I think this is a great example of differing taste. We have a yearly Darryl Starbird car show here in Wichita, I don't even bother because I think the crazy over the top hot rod thing is dumb. I admire the craftsmanship, but think that any car that you can't drive is pointless. Lots of people love his stuff. Different strokes, different folks.
When I start my '70 Mustang I'll be taking an approach that many probably won't agree with. Upgraded suspension with modern components and a lower ride height, Bullitt style wheels with modern rubber, upgraded brakes, etc. I had a lot of feedback to keep it original, but I don't care because it's mine.  That's really how I see the Foose cars, so long as they are a reflection of their owner's wishes, I'm good with it.
