#19. I realized today that I have 1,5 months to finish this build…. And with my normal amount of bench time I’ve got to be glad to get even half of the fabrication done in that time, and then there is detailing an painting… so the Silverado will be racing for next year. And the team need to get an other race car prepped for the 2021 cannonball… So this Silverado C5R Race Truck will be on hold for a while.. and the team start preparing the other race car, that get striped of the castrol sponsors and a wrap to go more discreetly cross country.

Sorry to bring this old one up again but great work on everything there! Did you manage to find a way for the dust since you posted this?

I agree about the unmarked theme since you are racing through so many states. But again full marked looks cooler ?

Great start! Will be following along for the ride!

Nice build, and good to se you are back at it!

Hehe thanks, and yes it’s super ambitious.. was not intended to be but it has actually kept me interested in it. And al the small things I want to make to it and compromise with deadline. well got some hinges done to night. made taillight inserts, have made allot of work on the difusor. Tried with he tequnice of CA and baking powder and made a mess.. will look good in the end. Also found the perfect radiator. And squeezed it in between the frame rails. Also adjusted the wing supports, need some cleaning up.

Hot wheels cars would also be cool.

Can’t agree more! The once out there are sow sow. And I have been trying to get the parts to build mine but finding a ‘77 Monte Carlo here is hard. And then I would need a second Pepsi nascar kit and probably a dodge joker goon car to rebuild the front from

Glad to hear m8!! And see that you are in for the sprint!

Its sort of a movement called Raggare, “hillbilly’s” might be close to what they are, they use the ratty 4door cars as party cars, usually there is a ton of stomped down beer cans on the floor. There are also a more common and more normal car culture about American cars here. here is what I used to drive. a friends ride. this is the Swedish power tour which I attended in 2009. Search for it, Impala buy Truck.

True, I would like the grill horizontal bar to be the only chrome piece except for the lips on the wheels. Black would be cool only down side is that they will barley be visible.. have to think on that.

Great build!

Really nice work!

Snow. And a Audi R8 plus

Mine would be some thing in between this And a Swedish Ragnar bil or Pilsner bil, Beer car. Lots of motor, cabriolet since the song sings that, with mags and raw power and when he gas have gotten to expensive because they(government) raise the tax they continue to drive on Etanol.

Cool build! The weathering looks just right!

I Actually like the the music idea! I have a swedish rock song about a impala Cab with mags with allot of motor!

Just beautiful!

Beautiful build of modern automotive history! Looks great, good work!

Had some fun with this one today.. with the sound track from the best motoring clip. ? Thats it!

Really Nice!

Came out great! Good work there! I also like the late c4’s better looking than the C5‘s specialy in kit form. When a Revell zr1 surfaces here on the bay I will definitely get one!

Came out nice! Have one in the que.. will not be stock. Most likely drag racing chassis. ?
