Finished up a battery mount this morning...bought and returned two different mounts before deciding it was going to be easier (and cheaper) to just make our own :lol:

My boy wants to run all the wiring :metal:, so it's going to sit like this until we can get back on it next weekend (OSU starting up Mon).

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
Looks great guys!! I am typically not a fan of a bunch of shine on a motor, but that is VERY tastefully done as is the core support with all of its goods. Very nice work!!

Spent the weekend running wires, chasing loose ends, and second guessing ourselves...but, at the end of it all...we fired the motor off!!

We swapped out the CPP drop springs for some LMC, HD, progressive rate, 3/4T, springs...we like these better (stock, LMC, and CPP together in second pic) Gives the burb the rake we were looking for and will handle people/loads much better.

We're still working down that list, but have crossed a few things off.
My son cleaned/painted the old hinges and the underside the hood before setting it back on with some new (shiny ;)) springs. Also test fit some kicker panel covers with speakers in them...gonna take a little bit of trimming to fit perfect but pretty close. We also finished running the brake lines, braided lines from master down to hard lines at the frame :metal: |

I pulled the rad hold down, support wings, and hood latch off a couple weeks ago to have them ceramic powder coated...I wanted to try and match them to the headers. They aren't quite as shiny as I would have liked, but do have the basic "aluminum" look I wanted.

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
my feeling about all those holes is that it makes it to busy in there. it over powers what else is there. just scroll the page down until it blocks it out the rad part. it defines the rest of the eng department more readily . that is just my opinion, it is your truck.
I think that it looked good in the crossmember work that your son did on his truck. ron |
Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
looks like it is coming together very well
