Re: 1949 Chevrolet 3100 - V8 Prototype
And since I'm 1/1000th Italian, I figured a spaghetti nightmare was just what the doctor ordered for wiring. But actually, it's a 12 circuit universal kit and is all this little buggy needs. The column is a Speedway Motors tilt (meaning, a cheaper Ididit) and the wheel is a repro 1940 Ford. I wanted a tilt function but didn't want something too shiney and nice. This will get painted with the interior, and the wheel is a period correct, factory look. To make the column appear like it still has the three-on-the-tree look, I'll reuse the stock style shift lever. I know! So many worthless ideas. And now into the engine bay. All 6cyl Chevy motors in the trucks were Grey. I think the only ones Blue were the power glide models according to VCCA site. So, I figured a grey motor to mimic the 6cyl ones was the way to go! More detailing on that later. I have a few more tricks up my sleeve. Interior all wired up and ready to go! And I thought about the spare and came across a pattern to use for the fender mounted spare. My fenders are reallly solidw with no rust. So I'll fix that and take the plasma cutter to it!
