I bought this truck right off the track at the last CORR race in Chula Vista, Man was it hammered. Almost 6 months later its almost done and ready to race.

Todd,
Wow you have done alot of work. The truck looks great. Is that a Toyota motor? Are you planing on racing the whole CORR series or just Chula Vista?

Yes, Its a Toyota, 3RZ on the engine. I want to run the whole CORR series but we might miss the first race. The pics of the truck don't show that it is still a ways from being done. I want to test it for a while also, we are trying a new shifter set up and I don't want to look like an idiot in front of thousands of people either. We will probably race the MDR Superstition in the 1450 truck. It is on the same day.

Jim Kandell from Ohio somewhere. It is a Greave/Kincaid truck and is well built. When I bought it I could see thru the ugly yellow and I new it was a well designed truck that had a lot of money thrown at it in its day.

Did you powdercoat the chassis? Oh, also as an FYI the bed cover is no longer required as it was a couple years ago.

Thanks for all the positive comments. BA, the bed cover was actually my idea to cover up the spiderweb of tubes and to keep mud away. It just looks funny without it. They are 2 carbon fiber panels that fiberwerks made me. Plus its more room for sponsor decals if I ever get any. The Yellow paint was everyehere and on everthing but some panels and the shocks. Sorry Caterpiller would have run away. The best I can describe it was yellow tablet color.

Todd,
Nice job on the rebuild. I'm doing the same thing and having a blast doing it. It doesn't even look like the same truck...KUDOS.

Just painted it last weekend. Kinda nice the only paint is on the doors. Boatec can make the fenders any color you want. Whole front clip is white and bedsides are black.I found a before pic from the round 14 CORR race when I bought it.

Truck is looking great!
I really like how you are staying with the paint theme that is on the 1450 truck. Got to get you some FiberwerX decals for PL.
