59102, Teaser pic of corvette tails
Posted by DocWhiplash, Oct-04-03 11:54 AM
Well I've had these done for a few months now but never got around to posting a pic. I get kinda lazy and dont have a good camera. Heres a pic someone took for me at the track though. It's just the three stock pieces fiberglassed together with the corvette tails fiberglassed in.

Oh yeah sorry about the size.

Looks fuggin sweet! I like that you kept the stock outers to keep the lines flowing in the rear.

Good job.

Vector had a full Corvette tail conversion, he was the only other one i'd seen and i always loved it, but i don't think he's a member anymore, havent seen him in over a year.

Did you get those tails from Basikstylz who got them from Vector? I "think" their vector's old tails which he sold to basikstylz.

He made those lights himself.

Oh, it looks a lot like Basikstylz' tails. They're also molded into the stock lights.

So then I was right?

BTW, Basikstylz has new rims I think. Those were 16's from back in the day.

Thanks for all the comments guys. Ok now to answer a few questions. I did get these off of A1eyed1der but they were pretty rough and needed about 10 hours of bodywork to get them back to normal. They where broken in a few places, and pretty much in three pieces, but most of the harder stuff was done. I had to fiberglass and completely reinforce the whole thing. Then normal prep work on top of that.

I have differnt rims on the front because I seem to run a little slower at the track with those heavy ass 18's. and at the time of the 14.8 I was running about a 50 shot.

edit: oh and 95 mitsu, how did I lie about anything. I think I said on that post I had some more fiberglass to do and some bondo work. :shrug
