boyd vs foose

[TonyL]

any way, to bring this show back on topic.

Seems that anyone with a new idea or way to build cars is met with a closed mind at boyds. the show makes it sound as though he's real resistant to new ideas.
Bluebear: new ideas on rat rods = fired.
Charley: better, more realistic ideas on scheduling and time frames = fired
Mike: better more realistic ideas on build times, and quality = fired



boyd needs to remember that once, his ideas were contrary to how things got done. he needs to look across the board at jesse and chip (and desmond) and think, "hmm, perhaps i should have listned to them." the evidence is all around him that these guys are on to something huge.

actually, i think boyd personally painted twinstings car if im not mistaken.

I enjoy all the Hot Rod shows on TV. American Hot Rod, Rides, Overhaulin', etc. I watch because it has to do with Hot Rods (which I love) and also because I'm always watching for an idea or technique that I could use. Even if they are a little phoney and sketched....I'm thankful they're on TV.

about the firings.

blue bear= smart mouth punk... period!

charley left on his own.

mike has had a bad attitude for along time and was working for foose on the side.


Biggest fault I see of boyd is he takes on projects with not near enough time to do them without burning his guys out.

It foose was doing all this stuff himself why did he hire charley to paint for him? I guess what im trying to say is dont compare them by saying boyd doesnt do his own work anymore.. Neither does foose. They both have surrounded them self with talent. Neither have enough hours in the day to do these shows and run there biz and be doing all this work. Foose might be doing a little more hands on than boyd but not much.

All the above is based on watching the shows which prolly have no bearing on reality..lol

Foose is a talented guy but I really dont like his style on muscle cars.. I dont think they should look like street rods and foose seems to try and use that influence on all his muscle car projects. I was so glad joe rogan axed the paint scheme that foose desighned for the cuda.. It would have ruined the look! Of course this is just my worthless opinion.
