Lou's 1953 Chevrolet 3100

This particular project has the 235 six cylinder engine with a Muncie 4 speed transmission.  It was sandblasted down to bare metal and started fresh. We primered all pieces bright red to enhance the final finish.  Many coats of clear have given it the deep finish.  Every panel was painted off of the truck and then assembled.  As you can see almost all of the chrome is new.  The lumber in the box has 6 coats of clear.  The steering wheel is color coordinated.  The underside and firewall have been coated in a product called lizard skin to help reduce heat and noise.  18x70 Detroit Steel wheels helped to center the white walled tires under the truck.  This project probably has about 1500 hours in it.
