Mine ... naah I wish, this is a beautiful resto-mod.











Don't know about you but I'm taking notes.

Beautiful car! The bodywork and paint couldn't have been cheap. Thats for sure. That interior is very nice and not overdone. Those wheels are great. Makes it look like a Hot Wheel. The engine bay is just as nice as the rest of the car , Although I think they got carried away with the stingray emblems. Theres is to many of them. Beautiful car nonetheless.

I like the center console, but the big wheels not so much. Beautiful car.

This, although it might just be the red line on the tires that doesn't look good. Plus the hard top looks like it's either not fastened or doesn't fit quite right. Don't take this as insulting, it's a beautiful car.

Looks very much like a Bobby Alloway car. That's his MO. 10 mile deep black paint, red interior, staggered large diameter wheels, and red lines. He's done a C1 and a C2 that way. I'm pretty sure there are pictures of the C1 on Art Morrison's web site.
Whether it suits your taste or not still very well done as all his work is.

Bobby Alloway's?

His 1956 Crown Victoria was for sale for $325K at the NSRA nats.

I do see they used an electronic parking brake (by E-Stopp) that I am putting on my car (red button on the console).

I really dig the interior- well done- from the door speakers to the console- kept the original look but improved upon it!!!!

You'd think they would've painted the floor before taking the pix, scheesh. (that's about my only complaint, beautiful ride) /:\

I can appreciate the work, but I guess it isn't my taste. The stance with low profile tires just isn't right on a C3 in my opinion. I do love the interior design, its just over the top with red. add some black to tone it down and it would be sweet.

Sheesh Dave, for a second there, I thought you had gone crazy with the vette since you got it.

I am pretty sure I saw a 63 split in South Dakota that he did. Amazing build. As with most of his projects it was a bit too much back wheel for my taste, but I am sure that some say the same of my car. Either way, amazing car for sure!

People use terms differently, but I would call this a "full custom" as opposed to a restomod.

I never thought my vette would be in Autofest until the interior was complete. Just the seats to go, ordering Mr. Mike's in the next week or so.

I wouldn't mind coming out and seeing your ride one of these days Dave.
You around this weekend? Looks like nice driving weather.
