In this thread you will see a brief break down of a few key stages in the build of my 1952 Chevrolet 3100.

I have always been kind of crazy about classic cars. my first real classic was a beautiful 72' ford capri (Tawny gold, amazing condition) I had her for a couple of years an was bitten by the bug in a big way. I had always had it in my head one day i would like to have a "refurb/project" car. As it was however the capri was in such beautiful original condition, it would have been a bit of a crime to mess around with her. In spring of 2013 i made the hard decision to sell her on (albeit for a lot more than i originally paid which helped soften the blow!)

I absolutely love american muscle cars. One of the things that had always drawn me to the capri is that it was one of the more 'american looking' classics that weren't impossible to find/crazily expensive in this country (UK) I had fallen in love with the 3100's years before and After much umming and ahhhing I finally decided this was the next model i wanted to go for.

In may 2013 after a lot of shopping around i found a great company called farm fresh based in essex in the UK who specialised in importing american classics. Attached are a few pictures of when i first found her.
