  1. Here's mine, built as a Cannonball car specifically for night time high speed running.

    It's been criticized for a lack of exterior detail but the whole point was for the car to be non-reflective and hard to see at night.

  2. Dragged from it's barn home of 40 years with nothing more than a quick rinse to remove the big chunks this poor old Gasser '32 will see new life after some TLC.

    Here she is from back in the day,

    This was my first real attempt at serious weathering and rust, what do you guys think?

    .

  3. Thanks guys, I'll post an update shortly with air cleaners and a few more details.

    A couple of the body mods if no one noticed were shaving the rear bumpers and opening the wheel arches to accomodate the oversize tires hanging out of the openings.

  4. GREAT build!!!! that just looks SO right!!! I supposed that's all carbon fiber under the stealthy paint.....

    Thanks. I'd go along with that :) 650hp and a carbon fiber shell, the thing would probably take off. :P

  5. Looks fast, but i doubt it could outrun bullets... B) Where did the hood, wheels and intake come from?

    The hood and intake came with the kit, the wheels are out of the parts bin and I honestly can't remember what kit they're from.

    As for outrunning bullets?

    You can't shoot what you can't see :blink:

    Depending on the situation you could hit the rear spotlight which would ruin anyones aim and destroy their night vision for a few minutes and then switch no night vision and shut off all the lights.

    With the car painted as it is you wouldn't have much trouble hiding briefly at night until the trouble is past and re-route your drive.

  6. The Stealth Vette is close to done, just some detailing to do.

    I built this one for the Cannonball CBP on another site which should explain the theme of the build.

    The car is a '67 Vette painted in "borrowed" air force radar absorbing non reflective paint for high speed night running. It wouldn't be invisible but every little bit helps.

    Traco built 650 hp 427, Big tank of Nitrous for that little extra when you really need it, Viper spec T-56 six speed, 3.27 gears, 40 gallon fuel cell, high output offroad flood lights front and rear,rear is for discouraging any unwanted attention from law enforcement during high speed night time running, All rear lightning is seperately switched to help the car dissappear when needed and the driver has the option of running with night vision gear if needed.
