Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"

I wish I had a successful test fire to report.....but I don't. I'm closer. It sounds like it wants to fire off but something is not quote right. Not sure what the deal is. I will trouble shoot and I will call BP Automotive tomorrow to make sure I have it wired correctly....

I did make some progress on a design for a tranny cover. I didn't need a really tall one but it needed to be wide enough to mount my custom shift boot billet trim ring to. I will powder coated or paint the trim ring satin black at some point. I'm happy how it turned out. I started with a paper board template. Then I transferred to metal and bent it up (by hand). I just need to bend the top to match the radius of the sides and welded it up. This piece will be bolted to the floor and firewall. I will body work and paint this the satin color that my interior is painted. I figured it would be different than most plus it will aid in laying the carpet as I wont have to go up and over this cover..
