My new (May) Street Rodder magazine just arrived about 15 minutes ago. On the cover and inside is Chip Foose's latest, called P32. OHMIGOD !!! The grill looks like it was modeled by Madonna in her pointy bra.
I do like (mostly) the rest of the car though.
Forgot this:CRY:
Been on Jay lenos site for some time
Foose is over rated. Doubt Madonna will ever see the car. The car like that looks stupid.....
Yuck.......Madonna and the car :eek:
The rest of the car looks ok - has a V-12 Lincoln flathead for power and is fairly traditional. But the grille - :CRY:Quote:

Maybe I am biased....I like old planes. He is doing something new and different to a '32. Those are hard to improve upon.
butt ugly to me.
I see rods and customs as "rolling art", and a way to do something unique. I know others like them within a very narrow range of allowable modifications. I'm just tired of "rubber stamp" hot rods, painted red-black-yellow with pintripes-flames-scallops, Torquethrust-Halibrand-steel wheels, and a flathead-SBC.
With the recent use of aircraft seats, bare metal finishes, and a post WWII flavor, this car seems right in step with some of the trends. At least I would take a picture of it!
That's an improvement - at least it puts some meaning to the pointy, ah, err....prop spinnerQuote:

Well, at least it's not another black Deuce with a 350/350!!!!!!
i think its cool.
I got my Street Rodder yesterday... Interesting article and, for sure, it's not just another (yawn) Deuce hiboy. I think the grille is doofy looking, but I pretty much like everything else. It does need a paint job, though...:rolleyes:
