Alright we spent two long days on the burb. Changed out a rusted panel on drivers side and finish the skinning on the pass door.That 1/8'' gap around the door didn't happen by accident neither. There was alot of welding,grinding pushing,pulling and cussing:lol: but I'm very happy with the end result.

Re: 66 suburban build
So you used panel bond to install the door skins?
That gap looks awesome.....there's just something about nice even gaps all around. |

Re: 66 suburban build
Quick question guys, when i got my burb the front cap wasn't on so I'm not sure on something. Since the burb has a rubber mount on the core support bracket and the truck don't. Does the core bolt directly to the bracket or is there a bushing that goes between?
|
Re: 66 suburban build
I dont know if mine was stock but mine had a large washer and then a thin rubber washer about1/4"thick hope this helps!

Re: 66 suburban build
It definitely gets a bushing of some sort; it's in the body bushing kits.

Re: 66 suburban build

Re: 66 suburban build
Nobby could you take a picture of where the pinch weld ends at the front of the rear wheelwell? Im rebuilding a 66 panel that was missing the bottom 3 inches of the body. I got a wheel well repair panel for a pickup but I have to fabricate the rest. Also if you could include a picture of how the 1/4 panel ends by the rear doors. Thanks. Iwsh I was making progress as fast as you. Your burb is looking good. Gord

Thanks for all the encouragement guys! It slowed down a little bit lately but it's about to pick up again. I'll take pics as requested soon. Bodys coming off this weekend so I can start on frame and start smoothing firewall and repair windshield overhang. Heres a couple pics, repaired upper drivers jam, floor work and skinning drivers door.
Later, Nobby |
Re: 66 suburban build

Re: 66 suburban build
Sweet Burb. I would love to have one some day. I've kinda slowed down on 67-72's and would like to get into 60-66 trucks, etc, plus I can't haul the whole family around at the car shows unless they are in the bed.

Re: 66 suburban build
