Do you think it could ever be done? I always wanted my wife to sign me up for overhaulin but at the same time scared of the outcome. After all i bought it because it was black but what whould he do besides airbag it with 19" & 20" wheels, maybe a kickin sound system, and custom trunk. But i think that even chip would be lost as what to do to the exterior without destroying the sinister bad ass behavior of the the car we have all come to know. Any ideas?????:coolman:

Seriously, the paint and rims were Foose inspired. The rims are 18 front 20 rear. I could have gone lower profile tires and 20/22 to be more Foose look, but wanted to keep the ride of at least a 45 series tire. The paint scheme is reminiscent of a 69 Gurney or Yarborough Cyclone. Foose often hearkens to older days for inspiration. I wanted to do 2 tone, but that was just too plain. I found inspiration when looking at cars of the original marauder era. The lines of the G/Y cyclone split the two tone perfectly and still left the front all black for the characteristic sinister modern marauder look. Many 'older generation' car guys recognize the lines immediately, but can't quite place them 'till I say 'cyclone'. There's a Procharger up front. Foose would have done one of the SC kits. I think Foose would have dressed up the engine bay WAAAYY more than I do. I just can't maintain all that bling at 16K miles a year. The trunk would probly have been nicer, but less functional if 'Overhauled'. All in all, somewhat Foose inspired, but MY car and MY creation to work in MY life. I said I was a fan, not a worshiper!!! Besides, if you get overhauled, it's bye bye car for a YEAR for promotional tours and all that crap!!!!

AAAAhhh...That's where you got those great lines from...Rich

I always liked how the front lines stopped just short of the corner lights, and had a sliver of silver separtating the two...

I think he wouldn't ruin the look of the car, just give it a meaner look.

Bad part is that it's the people around Huntington Beach, CA that are usually picked.

My mom told me she sent a thing in for me when I got my first rustang foxbody.

Your ride look sleek with the two tone paint black out windows and different style wheels . I love how they are tucked under the fender lips. All you need now are tail pipe ignitors flame throwers for the night cruise.
