Re: How about some pics of 47-59
Rears are original Corvette 15"X8", fronts are original 15"X6", used on early Corvettes & fleet cars - Impalas & such. Bought the hub caps at Charlotte Auto Fair. Most of the parts & wheel vendors sell them. Believe Summit sells them also.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
Just haven't been able to do much to the truck through the winter. Hopefully warm weather will help motivate me.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
I love the patina! CLR and a scotch-brite would make that incredible. That's going to be a sweet ride.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
I was looking for a 2 tone paint reference to show my sister (56) an noticed a few pics of my truck. So... I thought I would throw up a few proper ones an say hi. I finished the build over 8 years ago an it's still motoring strong. I'm on the board a lot but always for my 68, which is now my daily instead of the 57. Cheers, Mike
![]() ![]() ![]() Also, I am super proud that there's a painting of my truck hanging in the L.A. Peterson Museum... Representing 57's! ![]() an for the hell of it, here's a pic with skirts ![]() |

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
I'm usually a fan of skirts on just about anything, here however, it would need to be taildraggin for it to look the best. I actually like it better without them. The truck is so clean and damn nice looking. prime example of never getting sick of black with wide whites. some things can and never will go out of style. I also love these with the fleetside bed, but once again this thing just draws me in. I love it.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
Me Too... I bought them long ago with a visor (gave the visor away) kept the skirts but I was never really a fan, just threw them on for that one show. I was in a section of the L.A. Grand National Roadster Show called the Suede Palace, having fun with the customs.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59
Von Zipper, beautiful truck, I saved a picture of it a while back. The color and stance is a major influence in the second rebuild of my 59.
