Figured I'd start a new thread on this.

My daughter and son-in-law (who was instrumental in finding my '51 3100 8 years ago - OMG has it been that long?) bought me a 3100 model for Christmas, so I've been working on getting it put together and painted to match what my regular stovebolt will look like when done. My wife says I've been spending hours and hours on it (but I haven't told her how many hours I have in on the regular bolt. wink )

Eagle eye Stovebolters will see that the photo on the box isn't a '50, but a "51 because it has wing windows, but the contents were indeed '50 or earlier, as it didn't have wing windows and had a side cowl vent. My truck is a standard cab, and the model is a 5-window, so I installed the corner windows and smoothed over them with some spot putty. Did the same to the cowl side vent area. Also cut some wing windows out of clear plastic and installed them so it matches my big truck. I had all the paint for my regular bolt, so painted the parts with that (Interior, steering column, exterior). I custom mixed some maroon for the seats to match that.

Anyway, here's some pics of progress.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.
