Default Custom C3 Bullet Tail Light Inquiry

Saw this on the Custom Image Corvettes website, and I love the tail lights. Looks like custom work, does anybody know where to get a pair or somebody to contact? Not interested in anything else. They add nice depth to the recessed tail light area. They'd look nice on my '75!

Tail lights are not custom, I think they came off of a 60's Dodge someone else posted these when they changed over.

Found 'em. It seems the owner installed 1970 Camaro tail lights on this project. Thanks!

I really like the early C3 rear on this car. It also appears to have 68-9 gills. I'd like to see the rest of the front end. There are a couple members here doing this mod. I also think there is now a "kit" to make this much easier.

Somebody did a nice metal bumper conversion on that. I'd really like to see the front too.

A little late to the party-

Here's fellow forum member "The Phantom" AKA Dave- fitting the 70 Camaro's taillights to his car.

Hey Richard,
How's the LED tail light conversion experiment coming along?
Are we going to be seeing some samples anytime soon?
