Boyd is deff one of the fathers of the modern street rod but Foose has a certain finesse and aspect of quality to his work. And I think it speaks wonders that Charlie and Mike left Boyd to work for Foose. Boyd seems to have gone into the mass-produced glass body cars that can only be built so many different ways. Foose has more imagination, heart and sense of pride in his cars!

You look at it and know it looks better than stock but the changes are not gaudy. | |

But between Foose and Boyd not sure as Boyd build more hot rods which I like (30's-50's for the most part) and Foose does more muscle cars but don't always like his rims of choice (but I like their paint designs better). What I really hate and would love to knock out is that Dwayne guy (from Boyds) who just puts down people and really need a good @$$ kicking.

anyone have any thought on how much it would cost to buy one of those Overhaulin vehicles? | |

Join Date: Jul 2005 Location: Long Island, NY Posts: 442 | Foose by far! Seems as though BOYD just wants to rush cars in and out. Half the time they settle on doing things that appear to be half-arsed. I really like the older guy with the huge mustache that excells in chassis design and fabrication. He is an old school guy but seems that he likes everything done the right way, not the way that saves the most amount of time.
Yeah Dwayne needs a beat down or be able to get his hands dirty! Boyd doesn't do much but bark orders. At least Foose is involved from conception to the end! I also admire a guy that wants to get his hands dirty. In addition, Foose just seems like an all-around nice guy (Of course, that could be what the producers want us to see).
Style wise, Boyd does the same ish over and over again and rarely goes beyond borders where as I feel Foose always tries to do something different. | |

While Boyd's people struggle to meet a deadline fighting the negative forces and themselves as well., Foose team finesse their way to complete a kickass product in a shorter period, that's teamwork. So at the end by FAAAAAARRRRRR, Foose's the man..... | |

I think MANY people were not impressed by the people and the shop as viewed in that show. Foose amazes me with the way he can whip out those drawings on Overhaulin'. I wish I could draw like that.
