Very nice upgrades…

These days it seems like nobody has a sense of humor or can take any real criticism, but they sure can dish it out. In a recent article about Chip Foose sketching out an updated design for the DeLorean DMC-12, some readers took offense that I didn’t shower the man with compliments for his drawing. Apparently, they feel I just hate on everything Foose does, which is in actuality not the truth. Just to prove them wrong, I will give praise where it’s due with this Superformance Shelby Daytona which has been improved upon by Foose himself.

First of all, hats off to the man for not turning up his nose at a continuation model, like the project is somehow beneath him. I’ve never understood why people have that kind of attitude, except maybe the few well-heeled individuals who own original Shelbys and just want to show how superior they are.

It would be pretty hard to screw up a car as beautiful as the Shelby Daytona, but in a sketch maybe Foose would do just that. After all, when you’re just drawing something on paper it’s a great time to experiment and make mistakes – that’s one of the beauties of renderings. But when it comes to working with actual cars, Foose has a pretty good track record.
