Check out this cool '51 Chevy 3100 we finished recently for a local couple. We took this truck from an actual biohazard to a great summer cruiser.

First, we sourced a GM Goodwrench 292 that had been purchased in 1989, partially disassembled and put into storage (thanks for the hand @peterpiperglass). That was mated to a @tremecperformance TKX 5 speed, a custom driveshaft from @actionmachineinc and a stock rear axle for a '66 C-10 with fresh brakes and e-brake cables.

The entire truck was pressure washed (thanks to @thomasmillller for doing the first, terrible day of it) soaked, washed again and rewashed multiple times. We went through many gallons of bleach, purple power, hydrogen peroxide and diesel for the pressure washer. Eventually we had a vehicle that didn't smell, even sitting in the hot sun.

The engine was dressed with a perfectly sized @holleyperformance 390 sitting on an @offenhauserco intake with modified Fenton style exhaust manifolds. A mechanical fan, a Napa alternator and an HEI distributor keep it all running smoothly. We fabricated a stainless steel Y pipe and hard lines on the engine too.

Every electrical item (except the dash fan and OE horn) was removed and replaced. We used a Classic Update kit from @american.autowire and gauges from @classic_instruments .

The front end got some normal service parts along with a power disc brake system to add some driver confidence.

We touched up some interior parts, a new seat cover, oak bedwood, exterior light housings, Holley Retrobrite headlights and LED rear bulbs behind the red glass lenses.

This classic truck has much more power now and is really fun to drive. It's not fancy but it's functional and didn't break the bank, which was a big part of this project.

The iBooster is so powerful that you can add it to many cars with factory brakes and get a great improvement in braking power. It's similar in power to a hydroboost setup but there is no hydraulic plumbing, just 3 wires to hook up. It also stays energized after the engine is off for additional safety.

The custom front lip for Babe's Monte Carlo is coming together. We'll be fabricating matching side skirts and bumper spats to pull the exterior look together. The stance is set by the Roadster Shop Spec chassis and the wheels are custom built by Rushforth.
