Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

This is one sweet burb ,you're doing an awesome job. I like every single thing you've done on it so far, keep it up.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

Thanks a ton! I really appreciate it. I've worked pretty hard on it and its nice to hear the compliments.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

Well I drove the beast for its first "longer than around the block" ride today. Everything went really well. I had a plug wire pop off but other than that, it was perfect. I brought to the carwash that our Chief selects were doing as a fundraiser and had them wash it. I put it on the ground and hung out for a little while. I had two seperate professional photographers make quick u-turns when they saw it to take pictures. That was one of the best feelings ever for me. I'll post them when they email them to me.

COOL...congratulations !!

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

can't wait to see it....how's it ride?

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

It rides very nice. I need to do some work on the camber/toe in/alignment still. My friend runs the auto hobby shop on the base so I'm going to see if he can open it up for me tomorrow so I can use all of their cool equipment to do it. I'll probably put it up on the lift and check a bunch of bolts too. I just noticed a drip off of the master cylinder so i need to fix that today also. Other than the drip from the master cylinder (which is inside the cab) there are no leaks from anything...so far.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

This thing has really come together man! Looks great!

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

Man! Just caught up on the build. You did an awesome job. Hope to get to see before you leave. Good job!

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

Wow!

Very cool Suburban.

I have a question for you....

I also bought the Scott's Hotrod indash master cylinder/booster setup. How hard was it to install and route the brake lines? Didn't see any pictures of that part in the build.

Thanks for sharing your build with us. I looks killer!

Hope to get my 4x4 body work done one of these days!

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

I'll try to snap some pics tomorrow of how I did the brake lines. The best decision I made was tossing the master cylinder that he sell onto my shelf for a future project and i ordered the universal Corvette master cylinder from speedway. Its the same thing but it has ports on both sides of the master cylinder which gave me more options for what I could do with the lines. I didn't really have any room between the firewall and the master cylinder to do anything.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

Got the beast aligned today and snapped a couple pictures on the ride home. Here is a short video clip to prove it moves on its own...:lol:

I really wish I could but I don't think I'll make it. This week has been pretty crappy and I need to work late. Hopefully we can get together at another event before you go.
