Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"

I got out in the garage again this weekend. I'm suppose to hear from Porterbuilt tomorrow on a completion date that they will hold to for the AD kits. I completed the cab corner repair. The driver side needed to be replaced and the passenger side just needed a small patch. I bought a replacement panel from Wheelwright restorations. It was a nice piece. This was time consuming to replace because there are a couple different piece that all fit together for strength. I was happy how it turned out. I took my time and really made sure the piece fit good before welding. Other than welding back in my seat riser and finishing a tranny tunnel 90% of my metal work will be done.

My wife also agreed to let me spend some of my work money on the burb. I'm going to start looking for an engine. Thinking about an LS. Kind of like the idea of a turbo....

Happy Labor day.......

Marc
