The orange country chopper guys, they must make a **** load of cash, every scene , they are driving a different new vehicle. They had paul jr in 3 different suv's in the same episode.. To be honest, I hate the whole chopper thing, its like ok start with frame and hang trinkets cut out of polished alumiunium on the biike, insert stock engine, and electrics, collect 50k and start all over again... Its such a tired concept. i remember seeing a foose car in an 89 issue of hot rod, he's been around a LONG time.... i really liked that car though, super subtle |
Guys like Foose- it gets harder and harder to come up with something to top your last project, but imagine how awesome to take something you like and be known global for it

I agree, hes been gettin a little too bling lately.

I don't know how you can keep cranking out cars and call them "innovative" when referring to thier design. The paint jobs can be very different from car to car, but the subtle smoothing of design elements is the same basic outcome, no matter what hunk of iron they roll in. I think overexposure is killing the realm of custom bikes and hot rods, too many people can buy, see, touch and smell it. When it was rare and cars and bikes from "top guys" were scarce, it just seemed better that way.

ditto.. now all these shops are getting televised, and the term "ONE stop shop" is soo common.. might as well buy a turnkey car in that case.. Thats why i like reading about garage built cars, and collaborations between family and buddies over some beer and meat while wrenching non the damn thing.
