Restoration Chevrolet 3100

Hello together, since some have already helped me here and I read relatively little about my beloved car in the forum, I thought that I would create a thread and keep you running about the restoration. The passion for American cars used to work with me when I found deeper golfs embarrassing. Yes, I have to admit that I used to like it, but at some point you grow out and you don’t find it so cool when you have to see if you have to go to a parkha We can also really drive in or if you “stay hanging”. So at some point I happened to come across a Chevrolet Blazer K5, which I restored with a buddy. Since I wanted something of my own and more interesting for me at some point, we sold the Blazer and I looked for a pickup from the 50s. Actually it had done to me the Ford F100 and was my declared goal. But by chance I went to a Chevrolet 3100 Apache from 1955. with a strong engine and the front axle of the Camaro. If I’m honest, I fell in love with the car immediately and at the same time closed my eyes to reality. I thought that I could get there with 6-7000 Euro restoration costs. However, the price at the dealer was too high for me and I watched whether it would be cheaper over time. It was then actually reduced by 1000 Euro, but that was still too much for me. I then contacted the dealer and told him my price…he vehemently refused to accept it. After a few days, however, we were well suited to a price that was acceptable for both sides. It was obvious that the car was machined with spatula, and I also knew that the cab corner was through, as the paint has blown bubbles. An indication that what is rusted through. Having arrived at home I started to disassemble the car relatively quickly and I was already swollen, because it was becoming more and more apparent, which meant that much more rust is infested, as I thought at first. A few pictures of the car and the disassembly….
