the final rim choice. Im pretty sure it's going to be something along the lines of 70's Pantera wheel in its design only in 18" or something. It is amazing to see the changes that happen to rim designs over time. More interesting to identify the what triggers these trends. I'm guessing the racing seen has a lot to do with it.

Hey guys , funny how we all meet on chips build site . Just wanted to say hi. I've had a close friend dealing with cancer and I've been giving all my time to her . Have no time for my build. Would be really nice to have a crew working on making my vision making it a reality, but , that's not gonna happen. Miss you guys, hope soon I can get back on mine. Life's not always fair, whether it's you or a friend. As far as chips build goes, just to make it official, I think he's incredibly talented and has the resources to make it happen. I might be jealous if I were that kind of person but instead I'm just greatful for all the energy given to our hobby and for some, a profession. Thankful for all of it. Just remember whether it satisfies your taste or not , it a all good. Kudos to chip and his crew.

Hope your friend can beat that horrible thing mate!
I'm glad someone with some automotive presence is going to shed some light on how great the 71-73 really is. I love how this forum brings us together with like minded individuals that can have a chat about it.
