Very cool truck! I would love to see that out boiling the tires, sideways, at a stupid kind of speed. :unibrow:

Streetwise 11-17-2009 07:10 AM

Your welcome. Keep a close eye on this project as it is into its final legs of assembly and shakedown. There will be lots more pictures and video in the coming weeks.

GMracer 12-07-2009 06:20 AM

How is the cab able to be removed from the chassis with a rollcage? I'm curious on how you executed that under the cab, I saw the pics for near the rearend

Turned out very nice did you guys make the covers and are the coils underneath them?

Streetwise 03-16-2010 09:59 AM

It is a factory LS 7 coil setup and the covers were done by xtreme custons.

Jr 03-16-2010 05:03 PM

That is one sweet looking truck! When do we get to see more video of it?

Streetwise 03-16-2010 07:58 PM

We will be making a few changes it will be about six weeks before it will hit the street. It has some touch up in the paint and we are changing the front suspension the geometry is not exactly where we want it. Then we will get it on the chassis dyno for some tuning.

c10addict 03-17-2010 05:30 AM

Got to check it out in person this past weekend at Performance World in Toronto... Very nicely done!!

Streetwise 03-18-2010 07:51 AM

Update After a successful debut at the Performance World Show in Toronto picking up Five awards (Best truck, Best Pro Touring, Best Engine and a couple of others) We have Taken Colorado SPEED back to Hitman Hotrods for some finishing touches. Currently it is going through the installation of a new front suspension to correct some geometry issues. Once the suspension is buttoned up it will be off to Xtreme customs for final buff, then to MBRP inc. for the exhaust system and a summer of shows and events.

In the weeks leading up to the Performance world Show we encountered a snag in the build with a crack in the LS7 block.To address this problem we purchased an new LSX block this should with stand every thing we can throw at it. Here are some photos taken preparing for the show.

Nick

The cab mounts were rebuilt incorporating 6" x 6" Steel plates top and bottom of the cab floor. The top plates were attachment points for the roll cage and bolt through the floor to the lower mounts attached to the frame per NHRA specs.
