Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.

I spent the last couple of days reading thru your build. Nice job. Envious of your skills. One question, and what I plan on doing with mine - how did you make the original fuel fill location disappear? There are very few posts showing pictures of the passenger side. You can almost see in post 157 that it is no longer there? Did I miss a post somewhere?

Thanks. It just takes patience. Setting small goals such as this week I am going to do the gas pedal. Next week the brake pedal. Don't go into it thinking it will be only a few weeks of work. I drew out a circle on some metal and cut it out and welded the old hole shut as far as the fuel filler. I welded it from the inside which seemed to work way better. I also use metal tape to hold it up there when I started welding.

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.

Ran into issues with the AC. Not really cooling all that great. I ended up putting a pusher fan on which seems to have helped. I may take it to a different shop as the first place I took it to doesn't really seem to know what they are doing. I have taken it back about 5-6 times now. I think its possible that it has a bad high pressure switch. I have lost faith in having this shop work on it. Its not that I have high standards but several bolts weren't even tightened under the hood and also the steering wheel was loose from when he swapped out the cruise control lever from the one I installed cause it was bad. I did do a few thing over the past few weeks. Put new AC vents in. Fixed and organized wiring under the dash(shop left it a mess). Replaced the LED flasher lights on the dash, shortened the glove box, tinted windows, added an air horn(really loud), put a hidden receiver hitch on it. Also hit a 1000 miles on the odometer this week.

Re: Starting a 52 Chevy 3100 Project.

Looks good. Looks like you modified the glove box depth with hot glue like I did on my 48 truck build. Vintage air now supplies a plastic shallow glove box with their AD kits.

No hot glue in AZ. It melts I used staples, super glue, and caulking. I looked for a shallow one but couldn't find one.

I actually like driving this thing more than my 69 Mustang. Drives and handles very smooth, is quiet, windows tinted, A/C and Heat and has cruise control. Is very comfortable.
