Re: '51 Bagged Suburban Build

Thanks for the update! Did you receive your rear seat? I was looking at them over on the other forum we are in.

Re: '51 Bagged Suburban Build

I need to mock up my 2nd and 3rd row seats to see about fitting a step notch. I also though about moving the mounting points of the 2nd and 3rd seat to make room for the notch cover.

It sure would be nice if you figured it out for the rest of us...ha ha just kidding.

Switching my rear clamshell light to dual filament for stop and tail.

Made up new felt grommet sleeves to account for the change in position of my foot pedal

titanium or Magnesium? For sparks or wear? I'm using angle iron on my scraper bars to replace easily.

Re: '51 Bagged Suburban Build

My favourite part of a Clamshell Suburban just got a little more fave. Modified a B-31 lamp to run as the original backup light would have with the addition of a magnifier lens.

Re: '51 Bagged Suburban Build

Two weeks off from work was mainly spent in the garage. Made a serious dent in the install of my Accuair.
Ran 3/8 stainless hard lines with Swagelok fittings all-round. AND the good people at AccuAir swapped over my VU4 manifold from the PTC to 1/4 inch threaded some two years after it was purchased!!! - Tell me another company that would do that?

Re: '51 Bagged Suburban Build

Wow. I've got a lot of catching up to do.

In short I have tried to tie up loose ends before darkness and winter hit me in my garage with no electricity. So that means anything ready to paint - gets paint, before trial fitting and wrapping up until it is needed again.

Re: '51 Bagged Suburban Build

The step notch cover has also received a coating before I devoted a huge amount of my time to fixing up the spare wheel well from a Datsun 280Z to act as a deluxe spare cover.

Pointless I know but what the heck.
