Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension

The truck has been moving along pretty quick. Been so busy haven't had a chance to post anything but here's where I'm at. All of the fuel lines, brake lines and air lines are done. Brakes work and power steering has been cycled. The cab is on and the truck should be fully assembled in the next few days. Interior has been ordered and crunch time is officially here. Turkey Rod Run in Daytona will be here before we know it.

Here's one of the air cleaner I plan to run. I'm going to have it painted to match.

Your truck is coming together so nicely, it will be drop dead gorgeous when finished. What's the target date?

I have a group of people working hard to get it done. A lot has been done and prepped so once the truck is together mid week they can finish it up. The interior is being wrapped now so it should hopefully all come together. But like anything issues could always occur.

Everything just looks great. Huge congrats. Can’t wait to see it finished. Please post full perimeter exterior photos, the bed wood (I’m doing mine now, ugh) and interior.

Thanks for the comments. We’re wrapping up the interior etc within the next week or so but as soon as it’s done I’ll post pics of everything.

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.

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.

Murd

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.
