Guys,
I must say that I admire and like what Foose did to the maverick.
He stated that beings Ford was more or less discontinuing a basic car body platform besides the Mustang, he wanted to design the future.
At the very end he adds FORD on the rocker like a GT 40 had, and that my friends did it for me.
The body kit/panels, hood and bumper treatment, are just pure racy looking, low and mean.
If he made kits like this, probably half of the 100,000 units on back order would buy them.
Enjoy the video he made >>> and you guys be the Judges.

Is this the first futuristic exotic in the world?
Size of an ac cobra, but built in 1935 !

NOPE - too hot wheels looking

Video is typical of the pitches sent to Ford to get a free car to design/build for SEMA. I wonder if they will have as many at CES and what the pitch will be - it's not a performance crowd. They will be looking for bigger dash screens and phone app integration.

I threatened to buy one for the wife and adapt an early Maverick Grabber hood with the scoops to it. She wasn't even interested when I told her I'd paint it Grabber Blue just like hers was. She hated her Maverick - her parents took her to buy her first new car. They went for a Mustang but the salesman talked them into how much better a Maverick would be for a young girl in high school.

The Grabber had it's own unique hood when introduced in 1971. By the end of the run it was nothing more than a set of tape stripes.

I'm surprised to see him sketching in Pen?

He generally does his first sketch in pencil and when it's done he uses a pen and thin paper to trace his drawing to do mods on. That way he can do many similar drawings. I have a friend whose husband was one of the camera guys on Overhauling. They'd all go to lunch often and she's got a bunch of his doodlings on napkins. He's always drawing stuff.
