this is my own creation
Looks like a pretty good replica. I do prefer the smaller lip of the original ACP design, though. Just my preference. Looks more natural and balanced to me.

Are you going with flared rear fenders... the lower part of the rear bumper is throwing me off without the flared fenders.

Props on the mad fiberglass skills... not a fan of the look. But it's your car, so enjoy.

Fyrarms, do you have a profile pick of that car? I looked long and hard for a duck tail that I liked. My favorite was, of course, the Spectre Werks but unfortunately that's no longer available. The Tiger Shark and Corvette Creationz (old and new) are too abrupt for my taste. At least from the rear picture the one by Chazo also looks like it's going to be too angular. I eventually settled on the RK Sport. I was originally worried that it elongated the rear, and I also wasn't keen on the ridge on the side, but now that I have it on, I think the ridge picks up the side skirts nicely. Even though it looks longer, it's not overall, it's just longer at the top because of the altered angle of the end cap not curving back in.

Now that you mention it, I am not sure if he has ever posted a side profile pic. He has a few threads with pics of the car, though. You might find a good one. Member is still semi-active on the site, so try sending him a message. Maybe he has more pics!

I'm still looking for side skirts to match this bumper.. if you guys know of any that'll match id appreciate this.. if not I might venture in making them myself.. I like that acp bumper might have been easier just to buy it.. and mine is angular cuz of the height.. I thought about rounding it off. But that wud mean putting lots of body filler on it and wasn't fond of the idea.. maybe in the future.. and would hate to have put another coat of paint on the car as well... my regular camera on my phone is busted and have to use the selfie cam doesn't do it justice.. but in. Person it looks a lot better.. btw if anyone knows of a front lip or bumper that doesn't look bulky I wud luv to see your ideas..






This was difficult keeping my head out the photo😂😂

And if you guys ever need work done on your corvette and live in jersey or new york.. id be glad to help.. I've done a lot of restos and corvettes even full custom mod corvettes for people. Fabrications or what ever.. and done properly.. such as combining different years together or just wish to have anything built. All my work is affordable.. I believe i still have photos of some of the cool stuff I've done for people

Thanks! That’s exactly what I was looking for. I’ve never seen that car before.

I love it because it's original. I never seen anything like this and glad it doesn't look like a JDM style like some builder out there.

I respect the work.

Hoods and fender flares seem to be the common purchases these days. If you came up with a more commonly preferred look, you might have a small side business pop up.
