Vehicle Story

The "Mjolnir" 1953 Chevy 3100 Muscle Truck made its debuted at the 2025 Sema Show!  Not an easy name to say (melluniaR) but those that know it, know its THORS Battle Hammer.  This Hammer like this truck was forged from steel. Tough but elegant.  Those that posses the Mjolnir, have the ultimate power.  That can be said about this Pro Touring monster.  With a short wheel base and awesome Art Morrison Chassis, the Power flows!  This power is provided my a GM Performance LS3 from Scoggin Dickey Performance and fed through a Bowler Performance Tremec 6 speed transmission... that's a lot of performance.  Custom louvered engine cover reflects the smooth rolled engine bay with minimalistic features. Other fine features are the full flush mount glass and windshield .  A big back glass from a 55-59 Chevy truck was grafted into the early gen 3100 to give it a completely new look.  The bed is inspired with an aluminum race truck style tonneau and matching wings, plus a nifty motorized trunk to haul some gear.  The fenders sport late 40's trim, while the one off running boards are molded for a super tight fit.  Other detailed items are the in house louvered tailgate, retractable license place and custom GRS LED taillights.  Paint finishes are Via BASF  code  PDM.   Finally, no hammer would be complete without a fine crafted leather strap...hence the beautiful handcrafted interior by John Miller in New London Ohio.  The Apex Root Beer leather was carefully wrapped around everything from the TMI Seats to the custom dash and awesome door panels. So much detail in a compact cab.  To make shifting fun, a Mini Mjolnir was machined at GRS for a powerful gear grabbing experience.  Be on the look out this Spring for your chance to see this one of a kind build!!!
