Reply to "Chip Foose"

His original concept drawing suggested he was going to rework the lines/bodywork, particularly the front clip, which was probably a bit overdone IMO. It was a similar rendering to the Europa he did which was pretty nice I thought. However, the finished product doesn’t look like he altered anything to me except PB doors and side markers. –Pretty much classic Pantera with a nice stance. The wheels are a unique and personalized touch but given that’s about it as far as Foose styling cues, it’s kind of interesting it gets his name on the side though. I was thinking maybe Tjaarda belonged there rather than Foose.

…and upon edit I’d add that given Foose has the imagination, talent, and means to radically alter and create cars to suit his mind’s eye, he must have decided it was hard to improve on Tjaarda’s original design….quite the compliment really.

Best,
