Btw, here is what i worked on this past weekend. I wanted to try to match the paint on the body of the burb. I still need to do the hood.

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

Are you staying with the patina look?

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

Looking good .

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

For now, yes. I want to put this in nice paint at some point, but its for sure not in the budget now.

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

I understand that and patina is always cool!

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

Fake patina...love it or hate it, at least it maches the rest of the truck.

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

Looking Good.

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

Very creative and impressive build! Tagging along for the rest.

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

The fake (sun) bake looks better than most peoples attempt. I will probably do something similar to mine when the time comes...

Looks good

'69 Camaro hood vents. Picked these up at a swap meet yesterday. Had to buy the entire hood, but only used the vents. Anyone need a camaro SS hood with some rust and bondo?? Haha!

Great idea!

When you take this rig out you are going to have so many people scratching their head trying to figure out what all you have done to it ,great build .

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

Wow incredible build/swap? I just started a swap doing the same thing, except with a 47 ad and a Lincoln aviator. I'm hopeful now! Thanks for sharing!

Boy, I just happened to stumble upon this thread.... I just don't have the words for what I am seeing, so I will just say WOW.....

Thanks!!!

Finally back at it. A buddy is letting me use his shop (with a lift) so while im waiting on the funds for the engine rebuild, im going to work on all the little details. This weekend i detailed and painted the undercarriage. Dirty work for sure, but it sure is nice to do this standing up rather than on my back!

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

I remember doing my chassis last year, crawling around really reminded me that I was no longer a skinny kid.

Glad you can get on with other stuff in the mean time.

I am about to restart on my truck.

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

Good to hear you are back on it again.


(Both of you)

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

Looking forward to seeing progress on this one..

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
 

A lift is a huge help. Looking forward to the next updates.

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
