Vehicle Story
Marco... Our GT3 inspired Build-a-Square Level 3 K5. Started out with the first TCI Engineering Coilover Conversion for the 2wd K5 platform. This gives Marco the stance needed for carving up any highway, and the lowered look desired. Braking from Wilwood helps slowing this one down. Plenty of power from a Lonestar Horsepower tuned LT 6.2, and 8L90 transmission from Apache Transmission, both here in Lubbock. The PPG Racing Green/Summit White Paint was sprayed over the smoothed over and gapped body and shell. One Piece Products Quarter Panel Flush Glass and a Fesler USA Flush Mount Windshield modernize the look of the Glass. Pulling more inspiration from Porsche, we worked with Apex Auto Leather on the "Retro" style Interior. From the High Back front seats to the small woodgrain inserts, it sure feels sporty behind the wheel. JDGlassworks worked their magic wraping all the interior panels, and also with the custom audio featuring the latest Kicker products. Custom coated 20inch Raceline Scoundrel Wheels and Nitto 555 G2 tires keep this one planted on the asphalt. This build was finished to lead the way on our 2024 Dash to Nash road tour from Lubbock, to Nashville for the Triple Crown of Rodding. Marco did just that, stopping at many of our pals shops along the way on the 1300+ mile trip!
