Silverado Standard

This 1981 Chevrolet Silverado arrived with its panels showing the marks of time. The truck's robust silhouette and purposeful stance hinted at the transformation to come, even as surfaces awaited their renewed finish. Broad surfaces and structural simplicity spoke to the Silverado's enduring character, quietly commanding attention through form alone.

The build's direction was clear: restore the truck faithfully, returning it to the factory color while honoring its original design. Subtlety guided every choice, ensuring that updates emphasized the vehicle's inherent character without unnecessary embellishment or deviation from its intended aesthetic.

In its completed state, Silverado Standard embodies quiet refinement. The body is coated in a soft, light-grey-metal finish with gentle blue undertones, highlighting the truck's surfaces and contours. Polished trim catches the light, reflecting careful attention to detail, while the even sheen of the paint emphasizes balance and cohesion throughout the body. The result is a pickup that celebrates craftsmanship, restraint, and high-fidelity restoration - a true realization of the Silverado's original presence.
