Day 4 recap. Today was about assembling the front end, knocking out more wiring, and adding trim. But, the biggest deal today was installing the TMI interior. Yea, what would normally take months at a custom interior shop will be accomplished in mere hours by the guys at TMI. Tomorrow we will continue the wiring dance, plumb the cooling system, add the front fenders (along with the trim), and start getting the car ready to fire.

Day 3 recap. Day 3 is all about the little things that need to be done, but don’t make you feel closer to having the car on the road. Number one on the list of necessary, but somewhat tedious, tasks is wiring. Yep, it needs to be done and it needs to be done right, but it’s certainly not as exciting as dropping in big parts like the engine. Our goal for today, and it will happen before anyone leaves our MotorTrend Tech Center, is to have the body mated to the chassis. It might happen at midnight or in the wee hours of the morning, but it will happen today so we can stay on schedule.

Day 2 recap. Today was all about bolting on parts. While one team tackled the chassis the other one worked on doing projects on the body such as the Old Air Products A/C system and the Painless wiring. Our goals for today were to have the chassis finished with the brakes and fuel system plumbed and the LT1 and Magnum sitting in place. That will leave day 3 for more wiring, some wiring, and even more wiring.

“Coke is it!” That familiar slogan adorned the sides of IMSA legend Bob Akin’s Porsche race cars from 1980 through 1987, along with unmistakable Coca-Cola red paint scheme and the white Coke “wave.” It’s one of the most iconic liveries in IMSA history – and it’s making a comeback. The pair of IMSA WeatherTech SportsCar Championship GT Le Mans (GTLM) class-leading Porsche 911 RSR race cars will wear the livery for Motul Petit Le Mans at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta on Oct. 9-12. The 10-hour race serves as the season finale for both the WeatherTech Championship and the IMSA Michelin Endurance Cup. Tune in on NBC at 12 pm ET on Saturday October 12 to catch all the action!
Day 1 recap. This time around we’re building a sweet “1955” Chevy. Why the quotes? Well, our ’55 body was crafted together out of new sheetmetal from Golden Star and will be sitting on a completely aftermarket chassis provided by CPP. So we have a week to turn a trimmed out and glass-filled shell into a running driving ride. It’s a lot of work, but we dig a challenge.
