Re: My 1954 Chevy 3100 project

Haven't been on here for four years, but I'm glad I revisited today. Enjoyed your build very much. You have a tremendous amount of energy and stamina to put this together in the time frame. You will never starve. Keep on building!

Not sure man. Had a lot go wrong all at once. Motor and trans leak, stumbling/dying. Spent a lot of time earlier this year trying to figure it out but to no avail.

Re: My 1954 Chevy 3100 project

I spent some time today to make cup holders. I wanted to do something that I have ever seen before.. I bought some oil nos ac delco oil filters, gutted them and turned them into cup holders. I also want to make it so I can take them out of the truck to clean or, just get out of the way if I wanted to lay on the floor to work under the dash... so I made it so they can be removed in seconds without any tools. The pictures do make them look nearly as good as they do in person to the point where I almost didn’t want to share but I’ll post them anyway.

Nice, even turned my laptop on its side to take a good look. Sideways and upside down pics seem the norm on this site so no big deal.
