Great to hear you'll be out this way in October, this is one I want to see in real life.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

I don`t know, I`d be more scared if the wires were all the same color. :lol:

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

So THAT's where the brake booster and MC are when I see a smooth firewall:lol: looking good Chief!!!

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

New home for the master cylinder reservoir.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

lol, i was thinking the same thing!

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

like in an airplane or helicopter :eek::m6:

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

looking sweet brother, keep up the good work

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

Looks good - hard to reach? How about a custom flip open panel on the inside driver fender (you have excellent skills so just throwing that out there).

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

Great idea...however, it needs to be higher than the top of the master cylinder in order for that pesky gravity thing to work.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

And we're SMOOTH!!! I have a tiny bit more sanding to do and it won't be 100% done until I get my new swivel ball column mount but it looks good now.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

nice!!!!!!!!!!

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

VERY NICE!
Where will the brake lines exit the inside of the cab/body?
I assume you have bulkhead fitting for this?

Love your burb!

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

Thanks! I have a bulkhead but I'm still trying to figure out if/where I'm going to put it.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

sweet

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

looking good man

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

Have you checked the hood clearance on that res? it looks close...

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

I'll modify as needed. I've got bigger problems than that right now...

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

Finished up the firewall (until my column gets here). I was going to get the drive train in but it doesn't look like that's going to happen. I don't think the motor mounts I was given will work. If its not one thing its 20 f-in others.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

I'm pretty sure that remote reservoir is gonna crash with the hood but I could be wrong? You may be able to notch the hood for it to clear as far as the motor goes it don't look like its anywhere even close to fitting.. Is the oil pan sitting on the rack? I'm assuming you do not have the trans cross member in and its no where near close enough to bolt up,but I could be wrong.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

I'll figure out the hood clearance when i get the hood back on. I am 100% on my own so putting the hood on and taking it off takes some planning ahead.
As far as the pan goes, I can slide a piece of paper between it and the rack right now. I don't have the tranny cross member in yet. Was going to going to try to do that today but ran into a big problem. After emailing Nate back and forth for the last hour or so, he thinks I have a SBC drop member. He has a jig made up (its happened before) to Fab up some different motor mounts .

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

Damn hope nate fixes you up right..

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

Sucks man. Always something ain't it. Mistakes happen but still sucks, you should be driving this baby by now. Hey it's only time and money right. Lol

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

I have NO DOUBT that Nate will whip up some new mounts in no time! He always takes care of me.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

I have had all KINDS of issues with parts man! I am curious, does everyone have this many issues or am I just "lucky"?

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

Id say youve been getting the crap end of the stick if ya know what I mean? I hope for your sanity that nothing more arises lol
