What I've noticed in this thread is that most of you guys that are against having your car Foosed don't even bother to show us how nice your car is now. Come on now...do you guys even own an e-body? We want to see these cars that are just too nice to Foosify.  :popcorn:


Most of us prefer to build our cars ourselves, to what WE want, not what some guy we don't even know wants.


I'll be the first to admit my car needs work, but, unless Foose builds her the way I want, he can keep his hands off her.

Luckily, I heard a noise in my garage and fired a shotgun round in the air to scare away the culprits. As you can see, the Foose felons did manage to leave their mark.   :roflsmiley:

Nice photo shop job there KK.
Could you put those rims onto my Challenger. I liked the look of them on the Charger 500 on the cover of the Feb 06 Mopar Muscle magazine.

Well here goes one of my E-bodies that will hopefully be finished soon, and  I would let Foose work on my car. Hot Rod98 you have an impressive list of cars there. :drool:

I currently own 16 mopars. There's a couple that aren't finished and I would love to have Foose steal one. My wife and I were on the set of overhaulin at vegas last year and had a blast. Foose was a super nice guy and very easy to talk to. I told him that he could take one of my cars anytime he wanted. I guess if I only owned one mopar that I might be a little more picky.
I like that red vert. I wanted to paint my 70 chal convert red , but my wife mixed a custom yellow color in our paint room at the dealership.

Actually, I'm still buying cars. I think I've found another rust free 69 runner and possible a pretty solid 70 runner. May pick up one or both this weekend, I hope. I'm almost 50 yrs old and will continue to restore them until I'm 65 and then many of them will be auctioned off with family members getting the rest. I drive most of them pretty regularly.  I also collect Pontiac TransAms, but I don't talk about that on this forum. I've sold all of my camaros and chevelles in the last couple of years and mostly buy mopars now. About five years ago, I sold seven chargers including 3 68 R/T's. They were all pretty much rust free. They've all found good homes and only one of them ended up as a General Lee. He's a local police officer so I don't give him a hard time about it.

I agree...that paint job was hideous. If one of my painters here at the dealership painted something for a customer that looked that bad, I would kindly ask him to look for another place of employment.

NZ...no, I'm currently restoring it, and possibly converting it to a daytona, just having problems getting good daytona parts.

Hey Hotrod98 do you have your own restoration business or a dealership that restores cars on the side. Theres a couple dealers around here that are getting into restoring old cars in the back of the dealership, its great to be able to go to a lot and see some old cars restored sitting along side new stock.

Hotrod98, I had to laugh when I read your post. I collect Mopars, and early and late 70's Pontiac Trans ams also. I have had more than a dozon. I only have one T/A now, a very low mileage 78, 400 cid. 4spd car black and gold T/A 6.6.
Out of all the T/A's it's been my favorate, I've owned it for 15 years.
I would love to see pics of your T/A's, as long as none of our Mopar friends don't mine.

That pic won't hurt my eyes.  I like T/As too.  We had an '81 and a turbo '80.   I almost picked up a '76 a few months ago to play with.

Did you guys ever see a story about the police department in Catoosa County in Georgia about thier cars?  For police cars they ran Trans Ams and GTOs.  Maybe someone on our forum from GA will know.  Here's a blurb about it and a link.  Sorry, GM stuff but interesting.

"In the late 70`s early 80`s in the north GA town of Ringgold the county of Catoosa lived a Sheriff named J.D.Stewart he was a legend songs were written about him and his escapades(no kidding`)He served his office for many many terms.He was liked and feared by folks on both sides of the law and well respected.
As for the cars his deputies drove absolutely some of the fastest on the highway pontiac GTO`s and TRANS AMS.
The patrol cars were built to run....rundown and outrun.
HOTROD magazine either had an article or there was some sort of advertisement in there magazine about J.D. and his T.A.`s I don`t remeber what year."
