the soccer mom
 

i guess i should have started this a while ago. i took apart a 38000mi perfect 71 c20 suburban like a fool! the only running, driving, cool rig we had. now they are all apart. it started with an interior freshen up and a 6" drop. then sms jerked me around for 5 months on seat fabric till i gave up and went with houndstooth and a color change.

Re: the soccer mom
 

thanks guys, going to keep it a driver. shop tow rig and grocery getter. going to paint it med red 514 code with a white top. lower woodgrain mouldings. sharpie hooked me up with a factory bucket seat floor section and it is spot welded in. the body has been media blasted and is in black primer. trying to get the frame and suspension ready for powder. when it leaves the body will come back. oh yeah, wide white wall 10 plys!

Re: the soccer mom

Re: the soccer mom
 

Gotta keep an eye on this one!

What's your plans for suspension since your going to use it as a tow rig some?

Re: the soccer mom
 

some updates. nothing fits the 3/4 tons like the 1/2s

Re: the soccer mom
 

custom c notch, and there has been a bunch of plug welding old holes and new rivets. had to lengthen the panhard frame bracket 3.5". tried to keep it stock looking. mufflers showed tonight, going to be a snake charmer tomorrow and run exhaust.

Re: the soccer mom
 

super clean ....as usual

Re: the soccer mom
 

nice c-notch!

Re: the soccer mom
 

Once again, very cool build! That FI is sweet!

Re: the soccer mom
 

thanks! the efi was a score, got about 40 cents on the dollar in it. otherwise i would have kept the carb. try to get some pics up tonight.

Re: the soccer mom
 

love the factory look on all the mods!

Re: the soccer mom
 

home from the media blaster!

Re: the soccer mom
 

Nice, so they epoxy primed it?

Any surprises??? (hopefully not)

Re: the soccer mom
 

a week later and i'm exhausted! 2 1/4 with a 2" x over pipe. 31 butt joints. does any body sell duals for our trucks that have been lowered 6" +/-? hope to drop them at the jet coater next week, i'm not doing this again for a long time i hope. little riveting and grinding and the frame and suspension are headed to zink and powder.

Re: the soccer mom
 

media/ da with 80/ epoxy ,everything hood, fenders, doors for the 68, inside and out, top and bottom. $1300. they treat me good, i cant sand it for that!

Re: the soccer mom
 

That's a good deal including the epoxy. Definitely makes it worth it....and saves a TON of time on the sanding....and knowing what I had in supplies for just my cab (around 140) and time (about 25 hours if you count my brother in law's time) it's money well spent!!!

And you got to work on the exhaust while it was gone to move the project along faster!

Re: the soccer mom
 

nice, looks like the same epoxy i sprayed mine with!

Re: the soccer mom
 

trying to get the body on the spinner by monday for a couple weeks while the under side is at powder. most of the interior is redone or new in boxes. got to get this done before our little summer is over.

Re: the soccer mom
 

SWEET......i love me some updates !!

Re: the soccer mom
 

still leaning toward 514 med red/white top/lower woodgrain/nos roof rack/parchment 3row seating with white/black houndstooth inserts/ black carpet. still need headliner parts!!

Re: the soccer mom
 

Any pics of that rack to share?

This burb is going to be sweet when she is done.....

Re: the soccer mom
