Honestly as cool as the OG bikes are I would just start over. The old Dyno frames are usually alot heavier than their modern counterparts and 1 piece cranks kinda suck the first time you lay it down hard. It will actually be cheaper to just buy a new mid level bike which can handle abuse or a used high end bike if you live near a city you can get to easy. Kink, Sunday and FIT make decent midlevel (starter bikes) usually around 400usd new delivered, sub 200 bikes unless you are buying decent used makes (Kink, Sunday, WTP, Fit, ect) GT and Dyno, Mongoose are pretty low end now days and will break and bend more frequently and give you more problems and often not as good of a ride and end up costing you more in the long run to get them right. You want to look into Chromoly bikes with 3 piece cranks 20′ wheels with a Top tube with a good size for your height with a 25T-28T main and 9T rear freecoaster cassette, older BMX usually had much larger Mains 30+T which were more prone to bending and getting damaged when doing grinds.
It’s a Diamondback….something.
