Re: 59 Apache/C6 Corvette build
With the slimmer door handles, I wanted knuckle clearance.

Re: 59 Apache/C6 Corvette build
details like that, are awesome. you'll appreciate it every time you drive it, the detail will not go un-noticed by anyone, but no one will know why it caught their eye. .05% of ppl will get it and enjoy it.

Re: 59 Apache/C6 Corvette build
When the bed floor is up, the rear section looked very unfinished and ugly. This panel looks right. #HammerFab

It's been a minute since this build had an update, just saying.

Re: 59 Apache/C6 Corvette build
What’s your plan for the master cylinder now you’ve redone the firewall? Under dash? I’m facing a similar dilemma.

Re: 59 Apache/C6 Corvette build
Update. Hammerfab has been moving to their new shop. Column and exhaust parts ordered. Waiting for the move to be complete and progress in August.

Re: 59 Apache/C6 Corvette build
I was doing an under the cab, but decided to do an engine bay firewall mount for ease of everything involved and space. They have a billet master with ports in the lower rear for a cleaner look.

Re: 59 Apache/C6 Corvette build
What frame mount master cylinder and what Billet master? I have a blackout setup with a Wilwood master I’m debating on using, but after having redone the firewall I’m hesitant to cover it up.

I was doing a hydro boost on the frame, but after two other projects with hydroboost. I have decided it's just not for me.

Re: 59 Apache/C6 Corvette build
When your truck is done I'd love to see it in person, please give me a holler if that's cool.

Re: 59 Apache/C6 Corvette build
I spent the day at HammerFab. Took some video and pics. We also discussed everything going on. Looking forward to the next step of new firewall and inner fender refinement. Got the column in the right spot and ordering the steering wheel. Exhaust is looking good/ Mufflers and resonators are from Stainless Brothers. Rear bumper is so clean, but making room for the license plate and still figuring out exhaust exit through the bumper.

Re: 59 Apache/C6 Corvette build
No success on my video. The file is too big. Here is a video Levi Green did and my truck is in it.
