As the lead designer and owner of Smithy Customs, Justin lets us into his world of classic car restorations, revealing the painstaking and rewarding journey of bringing a vintage vehicle back to life. Echoing through our conversation are the revs of a 71 Bronco, Camaros, and a 65 custom Corvette, each with a unique story to tell. Experiencing the high-octane race against time to get a 69 Camaro ready for the show, Justin also shines a light on the importance of modern conversions for safety and reliability.But the adventure doesn't stop there! Get revved up as Justin shares about the unique obstacles in restoring vintage cars, with a special focus on a gorgeous Buick Riviera Nominated for the prestigious Magnificent Seven award qualifing for the Millwinders Award for the Houston show, Justin also enlightens us about how showcasing a car often leads to an influx of similar projects. Get to visualize his workspace, complete with a paint booth, as we wrap up our chat with him, sending our best wishes for his award nomination.Now, let’s change lanes and bring you a comprehensive review of the 2023 GMC Canyon Pickup Truck. We  dissect its features, engine power, off-road capabilities, and impressive Google-based system compatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android.
