I have had some very nice old cars in my list of clients over the years and it isnt as hard as you think. just remember your only as good as your last job and word of mouth will start the cars coming in. The only difference between you and the foose guys is they do it every day. If you have the space and the time...go for it! I honestly think foose is more of an artist who is learning the trade than his dad who was just like us. of course , in california, there are a lot more people who want a shiny classic or rare car and they will pay for it. not so easy here but it could be done. Maybe start with morris minors and rover v8s. :nah

I'm just waiting on Nas giving me a date when he's prepared to give me the keys back! I'm off to Cornwall on Wednesday and as my Mrs reckons she can't drive the M3 it means going in her 2002 instead. I'm back on the 17th or thereabouts. I need to fit the RPM top mounts unless you or Nas just fit some OE ones while my car is up there with you? In fact, that would probably be the most sensible solution tbh.

I am flying up to Leeds next Saturday morning to collect my car. How much are OE top mounts new? It might just be easier if you can wait a bit though I guess?

I'm sure it'll be fine. I have every confidence in both Nas & the car. :) Don't forget your video camera mate.
