Re: 59 Apache/C6 Corvette build

I've watched Hammerfabs videos in the past but didn't know they did this caliber work. Beautiful!

Re: 59 Apache/C6 Corvette build

Back to work: Dash getting more mods. Added another spot for the pass pwr window switch(Original A/C was in this area). It was off balance and bare. Inner fenders are getting finished. Exhaust is about done. Just have to figure out how we want to exit.

Nice job on the counter sunk booster. I wish I would have though of that.

Re: 59 Apache/C6 Corvette build

Getting close. 95% of metal work is complete. Grill has ducts for intake and transmission cooler. 3D printed until all bugs worked out, then off to get machined out of aluminum. Blinker is around the duct just behind the lip.

Most of the work this last month has been on fluid lines, wiring and trans linkage. The pictures would be boring stuff. LoL

I guess I'll have to post some pics. On the wiring, I like MIL-Spec connectors. Just my own person preference. Makes it very sectional and transfers nice out the cab. Work in progress...

Re: 59 Apache/C6 Corvette build

Yeah, nice work. I like those valve covers as well. I might knock out a few sets if I have 15 minutes to spare.

As if.

Getting some pics done for a poster in its current state. Still need the impala taillights and other things, but she looks good in bare metal.
