Thanks Bryan. The wife and I were talking last night about trying to make it up for the show. We just need to take a good look at the calendar. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks Keith! I almost didn't go as the Suburban is not totally finished and I hate showing it like that. But at some point, you get tired of working on them and just want to drive them,

. It drove really well and everything worked as it should. I'm still working on the tune, but the drivability was good and I got around 15 mpg running around 75. I think that will go up as we have the tune somewhat rich. Other than that, I'm still working on the interior. My door panels are repainted and I received the restored Cheyenne door trim from CSM. I think it came our really well,

. Will get everything put on in the next couple of weeks as I wrap up the interior.

Was really wanting to check this thing out in person but I guess I got there after you had left Saturday.

Those interior panels look good!

Did an LED headlight install last night, it's really a night and day difference,

Got the idea for the lights from looking at boardmember JWALL's square build:

Rob, if you have any questions or need me to do anything please don't hesitate to ask.

**HO455** · 05-10-2017, 11:33 AM

Your panels look great. Those wood grain overlays can be a real pain to get just right. One more headliner question. I went to the box store and looked at FRP and it comes in two thicknesses. What thickness did you use?

Thanks. I didn't see 2 thicknesses, only a glossy and a satin color style. I purchased mine at Lowes.

I think it's one of these 2:

A picture is worth a thousand words. But I'd call it 1 1/2".

**Nobby** · 05-21-2017, 09:23 PM

Looks awesome man!!! I'm still on here stalking your build.

**Hart_Rod** · 05-20-2017, 07:29 PM

I have been working on the tune and cleaning up some small things. I redid my air intake tube, just need to powdercoat it black and I'll be done with that. I also got the rear door window regulators installed. Hopefully, I will have all of my door parts in next week so I can finish that part of the build.

ChuckDriver · 05-20-2017, 08:36 PM

Looks nice!

kehstr · 05-22-2017, 12:07 AM

is there a reason that you did not build an airbox like you did on your other builds?

I have my ECM mounted on the core support, so no room to do that this time.

**Dieselwrencher** · 05-22-2017, 03:47 PM

It is looking great! Those LED lights make a huge difference and are a lot more reliable than HID's too.

Thanks Diesel. I'm currently working on the tailgate trim install. I think it's really going to set everything off...

.

ajgriffin · 06-01-2017, 01:28 PM

Looking good Rob! I have a question for you. Did you install any AC for the rear of the Burb? I'm wondering if that's an option and how you did it. I've seen the factory version and it's uhh....interesting

I haven't seen any retro kits for the rear and I only have front air (VA GenIV unit). I insulated the crap out of everything and all of my glass is tinted. Hopefully, that will do the trick...

I keep forgetting you spent all that time swapping to "truck" taillights. That's going to look so cool with the trim and I bet *most* people will have no idea that's not how it's supposed to be

**lolife99** · 06-01-2017, 12:24 PM

That's going to look good!!!

**rgreathouse** · 06-09-2017, 08:33 PM

This thing looks great! are you planning on running upper trim? Ive wondered what the upper trim options would be for burbs?

Average Joe · 06-11-2017, 01:06 PM

You're correct, 99.9% won't have a clue, but we will,

Thanks! I will be running the truck trim on min. The Burbs have a factory upper trim, but it is in a different location than the truck trim. It's not reproduced and hard to find.
