Big Wheels, Big Power, Big Body: A Look Back At The “Kut Da Check” Chevrolet Caprice


Big Wheels, Big Power, Big Body: A Look Back At The “Kut Da Check” Chevrolet Caprice

Building a monster out of a 1977-90 Chevrolet Caprice isn’t anything new. It seems like it, but it isn’t. Lohnes has had Buford T. Justice for six years now, and those in the know have been running them longer than that. It’s a full-frame Chevy with tons of room under the hood and a suspension setup that dates to the early 1970s…do you really think that racers didn’t figure this out? One of the more interesting finds for me last year is the car known as the “Kut Da Check” Chevrolet Caprice. Most of the time it tends to be the kind of car that readers use as a punchline in the comments section: monster wheels, aftermarket grille…it can’t be serious. But the one time I put up a video of this thing on slicks, EVERYBODY snapped up and wanted to know more about the car.

Here’s all you need to know: it’s a grudge car from Georgia and while I still have made no headway into the details of the build, you aren’t deaf…that’s a monster ProCharger doing some major work behind that grille. You can even see the tubes if you look underneath the front bumper. On big wheels the Caprice will hustle out. On slicks, this car launches in classic GM fashion, passenger side rear low, driver’s side front high and hanging. No matter what you prefer, this is a Caprice that will straight-up smack around most anything that will dare line up against it…regardless of the wheels it’s wearing.

    That track looks like a deathtrap for anyone that loses it. From the idiots swarming the starting line to chunked up guard rails just ready to slice through the car and your body
