Your right about the emblem! I do see some resemblance between your project and an old Chevette!
Its funny, I just did a spell check and the dictionary did not recognize Chevette; the recommended correction for Chevette was Corvette!!!

Thanks for the comments. We still have ALOT of work to do before its show worthy but it was nice to be able to take it out for a spin to make sure it was actually going to work. Nothing worse then spending months on something then finding out you made a mistake and there is no way its going to work.
Amazing enough there was no issues on the first test drive. Pretty amazing actually after what all has been done.
Sure is going to get people taking a 2nd look though.

No Fuel Cell.....
Corvette uses saddle tanks behind the seats. They are behind the Aluminum covers shown in this picture
They are still there :) We had to put the filler neck in the truck cause we didnt want a filler door on the rear 1/4.
