    Detroit Speed is one of the, if not THE BEST shops in the world. Kyle and Stacy Tucker seem to be 2 of the nicest, kindest folks in this "hobby". I would love to give them my 69 GTO and have them do a build like this! But that's a dream I'm sure many of us have. I just need to win the lottery😁

    This is a perfect example of a C3 restomod. I would love to do this exact same spec on a 72. I had one in the early 90's and wound up putting a 500hp SBC with a huge cam and it definitely wreaked havoc with my headlights and wipers, sometimes the headlights would pop up and down on their own.
    Would be amazing to have one where everything works like it should.
