Michael Suppo's C1 Corvette is a perfect example of a restomod done right.

Wow, I did some work on this car. Nice piece.

Just for the record, I did not adjust the "coil overs" on the Corvette Correction chassis, because there are no coil overs. I Cut the leaf springs to lower the car.

Nice article Mike Suppo!!!. Congratulations. Hope all is well.

I have to agree, I like everything about the car. Very tastefully done. The right components, and the right color combo, and the right vintage vibe still intact. The first one I've seen that I like in a long time. Congrats!

Nice looking Car! But, I still prefer the original big white wall tires on a C1 Corvette. Kinda hard to beat that one.

Do you have restomods for sale or do you do them on consignment?
