My new 51 project!
New to this forum and finally starting a project for myself went to Roanoke,VA and picked up a '51 chevy 3 window. Truck will be s10 frame swapped and bagged on accuair e-level, corvette disc brakes, GM performance Ls2 and T -56 6spd. Just gathering parts at this time so progress updates will be slow at first.

Perfect patina grille and vintage dr pepper cooler, got a Fulton visor and some nice Oklahoma rust free running boards on the way. Ebay is the arch enemy to my bank account!! Lol

Re: My new 51 project!
How much did the hydrodip on the intake run you?

@Root2812 I want to say it was around $300 I've had it finished for about a year now been covered up on engine stand. Here's another shot with the sun hitting on it.

Tailgate I picked up off of eBay, the tailgate that came with it didn't match. This one should be pretty close.

Re: My new 51 project!
The Dr Pepper cooler came with it? I have the twin to it.
|
Re: My new 51 project!
@63&64 bowties I purchased the cooler off ebay the only green one I could find to match close to my truck.

Got my Oklahoma rust free running boards in today, Midwest trucks get all the patina love. Hahaha
|
Re: My new 51 project!
Nice cooler. Must be nice to get parts like that in such good shape.
|
Re: My new 51 project!
@FarmerSid I have to admit I have run into some nice parts but I have paid top dollar for some as well but I guess it's a give and take game.
|
Re: My new 51 project!
Still better than aftermarket. I think I'd pay almost near aftermarket prices for good used original. Keep us up to date.
|
Re: My new 51 project!
@FarmerSid My thoughts exactly bro!

Re: My new 51 project!
Picked up some good bumper brackets last Saturday at the goodguys show in Charlotte,Nc. This weekend is gonna be a busy one S-10 tear down will begin!
|
Re: My new 51 project!
Been a busy past 2 weekends tore down the s10 chassis and cut off the original mounts. Pressure washed the chassis and cut out the spring pockets to make way for the airbags. Off to sandblasting this week.
