Gary and Deby Myers - Silver Bullit
Although riding on airbags all round, Lovells have designed and manufactured custom mono tube short body shock absorbers for the Silver Bullit. The shocks are hand built with BHP sourced seamless tube with Bilstein sourced closing parts and valving. Extensive shock dyno testing ensures that the valve codes have been designed to work with the weight of the car as well as the dampening of an airbag application rear.

Lovells are proud to be associated with Silver Bullit. Gary and Deby’s passion and down to earth nature is an inspiration to all.

Silver Bullet debuted in Sydney at Motor-X in 2004, with an unveiling that excited and overwhelmed the Street Machining Scene.

Then there were a lot of Invitation Shows, as well as Judging Shows, along the way.
At the Holden vs. Ford Show in Melbourne (November 2004) the Silver Bullet won Top Ford of State, Top Mustang, Top 10 Undercarriage, Top Paint, Top Engine Bay, Top Interior and Top Engineered.

Then at the SummerNats 18 in January 2005 the judges and the spectators were in accord; Gary and Deby's Silver Bullet had the 'WOW!' factor hands down. The Silver Bullet won People's Choice, Top Show Elite and Co-Grand Champion, which meant the Silver Bullet was not just displayed but was driven by Gary in competition.
