New with current '37 Chevy Corvette truck project...(pic heavy)

[1Bad 37]

My name is Christian, and this is my ride... Highly modified would work in the case of my truck. It’s a 1937 Chevrolet 1/2 ton truck, with a 2001 Corvette engine, or LS1, a T56 6 speed trans, and 3.46 rear end. The frame was custom made by myself with help from my father over the last two years to suit the full Corvette independent suspension and disk brakes all the way around. The truck is supported by a set of fully adjustable coil overs. The wheels are stock 2001 wheels 18x9.5+56 rear, 17x8.5+56 with 255s on rear so they don’t rub on the already 2inch wider rear fenders. The front end is narrowed 6 inches. The Corvette trans is under the bed connected to the motor by a torque tube. The torque tube was custom extended 6.5 inches. The trans being in the back was the reason I made the bed tilt, so people could see the amount of time and effort that went into the truck.
How does it run? Well, the Corvette’s electronics are all there, slimmed down by myself on cold winter nights. The Security systems are all there, I just wired it in such a way that everything that wants to talk, does.

Had a super quick semi-spontaneous photoshoot as it got dark... IPhone doesn’t pick up light too well but I made due, the real camera was home...
