Do you "trust in the FOOSE" !!???????

i don't think you can really compare foose to what mark worman does. foose is a very talented person. very few people could sit down and draw a car on a blank piece of paper the way foose can. he is really an artist. he comes out of the "california custom" school of cars that goes all the way back to george barris. the california car culture is very different from "southern nascar" or even mid-west street racers. foose is putting out cars that are popular in california. i don't care for foose's style but 20" wheels on a 71 cuda is nothing outragious (or blasphmous) to the nuts out on "the left coast." but i suspect that the foose operation as a business would probably build whatever car you wanted. i think what foose does on "overhauling" is just for the tv show.

as to mark worman ... well i have watched the show since the beginning. it was downright painfull to watch for the first two seasons - it's much better now. i don't know if worman actually believes all the bs he spews on the show or not. i suspect a lot of it is "just for tv." if you watch mecum or barrett-jackson you know that there are a lot of very professional restoration shops out there. in fact, in the 7-8 years i've been watching these auctions, i've never seen a car for sale that was restored by mark worman. maybe he just does cars for people who want to keep and drive the cars.

anyway, for the right amount of money i imagine chip foose will build whatever car you want - so will worman. but i'm sure you can't walk into foose's office for less than $50k and worman is now probably in the $30k range for anything. these guys are very different. actually, i probably would not take my car to either guy - just based upon the cost.
