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
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
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.

Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension
Here are the last pics I’ll post before I pick the truck up next week. Getting the truck ready for the first show. Going to be making the trip from Tampa to the Lone Star Throwdown. I’ll post detailed pics of the truck once I get to the show.

Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension
The truck is 95% done. I was able to get it home in order to take it to the Lone Star Throwdown in Texas. Truck did awesome and won top 100.
