From Eric:
Well, here it is! After two years and two months, I finally finished my 1954 Chevrolet 3100! I thought I could get it done in a year but I sure proved myself wrong!
I was 17 years old when I first got my truck, and here I am at 19 with a completed pickup!
When I first got my truck, it needed everything done to it. The motor was froze, no brakes, rust in the cab corners, interior was trashed, just sad looking! With a little determination and a lot of hard work, I was able to finish the job! About 95% of the work on this truck was done with my two hands. I did the mechanical work, electrical, body work, and even the paint thats on it!
A lot of people thought that I couldn't restore a truck. It sure was fun to prove them wrong! Boy, I'm ready to do it all over again! This time I would like to get a '52 Burb. Or a '47. Or a '51. Or a '53 or '49. Or a '54 or '48.
Thanks,
Eric Radak

Be sure to Read Eric's "The Hunt and the Kill" in our Features section. Eric's saga, and our future. At 17, Eric hunts down his first Stovebolt ... and learns the joys of hunting (and getting) his first Stovebolt -- well, actually several! And then there's his "creative financing" strategies ... pretty goot! Eric's got part two coming out (as soon as I can get it done!). ~~ Editor
