2008 ‘FLEX FUEL’ CHEVROLET AVALANCHE
A combined effort from American rock band Cheap Trick and the award-winning project vehicle team at RealWheels Corp. designed and created the Avalanche in the spirit and style of one of the most covered bands of all time. It’s fast, it’s cool, and it rocks! The theme is a Dream Police tactical unit: extreme style, performance and entertainment, in celebration of the 30th anniversary of Cheap Trick’s popular “Dream Police” album.

The flex-fuel vehicle will be outfitted with aftermarket accessories from some of the best names in the business and many one-of-a-kind parts tailored specifically around the promotional theme from the music industry. The custom paint scheme and elaborate lighting package will instantly attract visitors to take a closer look.

The Avalanche’s performance has been enhanced with the addition of a computer chip, supercharger, headers and exhaust system. Aftermarket lighting is creatively placed throughout the vehicle’s exterior and interior features. The suspension is slightly lifted, just enough to allow the wider and more aggressive wheel/tire package, thus improving the stance. The addition of custom steel bumpers and an aggressive grille guard further enhances the truck’s powerful appearance.

RKSPORT PROJECT CHEVY MAILBU 2008
The theme for the RKSport Chevy Malibu 2008 was designed around a European style, look and feel. It builds on the strong OE lines and concepts originally presented by GM engineers.

RKSport’s styling modifications include: a fiberglass hood with fully functional ram-air scoop; polyurethane front lower fascia; rear lower fascia; left and right side skirts; plus a fiberglass rear roof spoiler and rear trunk spoiler.

The many years of styling and design work have resulted in the high-quality, hand-laid fiberglass, carbon fiber and polyurethane products RKSport is known for. RKSport has been recognized by GM for Excellence in Design.

In addition, the project vehicle will be enhanced with products from several reputable, well-known aftermarket companies that manufacture and supply high-quality, marketable products. Paint will be the “Silverstone Metallic” stock paint. We selected this color as we believe it will photograph well and will show the clean lines and contours of the car, body kit and exterior components of the vehicle. Grille texture will be stock and the chrome will coincide with the body color.

GM ‘DRIFT’ COLORADO
MBRPinc built this “Project Speed” project vehicle with GM Canada. The truck has a fully certified cage, custom-built frame, race suspension, full race interior and more.

The real news here is the motor and transmission —  an LS7 with a Procharger unit making 20LBS boost. The transmission is a six-speed manual. We are shooting for the 1,000-hp range in a Colorado. We will be the first to put an LS7 in to the Colorado, so we may as well do it in a big way.

Note that even as a truck with incredible power on tap it also will deliver solid fuel efficiency. This truck will demonstrate what diesel can do in a smaller format.

Some companies and their products involved are GM Parts; GM Canada; MBRPinc; Toyo tires; Cobra seats; PPG paints; Pioneer audio; and Procharger.

The project is being built at Ultimate Driveline in Michigan as a GM Drift project, for GM Canada. Along with drift events we are looking to have this truck do very well in other motorsport events, as well.

We plan to drag race the truck in the 10’s, run at the Texas Mile upward of 180, run the Silverstate Classic and then cruise the Hot Rod Power Tour getting 18-20 MPG. Put this one down as a triple-threat torque with speed and fuel efficiency.

Among others, participants in this project include the following companies: Magnuson; GM; Oasis; and Toyo Tires.

‘TACKLE JACK’ 2007 FORD F150 SUPERCREW 4x4
Blending into the outdoor environment has proven to be a strategic survival tool for many walks of life. The ability to adapt to the environment, changing colors, blending with various colored backgrounds and terrains can be the difference between life and death.

The “Tackle Jack” has learned this secret of survival. “Kill or be killed.” Most either have to pursue their prey, or evade other animals that purse them — the predator-prey interaction.  Some have developed deterrents in the way of spines or toxic secretions; and many, such as Westin’s “Tackle Jack” have become masters of camouflage, blending perfectly with the surrounding environment waiting for the right moment to seize its prey.

Here are the products we used for Tackle Jack: Ford Motor Co. 2007 F150 Super Crew FX4 4X4; Banks Engineering monster exhaust; B.A.S.F. custom paint; Bushwacker Inc. fender flares; IFW Bedslide’s WeatherDeck bedslide; Katzkin custom leather upholstery; Keystone Restyling Good Hood hood scoop; LINE-X spray-on bed liner; Magellan Crossover GPS; PG Custom Cars shop/builder; Pro-Comp Extreme Alloy Wheels 7089; PTeazers Inc. custom paint; Toyo Tires Open Country M/T; Truck Covers USA’s American Work Cover tonneau; and Wade Automotive bug/wind deflectors.
