Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension
I picked up something cool for the 400sbc. This should add a nice touch.

Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension
So after all of that we finally have a roller. This turned out great.

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.

Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension
Your truck is coming together so nicely, it will be drop dead gorgeous when finished. What's the target date?

Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension
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.

Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension
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.

Re: 1956 Chevy 3100 Corvette Suspension
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.
