Jim Lauer's Silver T in Car Craft

[Billdogg]

There's a nice feature on Jim's Silver T in the new December issue of Car Craft. It's nice to see some turbo Buick's in magazines.

I'm a big fan of Car Craft, its about time they featured a TR! I looked in my mailbox this afternoon but it's not here yet.

got mine in the mail today. i was shocked to see a TR, but recognized it right away. i have a pic of that motor in my pc that comes up as a screensaver. that dp is a work of art.

I thought I recognized the dash panels in that car. He also is running one of our console overlays and radio delete panels. Awesome car.

That engine bay is so clean the Queen Mother would be privileged touch the dipstick!

This car is the most awesome non-stock TR I have ever seen. And it looks so close to stock when the hood is closed. A real work of art. (That $75,000 cost estimate blew me away, too.)

No wonder they put a TR in chevycraft. The $75K price tag caught their eye in keeping with what they spend on a typical chevy.

That is quite the car.

I can't imagine driving that car, let alone taking it down the strip.

I'm scared of that car - LOL!!!

I would have liked to see some undercarriage shots.

They could have spend a lot more time on the interior too.

And the build-up.

That's not a TR, it's automotive art.

BTW, The Queen Mother touched my dipstick once...

Super sweet car. Saw it at Nats the night he rolled it out of the trailer. I took a ton of pics of the car, but no complete undercarriage shots. He had a complete photo diary of the work done to the car. I understand it took him 2 or 3 years to build the car.

I think I've seen that car in Belvidere before. Bill you know him?

 

[Billdogg]

He was at the Father's Day car show in Belvidere. I talked to him for a little while there. Seemed like a nice guy. Answered any questions I had. He said he was from Janesville.

Under the hood of that car is simply awesome!

The downpipe, fenderwells, hidden wiring & plumbing...it really is a work of art! Add in an 8 second time-slip and the fact that its street legal...what else would a guy ever need?

 

[87grandnat]

why is that mag not out yet were im at?

 

[rpk250]

I dont have it yet either. I live in illinois, I bet the east coast gets it first.

 

[86brick]

[87grandnat]
