I look forward every year to see what John D'Agostino has brought to the GNRS, this years is really cool, and looks so much better than it did on red carpet at SEMA (that Stutz Blackhawk was the exception, no one can fix those)


it really looks so much better on the white carpet, so much I didn't recognize it, and at the GNRS you can't get close to get interior photos, so, take a look at the beautiful interior from the SEMA gallery I link to at the bottom of this post







bigger better gallery from SEMA at http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2016/11/dagostino-customs-displayed-this-beauty.html but clearly the red carpet was TERRIBLE
