Butch,
BTW...Steve Cook Creations did not build this C1 as I suggested to you in your previous post about restoration shop recommendations in Oklahoma...I just know Steve from another build...This car was built in Texas.

C1 of Year Finalist (appearance mods) 2019
Yes Paul, I found the shop and intend to call them. That's an incredibly beautiful color and like you, I would have turned my nose up to any green too, but yours might be the most beautiful 61 I've ever seen. It certainly is the most tastefully done car and it's easy to see the color, style, chrome and wheels all came together perfectly. It's a knockout.

Beautiful color. Outstanding build! Well deserving of the Vette Magazine feature.

2023 Restomod of the Year finalist
Resto-Mods do not need 17" tires and chrome wheels with LS engines to be Resto-Mods. The Corvette Editor needs to be aware of this. The car above is just an example of a high end Resto-Mod. There are many cars on the Resto-Mod spectrum that would also qualify as a Resto-Mod car.
The same thing can be said about a Ford Focus and a Cadillac Escalade. They are both modern cars, but at both ends of the technology spectrum.
