Cool Candy Red T/A Detailed - G-Force

G-Force has once again allowed me to take care of one of their great customers.

This gentleman had a LT1 style T/A that had been completely repainted in a candy apple-ish red color with paint matched Z06 rims. Needless to say, I had never seen one before and it looked AMAZING after it was cleaned up. Don't be fooled though, the car had been sitting for a while at the shop while the motor was being finished and the paint had deposits all over it. It was very rough to the touch and had some spots (especially on the hood) where it looked like the body shop didn't quite buff out all the wet-sand marks. I took care of all that though and the owner is quite happy with the outcome.

Here are the pictures:

Robert's Turd needed a clutch.

Never mind Mr Bahn's 1500 RWHP boost only Supra.

I wish!!


IT is a solid roller 409 LT4. It dynoed 525 RWHP through a 4l60e. He has done a few projects with us and that is the reason we took on a LT1 build.

So no we dont work on LT1's.

Isn't it though? I thought it was one of the cleanest LT1 style T/As I've ever seen...

When are we partying, sir?
