I'll give it a thumbs up...of course, unobtainium money wise for mere mortals...

Looks like a C2 in the paint booth.

Some observations.
To me they managed to make the front look like a '56 Ford. Something about losing the hood ornament seems to change the proportion. Interesting they use plywood for the interior shapes. Retropower in the UK print theirs and glue sections together. Either way, it's a lot of work and one works with what they know. In one scene, Foose was talking about his vision for the engine bay. I thought he was going to place the intake in front of the radiator for cooler air, but settled for a simpler set up.

I like it, that’s one of his more tasteful cars. Good color combo too.

I mostly like it. The wheels could be a little less flashy. They detract from the great paint choice and the classic Tri-5 body style.
