Description

People call them “G” Machines, Pro Touring cars or Restomods. It’s a type of vehicle that mixes classic looks with modern technology. To purists, the very idea of blending the two is utterly incomprehensible, like cats marrying dogs. To the hot rodder, making it the way you like it is what it’s all about. And visually, it’s all about the stance. Wide tires, big wheels and lowered ride height all help to provide more cornering grip, but the willingness to max it out – tastefully, mind you – seems to separate the pups from the big dogs.
