Exhaust looks great. I took your advice, from a couple months back, and I did mine the same way while you were on your travels. I just haven't cut the holes yet.

My son's first ride in the Burb on the way to his first car show. There was some nice stuff there. With a big block, noisy gear drive, and one chambered flowmasters he actually managed to fall asleep on the drive.

And finally...the trucks. The last one was the nicest I saw all day ;). The black one that my wife and son are in front of had a Hemi in it.

I started a double cab project before I stumbled into the Burb. And project was an understatement. Somehow the rust tripled during shipment..... Or my vision was distorted by the fact that I found a '60 DC for sale.

Needless to say, I sold it, before completing it, to help finance the Burb build. I'll see if I can find a pic or two.

Fabbed up the last piece for the rear floor. I ran out of light so i just tacked it in. I'll finish welding it tomorrow and then tackle the carpet.

I drove my new route to work today and it is 40 miles...one way. Needless to say the Big Block Burb isn't going to be my daily driver. Gas would kill me. So, I did what any good motor head would do. My father-in-law has had this Volvo sitting for the last 13 years with a bad motor. He said I could have it. The book came today. I'm thinking an LT or LS1 on a 700R4 or 4LXXE with some nice highway gears should put me around 22-26 MPG. Plus I would get the craziest looks when someone pulled up next to me in a rumbling Volvo.

I'd go with an LS motor for the Volvo. Should be a fun project.

I haven't had much time to get on here to update anything. Work takes up most of my time now. However, you'll all be happy to know, I have been driving the heck out of the Suburban. I took this picture this morning before I went into work. Hope you all have a Merry Christmas!!

Yes, that would be CVN-76 USS RONALD REAGAN which is where I'm stationed now.

Although having a white Christmas is cool (I used to live in Jersey), it is hard to find much to complain about winter here in So Cal.
