paradime Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 Always been a sucker for the tub 356. I was heart broken when Chip Foose hacked up a super clean 356 S and a 50s VW then swapped the rear widows. No doubt he is a talented guy, but what was he thinking on this one? IMO, he seriously fucked this car up a tree. Textbook example of just because you can doesn't mean you should. Doing something like this to a classic Porsche shows arrogance or ignorance, but I really don't think Chip is either. After that bad ass Lutus Elan he did, I thought the man couldn't miss, but DAMN this doesn't work for me. What do you think? Chips Stock I think he may have been trying to mimic this car. 1948 356 Gmund Coupe. For me, where chip's design fails is the window is way too small making it disproportionate to the body and grill. Besides the size, the shape of the VW rear glass is simplistic, oval, and too docile for a sports car. The tail lights and exhaust tips are way too big and moving the plate under the bumper make the rear end look bloated, doubty, and almost cartoonish. 1 Quote Link to comment

In the end, that's a very subtle mod that for the most part only a Porsche enthusiast would notice. That is his specialty. Well, that and garish wheels. ^_^ Quote Link to comment

datsunfreak Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 So you'd let chip put a 240 rear window in your 1200 Coupe then? I would never let Foose work on my 1200. Now if I still had my '63 Nova, sure. In a heartbeat. Then I'd sell the goofy wheels he put on it on ebay... ^_^ Quote Link to comment
datsunfreak Posted December 3, 2014 Report Share Posted December 3, 2014 And I would wager that in the US, a 1200 coupe is rarer than a 356... :rofl: Quote Link to comment
