Many people will build a nice hot rod and keep it, while others will build something just for the joy of the work and sell it soon after finishing to finance the next project. Brent Jackson is an example of the latter. He built a twin-turbo '57 Chevy and a '69 Camaro, and after selling them both, he had the funds (most of them anyway) to buy his dream car, a midyear Corvette. He ended up finding a wrecked '65 with, in his words, "almost no front end and a bent frame" for a reasonable price. Because it needed a lot of work, and because he had fiberglass experience from working on boats, Brent made the decision to alter the car the way he wanted to, with some custom tricks to give it a modern look.
