History

0032 started life as a Hot Rods by Boyd project, Boydster II. After Hot Rods by Boyd went bankrupt, the car was taken in hand by Foose. It was repainted black, over the original yellow, reupholstered, and entered in the 2000 Oakland Roadster Show. It won that year's America's Most Beautiful Roadster award.[1][2][3]

As built, the car rode on a set of Foose's custom-designed five-spoke knockoff wheels, one of only two sets to exist (the other used on his Ridler-winner, The Stallion), as "big'n'little"s: 7 in × 16 in (18 cm × 41 cm) in front, 8 in × 17 in (20 cm × 43 cm) in back.[4]

0032 was Foose's first project as an independent operator.[5]
