It wasn't built to be driven.

Which defeats the purpose in my humble opinion.

I certainly appreciate the work that goes into such a project (I mean, shit,
the bodywork alone is nothing short of artistic brilliance), but I
personally couldn't be fucked with such a project just so it can spend it's
days as a show car trailer queen.

As far as I'm concerned, there's nothing more satisfying than *driving* your
latest creation :)

I agree. I see them as car shaped pieces of art. But I'd still drive it if
I owned it.

Agreed. But I wonder if its an advertisment for Foose Design?
theres also money in car shows I believe?

*Big* money.

His last effort was a totally hand made car based very loosely on a '36 Ford
convertible, and it's a truly amazing vehicle. Many thousands of hours went
into it, and although I don't know exactly how much it cost to build I think
there wouldn't have been much change out of a hundred & fifty large.

It'll spend it's days on the US show circuit, and get all of that back and
then some.

Yeah, he will, but that's very good advertising for his business and
products.

He does indeed.

On this very subject, I was quite surprised today when I watched a replay of
"American Hotrod" on Foxtel this morning. It premiered on Tuesday night, but
I forgot about it. At least the good thing about Foxtel is that you know
you'll see it again (and again, and again, and again :)

Anyway, the show was basically a look into Boyd Coddington's shop, and the
bit that surprised me was the number of fucking illiterate morons he has
working for him. I mean, this guy's shop turns out some A grade cars, yet
some of the guys I saw on the show were about as sharp as a custard tart,
and I wouldn't let them near my kid's billy cart.

I was surprised by that too. It also looks like he outsources shitloads of
the work.

It's way too easy to make judgements on somebodies skills just by a 30 sec
bit of TV. I have a fitter working for our company who seems like a full on
Fuddy Duddy, but is a top class machinist on the job.
