Over 20,000 views in less than 6 months. WOW. I'd like to thank all of you that have posted your restomods. They obviously are very popular here. Please keep us updated and keep posting.
Mine is not really a restomod. But with all the pics of the LS engines, I figured someone had to stand up for the old school look. Engine is ~425hp, TKO600, lowered with flared fenders, rack & pinion, 4 link, and four wheel disc. Again, not quite a “restomod”, just nicely modified.
Hi, great look! I have 61, old school 327, m21, headers, Holley, etc. was a dz302, but it was removed and replaced-! But genuine former drag car of the 70s. Are you running 15/8 wheels in rear? Can you tell me what wheels-are they black chrome?

Yes. Well worth the wait and Mike Stockdale is so great to work with. Always returned my calls and was willing to spend the time to discuss any and all of my concerns. I'd recommend him to anyone thinking of an aftermarket chassis.
1961 Vette, final assembly. Four link rear, coilover IFS, Donovan D500 Block, Chev bow tie aluminium heads, Edelbrock intake, Holley carb, custom stainless steel sump, forged crank, Scat H beam rods, Venolia pistons, Crane roller rockers, TH 400 trans, 9+ nine inch, four wheel disc brakes, Vintage Air HVAC, Flaming River column, Lokar shifter, leather seats and dash, RHD with power rack and pinion and much more.
There is a difference between silk and burlap! Besides having a real nice car, you've got some "very nice custom choice" pieces for that engine. Stuff a mechanic can really appreciate ...and a lot different than the cookie cutter LS kit powered restomods.
That engine is going to scream...with big torque! There's nothing that feels quite like a big block...and that's no ordinary big block!
IMHO..of course, but to quote Patrick Swayze in Road House.."opinions vary" lol!

They are Torq Thrust II wheels with a PVD chrome. It looks between regular chrome and black chrome. Matches the chrome on the car very well. On the back I have 15”x 8”s w/ 255/60s, front is 15”x7”s w/235/65s.
