I agree.

I am not a fan of making the rear visibility go way DOWN while driving the car. That rear window was not a great idea. The car was going to rust away and the rust and crash damage are fixed properly.

I have said it before, if Foose did his standard "overhaul" of my daily driver El Camino I would be pissed. I don't want 20 inch wheels, slammed to the ground and a $5,000 stereo with a two tone paint job and no useful bumpers.

I know many people love his cars but they are not my style. I can appreciate his talents, but I don't want my cars with the Foose treatment.

I feel the exact same way about the Magnus style 911s. I can appreciate his car but I don't want my car to get the Magnus treatment. Just my opinion. He can do whatever he wants to do to his cars and I will enjoy watching him do his thing.
