Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait

Thanks Drifters! - If you are building a Suburban please consider a build thread...we can all learn from each other.

R46 - You are right, won't be going back with those big wheel tubs.

I put together mock ups of everyone's ideas. Great input guys! Jim and R46 are hitting on what would look good....mimic the wheel tubs on the side scaled down to cover the hole. Will see about making some or possibly using the tops of AD truck fenders cut down.....unless someone has some stock suburban wheel tubs for cheap?

Here are some of the ideas in rough draft stage -

Pic 1 - Bowl with rounded top to be cut down to right height.

Pic 2 - The half roll to be cut down to fit with flat sides.

Pic 3 - The half roll on its side to be cut to 2 inch height with a flat top.

Pic 4 - Square box that I initially have in mind.

Thanks for the thoughts and ideas guys.
