For those that saw it, did you like it?? Steve, you dont seem too excited about it from the explaination of it.

No I like it. First of all it is a real PT car. It's not street rod-ish at all. The rocker extensions lower front valence are very subtle and tasteful. Stance/ride height is good--and realistic. Not too low. Single wide stripe is alternative--which I like. The custom grillework? I dunno. You either love it, hate it, or barely notice that it's different.

My only gripe is the rear suspension. I can't figure out HOW it works let alone decide if it's worth a damn.

As for the overall vehicle, remember that Unique tailored Foose's design for "semi-assembly line" production. So the 335's in the drawing became 295's, the ride height increased, etc. And the money? The cars will have aftermarket front and rear clips, full custom interiors, all new drivetrain, good brakes, etc. Will they be sold at premium plus? Sure, but the hardware still adds up.

I'm sure Unique's target customer (not us) will think they are getting a deal.

In the end, ya had to see it in person.
