That's cool :thumbsup:
Can't wait until they make a '56 HT as that will be my next project. :lol:

Each car starts with an original cowl (with a Cowl Tag), and then is restored with all new metal, parts, and interior.I've seen the first one they did a few years ago, showing how they started with a 4-door sedan, and replaced everything but the cowl making it a convertible. They took it to a lot of shows as a rolling shell, with all the original parts painted, and all repro parts cleared in bare metal. It was pretty cool to see. :thumbsup:

Wonder if they'll do a '57 hard top.

Cool, but to rich for my blood. One of the guys over on Chevytalk (55-57 Modified section) email them about price. Reply below:
1. For the steel body without a chasis, at this point we are still determining the exact price (trying to get the price as low as possible), but the current price is around $35,000
2. For the steel body on a chasis, add between $10-20,000 depending on what exact chasis options you would go with
3. For the "turn-key" cars, each car is priced based on the exact options that the client requests, but it would be fair to guess that a finished "turn-key" car would range from between $80,000 to $120,000 depending on what exact options are selected.
Not bad for a brand new, rust free, Art Morrison framed, '57 Chevy convertible, but :wow: :eek: .

For me to spend $120,000 on a '57 Chevy...that car better be in "better than new" condition. We're talking Concourse d Elegance with a paint job like a mirror, handles like it's on rails and some serious horsepower under the hood.

Actually these are stamped in Detroit by a company that does small run stuff for the OE's. First batch of new Mustangs and H2's were done by this same group.
Dynacorn is made slightly further away than Detriot
