    What I heard is they have to pay the taxes on the finished product but nothing toward the build cost itself.   :dunno:

    That was a nice car. I pretty much hate everything on it compared to a stock Cuda, you just can't improve on a perfect design.

     :iagree:  Correct!

    Goody (a member on here) had his dads cars done by Foose in the Las Vegas episode a few years ago, and that is what he said.  the thread is on here somewhere.

    Poor Cuda,so sad. I wonder, is there anything left to say it was ever a Gran Coupe, other than the VIN.

    I was really looking forward to this build but in the end I was disappointed. They should have left the car black. I don't like the wheels. To big and not enough side wall. They make the car look like a toy Hot Wheels car. I'm not a fan of the custom stripe either. Also to keep it more Mopar he should have not used round exhaust tips. Just doesn't look right on a E-Body. I understand wanting to keep the firewall clean but I think eliminating the blower motor was a no no. If it was my car I would not be happy.

    I wonder if the person getting overhauled has to sign something saying they will accept whatever is done to their car and not give an bad press about it.  It would be interesting to hear from the owner how she feels about the car.

    Why do we assume the owners don't like it ?

    Because when they unveiled it to the owner he looked like he was just asked to kiss his sister?
