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:

Re: The Burb a long time coming
 

I tried unsuccessfully to look it up, but I think Hill's has 2 versions of their inner fenders - slam and super slam. Maybe give them a call before you go full custom and see if you can swap them out. If not, someone will buy your current ones for sure so it isn't money wasted.

Re: The Burb a long time coming
 

Ya, I have been informed they no longer sell parts

Guess I will be selling some front tubs pretty soon and switching over to my other choice, Self Made Fab ... it was what I was looking at for a non-stock appearance, and they are metal and will allow for modification work with ease.

Re: The Burb a long time coming
 

some rack shots

Re: The Burb a long time coming
 

New GSI handles on the way.
Just need a solution for the rear hatch lift handle

Re: The Burb a long time coming
 

Looking for the creator of this and see if another is possible
