Slooten Race Cars

This bespoke wing is truly a work of art, and I'm proud of what we've achieved. The custom-made wheelie bar and parachute finish the look. We've made significant progress on Dennis Farge's Iroc Z28 Camaro and will start testing soon.

Today was "D" day for delivering cars, 3 cars completed and collected, the 57 Buick and 57 Chevy were full restorations and the 55 Chevy wagon came in for a Sniper fuel injection system. Blessed to work on these beautiful cars! Now we relax and share a beer. 🍻🥳

Another restoration heading out, looking so clean in the ice white paint . Powered by a thundering 454 bigblock Chevy with a bullet proof TH400 transmission and a strong Ford 9" diff, this truck is a blast to drive. The Keystone Classic 15"wheels with BF Goodrich tyres complete the look. With Simon Slooten , Brian Hayman , Nico Debruyn, thanks guys!

Proud to showcase another frame off restoration undertaken by our shop. This classic 57 Buick received some major upgrades to make it drive as good as it looks: GM LM7 5.3L engine, 4L60E gearbox, Ford Crown Victoria front suspension and a complete Lincoln independent rear suspension. It rides on custom one off billet 20" wheels wrapped in Pirelli P Zero tyres. Ebie from Creative Rides Upholstery did the interior in a beautiful red leather.

It's been a very busy year for us with some ups and downs, but we still feel blessed to be able to do what we do.. Let's hope we can complete these cars in 2026, they are so close to being finished. We have a string of cars waiting to come into the shop early next year, it's going to be a hectic year ahead. Thanks for all the support guys and girls, and a Merry Christmas to all!🎁🎄
With Brian Hayman and Nico Debruyn.

Another ute under construction, finally on its wheels. With Rudolf Van Biljon and Dennis Rawlins. Special thanks for all the hard work Brian Hayman and Nico Debruyn, almost ready to go to Simon Slooten to do his magic with a stunning paint job. Stay tuned for this one, with a Mazda 2L FE 16V engine and a G Force 2000 gearbox it's going to hurt some feelings!

This is one brutal little car, thanks for trusting us to finish her off Garrick. It's a gearbox killer though🥴

Another full restoration nearing completion. Tomorrow it will get sent away to have a full stainless duel exhaust fitted and then we can start testing. The ole Chevy 350/TH350 combo is hard to beat for looks,power and reliability. Digging this blue, it looks so clean.

What a cool memory. Did this full restoration on a 69 Charger before I started my company. Clint du Plooy did the paint. Was nice to spot this short clip on YouTube thanks to Joel Batty Silva and Annie Silva

So as we're heading to close for the festive season and a much needed rest I realize that we've had a crazy year behind us. Here are some photos of projects and cool cars we've had the privilege to work on during 2024. I just want to shout out to my guys for all the hard work you guys do and putting up with my temper. And a special thank you to all my loyal clients for being patient and understanding. Merry Christmas! 🎄🎁
