Here are some pics of highboy Model A's I have collected from various sites over the years. I have collected lots of Model A pics as I was going to build a Model A before I found my Nash's.

Here are some coupes.
The thing is, he did not always have those resources. He talks about building cars with his Dad, he also worked for Coddington for a while. He paid his dues. Now he has resources because people have recognized his talent, and his ethics, and have supported him. If as you guys suggest, anyone with those resources could do what he does, we would have a lot more Riddler winners. One of Foose's talents is to set a theme for a car and make it work throughout the whole car. Personally I think he has opened up opportunities for many other builders because people see his cars and want something similar or even better. Since not everyone can hire him, they look elsewhere. Still other builders view his work as a challenge and try to out do him. I was watching a Rides episode where he was featured not to long ago and a comment was made about him "raising the bar" and he made the statement "I have yet to see this bar." Think that speaks volumes about his vision that has no limits or boundaries. Call me a worshiper if you like, but for whatever it is worth he is the best there is at the moment and is charting a future direction for this hobby/business.Quote:

Hey dont get me wrong im not ragging the guy, i agree he is amazing, but dont limit your mindset to believe he is the best, theres always someone better, maybe one of us, here at chr, and dont down play youre own abilities, some of you guys do amazing thing to cars, with limited funds/resources, and you say if everybody could do it there would be more riddler awards out there ,how many of you have built a car to compete? if i had the money i would pay you guys to build a car for the competition, and im willing to bet we could win, all im saying is dont bullshit yourselves into believing you cant do it, remember i think i can, ithink i can, i think i can
