To a really successful one Restomod project In addition to sufficient capital, it also takes time and patience to get on the wheels. However, you don't necessarily have to have a professional tuning company to implement such a project, but simply have fun and enjoy it Restoring and modifying from old cars. In this case it was four studentsshowing her dream of an old one Chevrolet 3100 pickup have realized, and with a tuning workshop called Custom Built Cars worked together to create the Chevy under professional guidance to be completely rebuilt. Now the finished work of art is waiting Barrett-Jackson (Lot # 1023) on a solvent oldie and restomod lover. Unfortunately, we are not yet aware of the planned price, but it should be in the mid five-digit range.

Show truck from the 1950s

It's hard to believe that students, under the guidance of professionals, have put the masterpiece on the wheels. This particular model was chosen because it works well as a Training object is suitable, and by its relatively simple technique, than Illustrative work and practice car for upcoming restomod professionals. The vehicle that in color Desert sage green foiled was, and about one brown interior is optically in perfect condition, and as we have already mentioned above, the students, together with the professionals from Custom Built Carsto bring their very special work of art onto the street, which they must have always dreamed of.

The front one Independent suspension comes from one Mustang II, during the rear part of the chassis probably from a newer Chevrolet Camaro. The exterior is pretty classic, with a big one chrome grill and Steel rimsthat fully reflect the style of the 1950s. We are pretty sure that the vehicle would be an absolute eye-catcher at any US car show, and that various cell phone cameras would be pulled out when the truck can be seen at such a meeting.

Classic interior.

The interior is very classic and contemporary restored, without that modern gimmicks and gadgets like one High-end sound system Arrived. Only digital instruments from Dolphin and a good working one Automatic climate control from Vintage Air found their way into the vintage truck. Navi and high-end sound systems are also not necessary in our opinion, because the rustic charm of the former workhorse is fully preserved, even if that saddle brown interior has been completely restored. A Wooden steering wheel with aluminum spokes was built into the pickup truck as the only tuning feature and is intended to provide a higher quality ambience.

6,2 liter LS3 V8 from the Camaro SS under the hood.

Unfortunately, we don't know whether the LS3-V8 is standard, or whether it has been upgraded with the help of a compressor or turbocharger. The driving performance of the truck should be breathtaking in every respect, since the engine is already over 450 HP and more than 600 Newton meters maximum torque generated. It would be advisable to use the pickup not to use on the quarter mile to the lawn, because it is far too valuable for that to be burned on the dragstrip.

Our conclusion on this Chevrolet 3100:

Madness on four wheels, which the inexperienced students together with the Restomod forge Custom Built Cars have created.
