Foose by FAR!!! Bayd's tv show ruined my image of him. The bums he has/had working for him (Bluebear) just made me feel like he was a hack. 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!

I have been a fan of Foose since I saw one of his cars win the Riddler Award at the Detroit Autorama back before I could even drive.

Foose all the way. I am not a big fan of changing the appearance of a classic car, but nine times out of ten, the cars on Overhaulin look better than the orignal when it was new. He just has a way about really bringing out the best in a car.

Yeah, Foose is truly a designer and knows how to design cars that are not over kill. Like his T-bird. You look at it and know it looks better than stock but the changes are not gaudy.

I actually prefer Barry White from Wreches to Riches, the cars he builds really back up their fast look. 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.

ahh yes berry white. love the modern conversions on his muscle cars, forgot about him, lets add him too, although most of his work is bolt on work (catalog parts), they are still top of the line.
anyone have any thought on how much it would cost to buy one of those Overhaulin vehicles?

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.

Cool Foose or Boyd ......

Different styles and definitely different attitudes !!!! 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.....

Here's another vote for Foose. I agree with what was said above. 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.
