Here is a pic of Levi's 58. I just don't want to copy it. (It looks great!)

Re: 59 Apache/C6 Corvette build
 

Yeah, that's pretty sweet. How about option D:

Re: 59 Apache/C6 Corvette build
 

my eye likes some form of C. maybe slightly more full vs triangle'd, but keep the flat inside n bottom.

D reminds me too much of the new GM HDMI 1 and HDMI 2 tips :lol:

Re: 59 Apache/C6 Corvette build
 

Note: C and D are my bootleg, unofficial designs and not affiliated with HammerFab or TDishon (=

Re: 59 Apache/C6 Corvette build
 

Getting closer:
3d scanning helps.

Re: 59 Apache/C6 Corvette build
 

Taillight design. Based off 61 impala, but with back lit turn signal like the front vents. The lens will be 61 impala.

Re: 59 Apache/C6 Corvette build
 

jealous of the scanner, what are you using?

Re: 59 Apache/C6 Corvette build
 

I believe Hammer Fab is using a Peel.3d scanner

Re: 59 Apache/C6 Corvette build
 

I think A looks classic, B looks ehhh! C looks slick and D looks modern. And the engine bay flat out looks Amazing!

Time to get the interior figured out: Phil Cato is doing the interior.
Seat getting dialed in with the impala center. The emblem will be swapped out for a 1954 Pontiac chieftain emblem(Apache).

Re: 59 Apache/C6 Corvette build
 

Fantastic build! Sat down and went through the entire build thread in one sitting, I couldn't stop, just had to see what was next. You sir have an amazing vision and there is so much talent and design creativity here it just blows me away. Thanks for sharing this with all of us. I can't wait to see those Impala taillights leaving in a cloud of tire smoke. :lol::lol:

Re: 59 Apache/C6 Corvette build
 

Lots of updates: Electrical, Windows and door nu-relic switches installed with modified studs to accommodate the Chrysler inner handles that match the Impala knobs on the dash(who da thunk...)
Skid plate finished with tow hook, Inner fenders done. That was a big project to make nice and solid. Stake pockets bottoms finished. Rear suspension needed major beefing(before and after pic). Done. Ride height set and adjusted.
It's been a busy last couple months...Getting so close!
