Re: neverfinished's 52 chevy

Been quite a while since the last update but I have been slowing working on the truck.

I installed a new chrome grille and I love it. Really transformed the look of the front end although it was a pain in the @ss to install.





I blew up the old engine so I replaced it with a GM crate 350. I replaced pretty much everything under the hood with brand new parts.
New Edelbrock carb and intake manifold
New chrome alternator
New exhaust manifold
New distributor
New starter
New spark plugs and wires
New flexplate
New motor mounts
New K & N air filter
New chrome valve covers
New Optima yellow top battery

And I replaced the brake rotors and pads

It's running good and I have been daily driving it for the last 3 weeks with no issues.







Also added power steering and installed a new steering column and steering wheel. Had a RetroSound radio installed and added some of their kick panels along with some Kicker 6.5" speakers. New headliner and rear view mirror along with a new cigarette lighter that works.





From my office at work I can see people stopping and checking out my truck all the time. One of my favorite things to do is to take a pic of them taking a pic.
