Worst hood paint ever

[70cobrascj]

OK, we've all seen some bad NASA hood paint jobs. Most are pretty close, some are way off, but THIS one takes the cake. The clincher is the seller appears to be a body shop. He's asking for best offer over $25k. I wish him the best getting that much.

Speaking of the Foose car,I don’t like the Foose car.
He did not appreciate the SR-71 inspired eccentricities of the 71-73 design. He thought he need to “fix” it by turning it into a more classic muscle 69-70 looking stang. He did a hell of a job but
Why not just start with a 70 to begin with? I guess he did create something unusual but I don’t think he succeeded in improving its body. Certainly a matter of opinion. These cars are an acquired taste. Most people would think it looks great I am just not one of them

I remember seeing an interview with Chip Foose, he said it was what the customer/owner of the car asked Chip to do to it.

LOL! It's the ruler straight leading edge that puts it over the top for me!

Here is a hood that is not so much a bad paint schema design, but look at where the Dzus hood locks wound up. Someone did not get the memo about using the mount extensions that attach to the radiator support bracket. Such a shame. I would have been so ticked if someone did that to our Mach 1.

I've got one like that, too. I guess they just put the hood pins straight down into the radiator support. then poked holes in the hood where they needed to be. Best part about it is they did it on the original flat hood. And then they did it again when they got themselves a NASA hood. So I ended up with 2 hoods with rogue hood pin holes.

Stripped it and put ospho on it

Now it has a marbled texture.

Guess the owner of this pony could not decide if he wanted it red or black....

Yes it did

I wish I had tested the power steering (didn’t work)

Was just a quick drive out of the garage to change it from backed in to nose in so I could work on installing the stuff firewall forward.

First drive

Good luck on your first drive.

Hate to be that guy, but some of these bad hood owners may well be members of this forum. Saying that as the proud owner of a meticulously rattle can spray painted hood that's afraid of ending up on here

OK, I better do the same. Here's the car as we found it in a field of sorts. Complete with fake scoop, hood pin holes that look like they were drilled out with a wood bit and them stripes.

My 72 Mah parts car had some bad painted on stripes.
