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

Just beautiful! Incredible build! What diff and rear suspension did you use? Custom?

Some.. ? but still in primer which none of my Silverado parts where ready for ?

The Supra is al ready ahead of the Silverado…

Might have changed.and it might have been new sold cars. It was 2019 I saw.

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.

Looks very good! As mentioned, look like a up scaled covair but with better proportions.

Nice builds Guys!

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”.

Hehe nothing say undercover race car as stickers for everything not necessary for function!

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.

Beautiful build!

#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!
