Time to get the interior figured out: Phil Cato is doing the interior.
Seat getting dialed in with the impala center. The emblem will be swapped out for a 1954 Pontiac chieftain emblem(Apache).

Re: 59 Apache/C6 Corvette build

Fantastic build! Sat down and went through the entire build thread in one sitting, I couldn't stop, just had to see what was next. You sir have an amazing vision and there is so much talent and design creativity here it just blows me away. Thanks for sharing this with all of us. I can't wait to see those Impala taillights leaving in a cloud of tire smoke.

Re: 59 Apache/C6 Corvette build

Lots of updates: Electrical, Windows and door nu-relic switches installed with modified studs to accommodate the Chrysler inner handles that match the Impala knobs on the dash(who da thunk...)
Skid plate finished with tow hook, Inner fenders done. That was a big project to make nice and solid. Stake pockets bottoms finished. Rear suspension needed major beefing(before and after pic). Done. Ride height set and adjusted.
It's been a busy last couple months...Getting so close!
