Mine is still a work in progress, but you get the idea. Custom rear bumper cover really improves the Image of these Corvettes I think. LS3 under the hood, C5 seats inside. Quite a mixture of parts, but all Corvette.
Wow! Lot's of work here. Great looking!
You have a build thread for this?
Alright guys, you posted that you wanted to see some really custom C3's so here is a link to two different build pages that are going on at Heartland Customs. The STINGRAY is a very custom design for a guy that likes the retro look and the MENACE is the most modernized high end C3 ever built! Both have SPECVETTE chassis that give them new Corvette performance, and supercharged LS drivetrains that will give them modern Corvette reliability and economy while giving them massive power with 700hp and 860hp respectively. I will be glad to answer any questions that you have on either build or any other Corvettes that we are building or have built. Shoot!
That's the same way mine mounts. Is that a modified Eckler Hood or a Molded Stock Hood? I'm baffled. Great potential there!
Ecklers claims its not one of theirs but its one piece moulded. The plan it to blend the fenders so it tilts everything right to the doors and modify the L88 to a lower profile and possibly extend it over the wiper door but still allow the door to function.
Heartland ... Nice!

Do you have any backside picks of the nose how the front bumper mounts?
The bumper is ornamental in this case, it bolts directly through the glass and uses wide washers and lock nuts on the inside to secure it in place. I plan to fashion a reinforcement bar to run behind it, supported off the frame it will protect the rad in case of front collision ... heaven forbid.

Thanks, on mine I am wanting to move the bumper in closer on the sides, by cutting a section out of both sides. Then have it re chromed.
I see another C3 vette in the background of your pictures, is that one yours as well?
No they were corvettes at the place the day I picked mine up, funny you mention that as I saw those cars when I responded to the add and found out he was a private dealer. The farthest one away is a 73 black it was in better condition than mine and the other was a grey 81 also in good condition.
Two years into the build my 76 is almost done. Should be ready for spring. Ls1, Richmond 6, VBP setup underneath and a hand made rear bumper. I think the best part is the script on back.
A few more mods to come as I finish up the build over this winter.
Brent what flairs do you have from custom image,theres flairs like on kaos,and then theres the 4inch flairs ,whats the difference?i might be getting a set. I like your flairs.
