Re: 72 Suburban Started

Spent most of Saturday and Sunday working on the Suburban. When I got there Bud had already cleaned and painted the frame and started on the firewall. He used a hammertone paint and I wasn't sure how it would look on the frame but it looks very good.









A bunch of parts had come in, bag brackets. Front suspension rebuild kit.
A bunch of engine parts had been gathered together












The engine itself, the intake and heads were torn down and a friend went over the heads and put in new seals and checked them out. The cylinder walls were in good shape and cleaned up and then the heads reinstalled with new head gaskets. A new oil pan has been ordered and the engine will get a coat of Chevy orange before going back in.
