59 Apache/C6 Corvette build

[tdishon]

So I have built a few resto-mods in the past and just sold my twin turbo & supercharged Grand National and am ready to move on to my next project that will be my passion. As I'm getting older I have been really loving old trucks... So I thought I would spends a couple years building a 59 Chevy Apache with all Corvette C6 Grand Sport and ZR1 components.
I live in Arizona and sourced a good body.

Looks like a good start, gotta love them Arizona bodies...

What part of Arizona are you in? I'm a recent transplant to the Peoria area.

I'm a couple months behind on this thread. I have it posted on a couple other sites and thought I would get up to speed here. I'm also in Peoria. Around 75th & 101

Drive train installed. Set engine back about 2", but torque tube still too short.

Fabbed up motor mounts to move engine back to clear blower pulley from rack.

Chassis update: Just about current. This last month I sent out the torque tube to Gamel Street Rods to extend 2" and install a larger drive shaft with ZR1 couplers. The rear end is from RPM. ZR1 Stage4 with 3:42 and Wavetrac.
I have the body at my buddys shop. I'll get some pics of that up next. Cutting out the GMC dash to install a 59 Impala dash.

What a nice setup this is going to be.

That's going to handle just fine I'm thinking! Very cool build...
