Beautiful car, saw it at the show, took a few pictures of it as well.
Would be nice to see him participate in a few local shows...............
This one is much nicer and more refined than some others in this class.

Congratulations Brian. I was in awe when Steve showed me the car Last Summer at Old Town Motorfest in Saginaw. Dynamic did flawless job on the paint and body work. I can't wait to see the 58 when you get it done.
Dynamic did the work on a good friends 78 Corvette. He took a 1st place at Motorama shortly after they completed his car back around 1988 or so. He still wins nearly every show he enters.

Very tastefully done restomod, IMO. Everything flows.
Something like garish Dakota Digital, digital gauges for example, doesn't work with older styles, and clashes, and takes away from the overall package. I do not see any clashing of anything on this car.
It doesn't appear to be excessively lowered, either.
