Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
Nice looking battery tray. I probably would have done the same but I have a horn in the way on that fender. Hopefully easy to unbolt from the fender if you ever need to remove your fender for work on the headers or starter.

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
Thanks! Very easy to unbolt. Funny you mention horns I was thinking a few days ago where to put them. I plan on mounting my horns on the bottom pan that is attached to the grill.

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
looks super great! always love a project where the stated goals are the eventual outcome.
nice work, nice work, nice work. I said it three times because one wasnt enough and two still didnt get the point across.

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
Thanks!!!!! I'm trying but life keeps getting in the way. Had shoulder surgery for a torn labrum 2 months ago and that definitely slowed down my progress.

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
Got the doors on today. The high was only 101 although Wednesday its supposed to be 111 degrees. They need some work and so do the windows but I just want to get them on there. I found someone through a friend to do the wiring for $400. He will get it done way faster than what I would.

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
Looking good! Pretty sure my first drive I didn't even have doors. I was too excited to hear it run and go for a drive haha.

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
Thanks. Yeah I think if I would have went with a carb this thing would have been running before I put the doors on and running around the block.

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
Got the front bumper mount made and the bumper mounted. I will post pictures of the actual mount later. The bumper is about 2.5 inches back than stock.

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
Oh if anyone has a passenger side front fender support laying around let me know. I can't seem to find one.

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
A wire brush and a little POR15 and now I need to put these bad boys on. Thanks to the person who helped me get the other side.

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
Had surgery on my wrist about 3 weeks ago and haven't really done much. Put the logo on the door and rusted the door today. Threw some plywood in the bed. Going to use it as a Halloween prop on Thursday.

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
In my opinion tucking in the front bumper is one of the most worthwhile modifications one can make to our trucks. Kind of a chip foose thing....."should have come that way from the factory " haha.

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
Thanks!!!! I just need to rap up all the little electrical stuff to wire it. I had a ganglion cyst removed from my wrist and had no idea it would be so invasive.
16oz Peroxide, 2oz Vinegar, 1 tablespoon of salt in a spray bottle. Totally agree. I even dropped it a little. It is too far out there from the factory.

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.
Well wired up the front end. Headlights, turn signals, and horns. Also put some LED headlights with H4 bulbs on it. Next up the rear taillights and license plate lights. I need to take the driveline back off so hoping to do that this week because its an inch too long.
