Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

Thanks!

I got some fenders that I am going to make work. They are about 3 inches higher than the factory ones. I may try and use the bottom of the factory fenders combined with these and bring them up as far as I can to the brace under the window, and then I will just have to make up some kind of cover for the notch and bridge.

My tires went all of the way up and actually touched the brace under the window. I'm not sure what size wheels/tires you're going to run but just something to think about. Good work by the way!!

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

Thanks, I think I am going to do 20s in the front and 22s in the back, havent decided on a wheel yet.



Yea, I think using these fenders mated up with the factory ones will make it tall enough. What size tires are you running in the back?

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

My kids are in town this week and next week so I havent really had a chance to do any work. I went by the shop today and dad got the firewall painted.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

I was originally thinking of doing the paint like this:


But after seeing this, I think this may be it.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

I like the second one, but without the white below the trim. Truck is lookin good! What blue is that?

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

Well, my wife likes the first one so I guess that is the winner. Think I will run the blue up to the bottom of the windows though.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

What about blue up to the body line then white the rest of the way?

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

I agree with the wife.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

:agree: I like the first one if the blue is under the drip rail and not around all the windows. But any way you paint it you know it will be sweet!:metal:

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

I'll have to agree with the wife as well. I really like the first one. Burb's comin along nicely. Keep up the good work.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

That looks familiar, and let me say, your wife has great taste, :metal:.

Yours looks awesome!!! Where did you get the luggage rack?

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

Uh uh.....:lol:

Thanks! If you decide to go with the truck upper trim let me know, I will put you in contact with someone at Mar-K. The rack came on the burb when I got it. It was a dealer add on. You can find them out there if you look around.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

I definately want the upper trim. Any help finding it would be great.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

Are u talking about the trim just below the windows or the center trim like the trucks?

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

The trim like the trucks had.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

Front doors forward are the same as the truck. Call Mar-K and ask for James. Tell him what you're doing and remind him of my suburban. He should have the other 3 pieces of trim.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

nice!

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

Looking awesome!!!

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

Im still finishing up the passanger side tub up.

I decided to get rid of all my SBC stuff and go big block. I just got a 454 and I think when it goes to the machine shop I am going to build it to a 496.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

NICE WORK! you are building a killer sub congrats

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

Thank you!

I almost got the front floor cleaned up ready for some spray in bedliner. Im going to get that finished before I paint the interior.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

looks good

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

I ordered some of the U-POL Raptor bed liner. I ordered the clear so I can mix the paint in with it so it will be the same color blue as the truck. Im going to try it out on the floor where the carpet goes. If I dont like it, it wont matter because it will be under carpet. If I do like the way it looks , I think I am going to do the cargo area with it.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban
 

interesting build.....subscribed!
