The Mad Documenter!

No interest here, I prefer factory stock. I've also met the man and was not impressed. I hope this is a third line, and won't be taking tooling dollars away from the Auto-Thentics and Detroit Muscle lines. |

The Mustang II is a Mustang too!

Ugh. I can't stand what he does to perfectly good cars. The question I have is as follows- does this mean M2 is breaking their unofficial policy of 'nothing newer than 1971' going forward? |

I like the series Overhaulin. I would love to see some of those cars in diecast. He can come to my house and pretend to steal my Firebird only to fix it up for me.......lol |

I hope they keep it true to scale and don't get big like last time, I like his restorations and can leave his customs on the pegs. |

http://imcdb.org/movie.php?id=408409 Almost all of these cars look better in the before pictures. I make exceptions for the '68 Camaro and '65 Mustang, even if the rims are way too blingy on those two, the rest is quite nice. |

I am not sure I would call this good news. Not a Foose fan and was not impressed with the last diecast offerings in his name. I would hope M2 would make this more a separate series and not ruin the Authenics or the Muscle Machine series. I realize there is much cost involved in making diecast models and companies seek ways to recover and make the best use of tooling, etc. - so simply hoping that M2 will stay the course and we will still get our nice Authenic models as we have in the past. |

I'll probably do what I usually do - grab a few I like and leave the rest. But I too hope that the castings won't turn out to be ridiculously large again. |

My sincere hope is that M2 doesn't waste casting dollars tooling up one of a kind show cars and instead focuses on utilizing existing castings that Foose has worked on. It still means casting those horrible rims. UGH. |

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!

I'm in the same lifeboat as diecastdingo. He said exactly how I feel. |

Somehow I missed this thread. But I've expressed my feelings about Foose in the past. I'm aligned with most of the Garage here. |

I'm hoping the lack of news perhaps means the project has been scrapped. Maybe even due to poor reception from collectors, although I suspect if it is canned, it would be more related to a license disagreement between M2 and Foose. |
