Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension
 

I appreciate the comments. This build had been going on what seems like forever. To finally get toward the end is just crazy. I’m hoping everything goes smooth from here and we get it done.

Wow that sure is some awesome work and done so beautiful!! What seats are you going to be using?

Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension
 

I’m using some bucket seats out of a Scion. The backs have been cut down to sit as close to the bottom of the window as I could.

Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension
 

The truck is coming along.

Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension
 

It’s getting close. Now it’s back to get the interior wrapped up

Looking fandamtastic, it's got to be great to be so close to the finish. Or are they ever finished?

Two batteries? Are the 2 6V to create 12V? Is the battery set up for the full tk or just for what is in the consul?

Whoa, Holly Chumoka!!!! Right arm!!

Keep on keepin on

The batteries are XS Power D1200 Series 12 volt batteries. Both batteries will run everything on the truck.

Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension
 

Looks super...Jim

Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension

Hi Murd, have a quick question on your brake pumbing. Do you have any pics of your rear calipers and brake lines showing how you transitioned from hard lines to flex lines? Mine are from an '88 corvette so calipers are on the front side of the axle. Looking for ideas, if you have any pics i would love to see them, if not dont make a big deal out of it, i will figure it out, thanks, Blake

Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension

Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension
 

Thanks. I appreciate it. I hope to have it wrapped up in the next couple of weeks.

Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension

Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension
 

Thanks.

Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension
 

beautiful truck

Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension
 

Went to check out the truck. Still some small things to wrap up and still a good amount of work to do. I actually got to drive the truck for the first time in almost 7 years. It sounded great and it was awesome. Overall I’m pretty happy with it. It’s starting to look good.

Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension
 

Here’s a clean picture of the motor.

Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension
 

that truck looks AWESOME!. I love that color choice and the chrome really sets it off. the wheels were a great choice too. make sure to post a few pics of the completed unit. nice detail work.

Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension
 

Thanks for the comments. I definitely will.

Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension
 

Looks great.

Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension
 

All I can say is WOW!!! Fantastic job and I too can't wait to see the finished product.

Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension
 

What do you mean "starting to look good?" That thing looks fabulous!

Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension
 

Just got done reading this entire thread.
First have to say great job on the thread and keeping us updated on your progress and all the details.
Second, what a beautiful truck, can't wait to see the finished product!!

Just have a small question for you, how did you get the tires to fit in the rear fenders? Widen the fenders or narrow the rear?

Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension
 

vey,very,VERY nice!

Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension
 

Beautiful!

:uhmk:

Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension
 

nicely done. ..always feels good when you can see the end in sight...what color red is that btw..in case I missed it earlier...

Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension
 

I had to narrow the rear 2.75” to get the wheels to fit. I didn’t want to widen the fenders.

Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension
 

Thanks everyone for the comments. There’s been a lot of bumps in the road especially on the last 10% on getting it done but I’m almost there. As far as what the color is it’s supposed to be blue blood red.

Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension
 

Here’s a sneak peek of the Interior. These are from a couple weeks ago so I haven’t been able to see how it turned out yet.
