Project Menace: 1972 C3 Corvette

[SuperBuickGuy]

I've always wondered what the Audi R8 light would look like as a pop up in a C3... in short, replace the Corvette lights with a light system that looks like the Audi R8 (projectors and LEDs)

Roadster shop??
I see you changed the chassis...

yep... sold streetshop chassis and bought roadster shop chassis..

just the difference between good and better..

Don't know what the first chassis was vs this one. Why not a tube chassis? Just curious. It definitely looks nice but wouldn't tube be stronger and lighter? That is what I always heard anyway.

i never really considered a tube chassis... later i read somewhere that a tube chassis is not allowed in holland.. so good choice on that.

This is a roadster shop chassis http://roadstershop.com/

Hmm wonder why that would be.

the amber turnsignals are white leds when not activated...

I really like that .... were it my car, I'd make the lights pop up just enough for the projectors to shine, and put the signals down on the spoiler (which I'd never have thought of had I not seen your drawing).
thinking out loud here - using electro-tinting glass over the lights would be really cool as well (no pop-up light in that case)

That's an interesting concept, I like it too.

Would you mind sharing the source and model of the hid projectors you are using? I love this project, definitely going to be a trendsetter.

do you mean just the projectors? that you can best ask jeff from heartland customs [email protected]

if you mean the whole housing, then i can tell its one of a kind machined

I was referring to just the projector itself. Thanks

Have you considered something like this for the LEDs ?

good idea. i love audi lights

i think something in this direction we can create by the way we programme the single leds with ISIS computer..

painting engine

Painting the engine and the gearbox in TITANIUM flat grey..

The carbon looks same colour as engine on these pics but the carbon is black in real..

 

[bhays]

Wow. Looking very nice.

the cool way would be a stock appearing cover that slid into the cavity between the body and some projector lights:idea:

Why not use a 4th gen f-body abs, seems pretty self contained but I guess you would need speed sensors

If you need basic pics of a 4th gen f-body abs let me know

With the money behind this project, ABS brakes shouldn't be a problem. Absolutely amazing. I'd like to be doing something like this!!

Did I read that the 6 speed tranny is a T56? I thought that this tranny doesn't have that large of a foot-pound torque rating.
