Have been lurking the last two years. Picked up a 52 3100 for $2k 3 years ago.
Rust free!!! Truck had a Dodge slant six in her. Goofy.
The PO had sprayed some kind of bedliner material which covered a lot of hidden cancer. Ended up frame off, media blasted the frame and body. Ended up with new floor pans, cab corners, cowl pieces, bed pieces, donor doors, and other misc small parts.
Spent two years in the body shop. Ended up painting her two tone. From the cab reveal down it is rootbeer brown. The cab and top half of the hood is champainge silver. Debadged and detrimmed.
Next added a Mustang II front end with discs, and 2" drop spindles. Next we had to install new rear springs, spring mounts and shock mounts, to lower the rear end.
Next came a fresh 383 stroker, Isky cam, Vortec heads, Eddy Manifold, Mallory ignition, and a Demon 750 carb. This coupled up to a beefed th350 tranny with a 2800 stall. Installed rear between rails gas tank, Dolphin gauges, had the bench seat upholstered in cream colored naugasoft. Totally rewired the truck.
Still lots of little details to finish up,
glass, door panels, bed wood, lights, dash stuff.
