The time has come to base & clear the interior, back sides of doors, hood, and fenders. Decided on Volkswagon / BMW silver. PPG will be the product of choice.

Re: 71 GMC/Chevy Build
Wow man what can I say,,,, That's going to be one sweet suburban!!!! Can't wait to see it up close and personal. It's nice to have a fellow builder here in the valley,,, for some reason there's not too many guy's on here from the area, although there are a ton of these old trucks running around here! Thanks for the motivation, keep up the good work!!!:chevy::gmc2:

Spent months with wiring project, exhaust system, AC system, and dash panel.
As you all know a big boost to any project is when you get to start the engine for the first time. Fired right up. Found I HATE the exhaust. 3/4 length headers with 2.5" pipe and Borla mufflers. Tail pipes exit in front of the rear tires. Switched to Hooker mufflers ( worse yet ) then on to 50 series Flowmasters. Much better. Now I can hear myself think. Ran the tail pipes to the rear. Now I have a funny popping sound under heavy throttle. Found I can get rid of this the further back I move the mufflers. I only had room to move them about 14". Did not seem like it would do much but what a difference. Getting ready to fab another system for my 80 K10. Trying the Magnaflow 6" round x 24". Dual 2.25" into a Y pipe then 3" into the muffler and on to the rear. Anxious to hear this set up. I will post photos on my other build site. Finished the Vintage Air. Lost 80% of my glove box. Fabbed a metal insert to house the ECM for the fuel injection as well as my CenTek fan control. Great place for my rear airbag controls also. Dash panel is for the most part complete. Had an extra B&M shifter laying around. Used it. It is now laying around more. Hated it as much as the Borla and Hooker mufflers. Now have a Lokar floor shift to operate the 700R4. |

Been a while. You know how it is, Work before pleasure. At any rate I have always liked the Ford F150 mirors so I thought I would give them a shot. Glad I did.
At first fit the angle of the dangle was incorrect so I had to fabricate from wood a couple of spacers. 12 degree seems to be the perfect angle so the mirrors set level. Machined some new bases from aluminum and all fit together fine. Good visability with enough mirror to see my Airstream behind and not to bulky as to be the first thing you see when one approches the truck. |

Beautiful project you have going!
