Hi Michelle!

Thank you. I certainly respect your preference for the 71/73!

I love the exterior (and color), the interior is beautiful, the engine compartment is fascinating, and even underneath is a work of art. What a stunner!

Ford should be listening...but NOOoooo! Great work. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Dan!

Thank you for the comments. They may argue that the had a few rear-engined supercars over the years. This one would be more for the average Joe...

Fantastic concept build Claude. The engineering in this is amazing. In 1:1 this would be a Sema show stopper. Well done. Oh, could you please post a picture of the recessed mesh grill.

Cheers, David. ??

Hi David!

Well, Sir, your wish is our command...

Cool idea.  This is what Foose should have built.

Hi Rex!

Thank you. I know that a few years ago, Mr. Foose built one for a customer from Japan, if I'm not mistaken. It was super-nice, but more "traditionnal" than mine.

The styrene world allows for all kinds of experimentations, at a reasonnable cost to boot!

Well done Claude! The fit of the engine looks great. Just some of the details that I really like are the Louver hatch as the "hood" that lets all that warm air out, the fact that the seat backs are in line with the door line (not looking pushed forward), the slight rake that takes care of the inherent uphill stance of this year mustang, (oh and the fact that you used that body style and made it flow quite nicely, and finally - the windshield washer nozzles. Who thinks of those! Excellent!

Another winner.

Wow! Sometimes I cant even fathom the places these builds go or how someone can be so dang creative and execute something so well. Excellent work.

Hi George! 

Thanks for the compliments, but the older I get, the clearer it is to me: plenty of time can be substituted for lack of talent. You'd be surprised...

Killer execution!  I would be that guy in the movie Christine.  ?  Whenever I build a lousy kit, it turns into a junker, what you did is amazing.

Thank you Kurt! But please, don't be too hard on yourself: all that matters is having fun with it...

Claude strikes again!  This could be the headline of the day and those to come!

I don't know where you find your inspirations and your ideas, but the designers of all these cars will eventually get tired of seeing their designs improve and say to themselves why I didn't think of it before?

You're setting me up for a long day of talking next week and I don't think I'll be the only one asking for details on your fantastic offerings my friend!

Great Claude at its best!!!
