Re: 59 Apache/C6 Corvette build
Most of the work this last month has been on fluid lines, wiring and trans linkage. The pictures would be boring stuff. LoL

Re: 59 Apache/C6 Corvette build
Tell me right now that the lines and wiring don't look super professional and clean...

Re: 59 Apache/C6 Corvette build
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
Soo good. I REALLY like those one off valve covers.

Re: 59 Apache/C6 Corvette build
I really considered those sweet connectors for the LS harness.... but it was just SO much cutting, pinning, etc. Your truck is worth it though.

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. |

Re: 59 Apache/C6 Corvette build
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.

Re: 59 Apache/C6 Corvette build
Freaking sweet! I'd like to say I'd do this stuff if I had a waterjet... but the cutting is the easiest step.

Re: 59 Apache/C6 Corvette build
Looking for input on exhaust exiting.
A or B? B might be changed up a lil. Just trying to figure out a direction.

Re: 59 Apache/C6 Corvette build
I like B just because it’s a little different. A would be cool too if not just the traditional round tips.
