    This stuff makes me sick. Its literally painting over a work of classic art because you think the new painting is better than what the original artist did.

    I like it .
    The original body was custom designed by one person just like Foose is doing .
    But that first body looked like a boxcar .
    This is SSKish .

    Did you all watch the whole thing? The original body was destroyed in a restoration shop fire.

    He really isn't butchering it. The original body is long gone. The 2nd body it had in period " then burned up in a restoration shop.

    This is a chassis without a body. Any body you put on it is going to be a replica body.

    I'm sure it's the ultimate hot rodder/designer dream to be able to body a duesenberg as if you were a coachwork maker in the 30s.

    There are plenty of other dueseys out there. This one was a disaster and would never be back to original anyways.

    He will do a good job.
