The bike is a custom built 09 Harley Deluxe...Screamin Eagle kit, fishtail exhaust, 45 degree rake on the forks and Legend air bags.......she's on the ground.  Painted to match the 57

Let me begin by giving props to all the Original 57's out there.  For this year model car was truly one of the greatest ever built.  I personally strive to to personalize my cars.  That is to say make them my own.  So if I have offended anyone by my personal vision, know that it is just that....my PERSONAL vision.

     

 

These are custom made Forgiato's.  22 by 9.5 in the rear w/5 inch lip, 20 by 8 in the front w/2.5  inch lip.....

These are just the first of many to show the transformation.  This 57 has a Corvette LS6 under the hood, power steering, power brakes, rear posi gear in a 10 bolt rear end from a 69 Camaro. power windows, in dash A/C, 350 w/OD,4 wheel disc brakes, AM/FM/IPOD,Bluetooth, touch screen Kenwood w/500watt Alpine....all hidden under the seats and in the trunk (2 floating 10 inch woofers) and glovebox,  ...still has the Wonderbar in the dash.  In fact were it not for the wheels....she would look almost completely original.

The interior is from a hardtop, I like the color combo better, and the dash was also painted to match. Normally the dash is 2-tone. The steering wheel is from a 61 Impala, with a tilt column and emergency flashers.

This is a Corvette LS6 crate engine with a custom cam putting out 485HP.  The suspension while completely rebuilt with polyurethane is stock with a front sway bar.  The gear is a 3.08, so the gas milage is in the mid twenties.

The rear center gold vee is also an LED third brake light, rear back-up lights under the tail lights.  Gas cap/filler is hidden in the tail fin chrome on the driver side above the tail light.

There is a Kenwood touch screen in the glovebox with an Alpine 5X1 500 watt amp in the trunk with dual 10 in sub woofers.  There are a set of dual cone9's in the kick panel, dual cone 6X9's under the front seat and a set under the rear seat topped off with 4 mini tweeters in the dash .  The head unit under the front seat has Nav , DVD and CD capabilities.  Currently I just have IPOD,AM/FM and bluetooth with the docking station in the glovebox.
