I don't know that I would call it rough.. Chip told me the car is about 95% of what he wants and they will still be changing a few things.. like the hood shape and guage cluster.
The lower front facia and lover rocker extensions were SWEET.. I don't know if I can ever get used to the car with no rear spoiler but it looked ok..
What it needs..
The complete Marquez billet set-up.. somebody from that company needs to contact Unique..
A DSE wiper motor to replace the crappy looking stock one.. hell, with the big block you can't even pull a valve cover without pulling the wiper motor..
Nicer firewall and inner fenders.. fill in the divits in the inner fenders and smooth the firewall better..
The parts on the car are very nice.. just needs more TLC on the install.. maybe they should hire me
I didn't even realize that Ricks Hot Rods made a stainless tank for the car.. I didn't crawl under it.
I look at that car and I look at my old 69.. my engine bay was nicer.. my paint was pretty close and my interior was about as nice if not a little better.. Fooses car had a nicer undercarriage and a more expensive motor..
My car $60k and his $120k... hmmmm
Then again my car does not have the Name FOOSE attached to it.. and mine took almost 2 years. I used to think the Elenore cars were overpriced at $190k but since they sold out I guess I was wrong.
Also, I heard the price will be close to $100k and not $200k...
The Foose overhauling green Mustang failed to get a $75k bid on Ebay..
again.. hmmmmmmmmm
