We have started fitting the front sheet metal back on and are finding a few areas that need massaging.
Right off the bat, the blower belt was against the fans/radiator (first pic). My son worked on the rad support and opened it up to allow the rad to slide forward over an inch...plenty of clearance now. We'll rework the mounts and should be good to go! |

Got the upper/lower radiator mounts reworked and fit in...locks it in nicely. Also got the fuel regulator mounted and all the lines ran.

Built the PS pump mount...made a upside down cradle that captures the modified PSC pump and allowed us to move the pivot point out to where we could optimize the limited amount of adjustment space we had.

We made some down bars for the engine bay to help stiffen up the chassis...bolts in between the top of the frame up front and the upper corners of the firewall. Tubes come off mating plates on the inner firewall and are welded into the a-pillar/dash bar nodes.
|
Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
Nice work on the tubes

We've been putting this next step off, but decided to jump into it tonight.
Cutting the hood! My son picked up a spare hood for a practice cut/fit...we laid out a basic rectangular hole that looked like it should clear...and it did, but not exactly what we wanted. That allowed us to gain some confidence in our technique and pattern before cutting the original hood. |

We modified the hole layout a bit and started cutting into the original, stock, patina matching hood...no pressure there!
It all worked out though, no problems and we really like the look. |

Re: Our "What are we going to do?" 66 Suburban Build
You guys are doing some very nice work. Any tin work planned for the console?
