In 5 month, this classic car was amazingly built from start to finish. Every single piece of the frame is either new or refurbished, achieving a look that is stylish and practical, as well as looking like a lowrider concept car that Chevy might have actually made in 1962. Featuring primarily OG and NOS components, Brent transformed this American beauty into a true original piece. The designers of this clean machine would have been just as proud of this design as they were of their original '62 concept car, down to every panel, screw, and bolt. Brent's execution achieves not just a classic look, but also a street ready classic lowrider style all in one foul swoop. To balance the old and the new, the modern and the classic, the flashy and the conservative is not an easy thing, let alone achieving that in one vehicle, but Brent Reese of Covina, CA has done just that. Rolling to the Majestics' new year's picnic must have been a breeze in this big body beauty, Brent has truly achieved what he initially set out to do; make a California Classic with a Lowrider edge. We look forward to seeing the results of the next project he decides to tackle as this one is an example of mere perfection.
