Re: The Burb a long time coming
 

Well here are the shots prior to body test fit

Flipped the picture for you. Looks good!

Re: The Burb a long time coming
 

thanks ... fingers crossed

Re: The Burb a long time coming
 

Here are some pictures of the body on the chassis

Re: The Burb a long time coming
 

And it on little 14" wheels for moving around the shop

Re: The Burb a long time coming
 

Now the question is ... do ya think I can get a 177 compressor and a Sniper EFI on top of it and still use a stock hood to hide it?

Re: The Burb a long time coming
 

I can't help you there, but it's looking good, that's for sure...:)

Re: The Burb a long time coming
 

Looks good !!!!

Re: The Burb a long time coming
 

Nice work!

Making serious progress!!

Re: The Burb a long time coming
 

Body mounts were off ... But Mo's took care of it ...now they need to work on trans and shaft tunnel it was a low and now needs to be cut and slightly modified so the yoke is clear and then get a "single" drive shaft made for it

Re: The Burb a long time coming
 

All settled in place but need some clearence Doug said he will make it a high hump and add just a little height to the stock raised portion down center

Re: The Burb a long time coming
 

Body and chassis seem very tight now and once the rear wood is installed the body movement thanks to the poly will be zero

Re: The Burb a long time coming
 

Super job. That crated chassis pic is one of my all time favorites on the board !

Re: The Burb a long time coming
 

Made one of the many big decisions on the project ... The Wheels
Going to run 20" all the way around and have chosen a BOZE wheel called "Traction" for the front and "Traction Concave" for the rear, now I need to decide on whether to color match or leave polished

Re: The Burb a long time coming
 

can't wait to get the 20" wheels on to see the stance better

14" wheels aren't doing it for me

Re: The Burb a long time coming
 

A Fresh slate ... with the wheels, smooth bumpers, mirrors and grille modes applied...

Re: The Burb a long time coming
 

Well it is time to get my ideas and vision visible for the build

And I have happened across a fantastic digital rendering specialist that I am sure has been used by others on this site ... considering his work

Give him your ideas and he quotes you off of that ...simple.

Re: The Burb a long time coming
 

bit by bit ...

Re: The Burb a long time coming
 

A good direction you are taking the Burb. Will look sweet!

Re: The Burb a long time coming
 

Okay ... here is the final vision of a mad man ... this is what we are aiming for

Re: The Burb a long time coming
 

Just let me wipe the suburban drool from my chin...

Re: The Burb a long time coming

Re: The Burb a long time coming

Re: The Burb a long time coming
 

WOW !!!! Its going to look pretty sweet when finished !!!!!

Re: The Burb a long time coming
 

Looks great

Re: The Burb a long time coming
 

Noice!!!!

Re: The Burb a long time coming
 

Now I need to find someone that does interior renderings, because, sad to say, Chad does not.

Re: The Burb a long time coming
 

Thanks ... I know that the wheels can make or break a good vehicle so it took some time considering I haven't seen many suburbans with these style wheels to compare

Re: The Burb a long time coming
 

Okay, ... here is the final mockup of my ideas for the Nav and A/C

Re: The Burb a long time coming
 

great build!

Re: The Burb a long time coming
 

What an awesome vision!
Hope y'all can nail that stance, because in the rendering it's perfect!

Re: The Burb a long time coming
 

Hey Kevin ... hows your wagon coming?

Re: The Burb a long time coming
 

Me too ... that is ride height

Figured I would get back with Chad to give me a dropped or more dropped raked version as well.

It is getting a Accuair so it will have 3 height settings plus parked and and down.

Re: The Burb a long time coming
 

meh..its been in my driveway halfway covered for the last 4 or 5 years :(

good thing is im getting the itch again... :smoke:

gonna strip the dash back down and paint it black since i left a rag with brake fluid on it and it ate up the paint lol


but also plan on pulling the carb..getting a holley and making my own exhaust that way i can at least drive it around some. once i get that stuff done ill be moving on to making the rear floor and finishing up the seats. :waah:

Re: The Burb a long time coming
 

I finally broke down ordered it ...

Re: The Burb a long time coming
 

just got the cowl hood hinges in from Self Made Fab...

Re: The Burb a long time coming
 

Ooo la la! Thats gonna be nice!!

Re: The Burb a long time coming
 

Swung by to discuss wheel well changes and got some pics ...

Re: The Burb a long time coming
 

So it seems we are having 1 off chassis to body issues once again, this time being the front inner wheel liners ...

I have a set of "Hill's Rods and Custom" drop style inner wheel well liners, but they won't fit this chassis without major mods which could make them weak so instead of cutting them up its time for a even more custom approach.

The Hills pieces fit a stock or porterbuilt set up, my body is lower on the frame by a few inches so I can't use them now.:waah:
