Re: 59 Apache/C6 Corvette build
I was wondering if you fell off the edge of the world.
Looks very good.

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...

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.

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.

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.
