hi, maybe some of you can help me...
for the rear im looking for original looking LED lights..
i know there is a lot for sale in that corner.. but some look good and some look bad.. im looking for 100% original look swaps or nowadays interpretations..
it just has to match the car good..
i saw the new donkervoort D8 GTO it has some nice rear light.. somebody know who delivers those..? it has the same SPA mirrors as my car will have.. so they obtain external parts i think.. its a small dutch brand so they will not fabricate all those parts inhouse im allmost sure.

I like the integrated diffuser under the license plate. Should be a cool project! I'm in the middle of my 1972 Vette build right now as well.

I need some help again... who has experience with aftermarket Paddle Kits??
What improvements are possible to choose for example for a setup from Willwood instead of modifying the originals... ? Does anyone has experience in here?
Besides the skills, the looks are important for me as well.. but most important is that everything has to be order to get this car to be an ultimate driving machine....
If its important.. the car will get a PFGM-17008 Tremec Magnum Extreme 6 speed Trans. Billet Flywheel, Alum. Bellhousing, Ceramic Clutch Kit, Hydraulic clutch kit.
Please let me know...
thx dennis

Grill Mock Up
Jeff from Heartland made some progress in mocking up the front grill...
Cause we will go for a custom grill with a bulky egg crate design instead of mesh we actually get back to earlier designs tavis Made..
So Jeff is now very busy and took the original grilles and mounted them in the car and then fiberglassed them into a one piece grille. He also removed the lower chrome piece that extended below the grille. The CNC shop will use this mockup for measurements to cut brand new custom grilles that we have designed. Also the mounting holes will go away and it will mount from the rear.

Elise tail lights arrived...
the elise tail lights arrived at Jeff Page from heartland customs...
Now we have a small issue with the taillights. I was wanting the taillights to be four red rings at night, but that isnt the way they are designed. I didnt really care if all four red rings got brighter or just two when you pushed the brake. Unfortunately neither is possible.
On the inner lights with the white reverse lights, they only have LEDs in the top half of the red rings for the brake. The bottom half of the ring has illers in the LED holes, but no LEDS. So when you drive at night, you will have one red circle of taillight on each side and when you press the brake pedal, the outer ring of red on each side will get brighter and the inner red will only light up the top half of the red ring. The only time the inner red rings will be on is when the brake is pushed. I have attached pictures to show you what I am talking about.
But giving it some thoughts.. i think its quite nice and different.

Jeff built a cart for the body and got it off the chassis and bolted it on the cart.
There were some unexpectected surprises... Some hidden places with bad rust that needs reperation.
It will be ready for the soda blaster monday..
Keep you guys posted what comes under that..

Body after soda blasting...
here the pictures of the body after the soda blast. it does not look good .. There is much damage and the body was in horrible condition under all that paint and bondo. This car has been wrecked in the past from the rear and has had a tire explosion in the past that shredded the left rear fender. The body has lots of damage and had been repaired with wood and card board.
At this moment it is hard to imagine that this wreck will be the MENACED C3 i have in mind... But no worries... It is in the hands of Jeff Page from heartland customs and all will be fixed and ill keep it posted here...

Dennis, wat een serieus gaaf project zeg!!! Hiermee ga je de lat in NL wel heel erg hoog leggen! (leuk de pics van de Vette in de US met NL platen)
I missed this thread before, just saw it browsing the project forum....but I will be able to see it IRL when it comes back to the Netherlands.....that is very nice to know :-)
Builds of this level are rare for the Netherlands......
