This goes to further show what a great job Ford did designing this car. When Chip Foose can't even make it look any better, you know Ford got it right.

Bleh. There are a number of members' cars on this site whose 05's look MUCH better than that. Bunch from the auto shows as well.

As much of a fan I am of Foose, I must say, this is NOT one of his better works. Like someone said earlier, it's just difficult to improve on the original in this case. Not horrible looking, but no way would I get out $40,000 for one.

ok...the ronale is fugly....sorry, but it is. that silver foose is much better looking. I think definitly it needs a more agressive front end....and loose the hood scoop. Two small scoops toward the front of the hood would look much nicer.


aite, I have to go home from work now and stop hitting refresh on that other page.

+1.
I usually really like his work, but this is not one of those times. Not sure what he was going for, but I don't think he hit the mark. Too much Eleanor influence (headlights, billet grill, lower opening, etc.) or something.

You should be safe. Your car is one of the one's on this site that looks much better than that Foose.

People need to try to do what you, I, and many others on here have done. And that's personalize the car (minor changes), not redesign it. Ford took care of that already.


Edit: Did I mention that I love this car? :headbang:

i like the two tone on3e better, less Eleanor/Ronaele type looks IMO.

reminds me wuite a bit of Doug's Centerfire

(Doug, build your darn creations!!! you could totally own!)

its not bad per se, but i agree, it definately isnt one of Foose's better design

that said, i still am one of his biggest fans. A great man and a great designer, foose is
