Sorry but I don’t like the front look. Guess I will wait till he’s done to provide final thoughts.

I like how he "tweaked" the bumper to get the fit he wanted.

Let's hope it doesn't turn into another Dark or Darth Vader car with all of the blacked out features. Foose usually turns out nice cars, have to wait for an update.

I'm often more impressed with his and his team's attention to detail and craftsmanship than I am to his designs. It's not that they're ugly, it's just that opinions vary and sometimes I don't like the way they turn out. The front end of this 62 strikes me that way, in that enclosing the lower side coves behind the front corner bumpers makes the grill and headlights stick out too much for my tastes. But it should be interesting to see how it winds up when he's finished with it.

I agree with the above posts. I really am impressed with Foose's team and their craftsmanship- however- I think they missed it on the front end.. The 62 front end is classic. It is like they tried to make it look like a 57. Maybe it will turn out better in the final iteration, but as far now, nope.
