Re: '60 GMC Suburban (Project D-Daddy)

I drove it today! A friend came over and helped me bleed the clutch and brakes. It took FOREVER to get the clutch to break free from the flywheel. I had to adjust the rod between the slave cylinder and clutch fork almost all the way out before I could build enough pressure to free the clutch. But it is all good now!

I drove it up and down the block a few times (still don't have brake lights or gas tank) but she crept right along nicely. I am not liking how low the gears are in the sm-420, so that might have to go in the near future.

Next up: fine tune the brakes, fix tail lights, get fuel tank cleaned, figure out other little electrical bugs and maybe some new shocks. Oh, and the exhaust needs some major attention.

Stay tuned....
