This 1946 Chevy 3100 pickup is an amazing top-level, multiple award-winning build performed to an exceptional level over a 3-year time frame by a master metalsmith who reworked every detail, including the one-off handcrafted acrylic hood. Underhood is a balanced and blueprinted 383 V-8 engine with all stainless hardware and every piece chromed or polished and producing 435 hp at 5,700 rpm. A 2014 Street Rodder magazine feature, this 2013 Ridler contender’s awards include the 2013 Detroit Autorama and 2013 Goodguys Nationals. The transmission is a Turbo 350 with Stage 1 shift kit. The frame is custom built with every piece of the underside and suspension painted, polished or chromed including over 80 stainless caps custom machined and polished to cover hardware underneath. The paint is pearlized Audi Daytona Gray which goes perfectly with the Flame Red and polished metal accents for a gorgeous and rich look. Even the inside of the custom lake-style headers are matching Flame Red. The steel 1946 body has a 4? chop, smoothed firewall and cowl vents, electric power tilt windshield, power windows, suicide doors, shaved door handles and hinges, custom fabricated steel bed with Pennsylvania Cherry wood floor, 3? louvered tail pan, flush mounted access doors in bed for gas and battery disconnect, custom emblems, one-off polished stainless grille and turn signals built into the frame under polished bezels. The custom Flame Red interior with Ostrich accents boasts a smoothed steel dash with Auto Meter gauges molded into the header, polished bomber seats, smoothed and painted center tunnel, and billet and chromed pieces throughout. The wheels are real Dayton wires with custom etched center caps and Excelsior tires. This is automotive artwork at its best and would be a great addition to any collection. 2013 Ridler Contender 2013 Detroit Autorama Class Winner 2013 Goodguys Nationals Class Winner 2014 Street Rodder Feature Truck Inquires: please feel free to email
