The 21' Cannonball Ruse build thread

The team have made progress the cage have been rattle can sprayed black so it won’t be seen as well made a huge contrast to the chassis being white on the race car. And they made the masking as easy ass possible and some spaces could not be reached. -
Really nice work there! Like the paint!

Hehe nice! Other wise, how would it be if you drill out the "projector" and add a projector light behind it so to speak. Or you drill the grill out, keep the "trim"decal(cut the center out) and add a new net and lights like on a Shelby Mustang. You could also do this for the fog lights as marker lights ? -

Looks good, but where are those mandatory “functional” lights? ? -

Looks good but as you say, almost to plain. Might fly more discreet in a darker color. I reed that black is the most common color in the US btw. -

So the team is rushing to prep the old JGTC car for the cross country race. The original wing was removed and a modified stock wing has been sourced. The body has been sanded and blasted to remove the spots of rust and just need a final sanding before the “wrap”. -

I can’t keep myself from hacking… made room for a left over Corvette C5R difusor by curing away the middle section of the body and reshaping the area. have also started thinking about hacking up the flares in the front since I am no fan of the big triangular ones on this one, would prefere the Sard ones but those kits are hard to come by. -

#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.
