Ok, Sorry all I didn't realize it was such old news. D'uh. A friend just sent me the story on it. Should have read it better..

Quite a fall from grace. At one time they were in bed with Chip Foose and Carrol Shelby.

Now they're just a bunch of punk bitches.

Their main web page is down but I don't think Foose would like to see that this one is still live.

Even if you found one, I would stay away..... I've heard some bad stories about workmanship and quality of construction. Be very, very careful and have the car fully inspected, every nut, bolt, weld. And when something goes wrong, who are you going to take the car to? For the kind of money people were asking for these cars, your friend can have a good builder with a good reputation build a scratch car to his specs.....

Just my $0.02

TLC has no issues running the episodes of Rides pertaining to the UP & Foose collaboration. Or is that abomination?

There is something so apropos about this. The more artificially inflated they are, the more fun it is to watch them fall!
