Real nice build! Not digging the dash or wheels though. Something about wood grain doesn't do it for me! Still a great car though!!

Wow! that thing is cool.

I wonder what those tires sizes are? Anyone?

I just got home from LA, I was at the Mansion this weekend. Chip's cuda is really really nice. The craftsmanship is typical Foose Design. The color of the paint is very nice. You really have to look at all the details on the car. Chip told me he sanded the front bumper 14 times to get it that straight. The interior is real simple but extremely nice. Chip chose to run a stock dash and reworked stock gauges in the car. The car needs to be seen in person to be truly appreciated.

I will post pictures that we took tomorrow of the entire party.. It was a great time.

Thanks
Mike

Hmm... not feelin' it.

It looks like a finely crafted car but not my flavor of color choices.

What kind of steering wheel do you guys think that is???

It looks like a replica of an original mopar rim blow. I think Chip was trying to keep the feel of the interior 1970ish. The attached picture is of a true rim blow mopar wheel that could have been ordered on a 1970 cuda...

I think he is going with the OEM 70's theme where those colors were popular. Different and I think it works as a package. How many silver or black cars can you build?

I am just a bit tired of seeing "FOOSE" 20x all over everything he builds. I think one tasteful emblem is enough. Then again it is Chip Foose.

I know what you are saying, Mike, but I was wondering if it was a Grant wheel or what? I looked on the grant site and could not find it. Since Chip is a close personal friend of yours, could you call and ask him where he got the wheel?

or anyone else here have an idea what brand it might be?

i typically don't really like wood grain on cars like this, but honestly i think it works perfectly on that car. honestly when i read the description of it before seeing pics i thought it would look godawful, but i actually really like the execution. looks like a perfected version of OEM.

i'm not really a huge fan of the wheels and some other aspects of the paint job though... i would have liked to see some really big plus sized (like 18 or 19x12) steel wheels with oem looking hub caps and stuff. that would have been pretty cool. and maybe a solid color paint job?
