Very cool 58.
Modified enough to show some good improvements in function and creature comforts.
But it still retains the "basics" of a 58 Corvette

I'm waiting to see Mike Coletta's latest creation - also a '58 restomod that he's building up !

Love the color of that 58. I also wonder what the seats are out of?

The large rims and baloney skin tires never look right to me, or very usable in a real world sense

I am so glad they kept the instrument cluster and gauges to an appropriate flavor. I can't stand Dakota digital, or Autometer round gauges stuffed in a c1 gauge cluster. They. Just. Don't. Meld.

It is an incredible car - I like it all except for the induction system; never been a big fan of the "pipes going everywhere" intakes. Gimme a nice clean LS top end on a restomod.
But it is gorgeous just the same...
