Find of the Day: Restomod 1949 Chevrolet 3100 pickup features period-correct hot rod engine build

While much of this modified 1949 Chevrolet 3100 pickup for sale on Hemmings.com uses fairly straightforward street rodding parts to modernize and get low, a few aspects of the build are fairly ambitious, starting with the five-window conversion and extending to the Stovebolt under the hood slathered with vintage go-fast parts. It all adds up to a vehicle that appears ready to log some miles in comfort and style - the exact point of a restomod. From the seller's description:
