Like the paint job, really jumps out at you.
And I like the look of super-lite wheels on the 60's and 70's cars.

Where did the flares come from? They look like they are Corvette specific. I've been looking for some off the shelf flares for another project.

They look like L88 flares: http://www.guldstrand.com/scripts/pr...p?idproduct=45

Beautiful 'Vette! But why the locked rear? It doesn't exactly look like a drag car.

Looks great, I also agree why the solid rear end? Now if want to cool build a frame with c5/c6 stuff under it :yes:

Thank You, I appreciate the compliment.

The flares are C3 specific and they come from http://www.acivette.com/, but there is other manufacturers.

Thank You.



Thank You.





Why the solid rear?

My reasoning is that the C3 IRS is weak, and there is no way I would be ever to fully appreciate the power of the LS1 and T56 without being worried about braking the rear, especially with a 345 drag radial. Also to beef up the current IRS would far exceed the cost of a solid axle.

Solid axle I get (mostly, I am installing an IRS in my 442). The Dana44 is pretty damned strong (held an LS-6 OK, right?). But why a locked rear? Is it to be a drag car?

Nice paint. :thumbsup:

I built a 72 vette last summer. But I mini tubbed and 4 linked. I personally dont like flares. Paint looks great like the stripe.
