Assembled the front clip today and hooked up the lights. Its finally starting to look like a vehicle.

Re: New project : 72 Suburban
 

This is a killer build you've done some great work with the sheet metal. Makes me dread cutting into mine.

Re: New project : 72 Suburban
 

Thank you. It was a lot of fab work but really wasn't that bad. I'm just glad that part of the build is behind me LOL

Re: New project : 72 Suburban
 

Last week while on vacation the Suburban touched the ground for the first time in almost 10 months. Got to drive it for the first time. Runs and rides great! This week I'm just trying to wrap up a few minor things and Friday morning we are off to Good Guys in Columbus OH.

Re: New project : 72 Suburban
 

That's a good feeling, what do you have for springs in the front? Stance looks great

Re: New project : 72 Suburban
 

Here are some pics of the engine compartment

Re: New project : 72 Suburban
 

2 1/2 drop spindles from ECE with 2 inch drop springs from CPP

Re: New project : 72 Suburban
 

You and me both!

Re: New project : 72 Suburban
 

Looks amazing. Nice work!!

Re: New project : 72 Suburban
 

The trip to Good guys in Columbus was great ! Bad news is when I got home the trans was leaking and had to be pulled out and sent back to the shop. Turns out that the bushing behind the converter chipped off somehow and got so hot it welded itself to the snout of the converter and had to be removed with a puller. The shop installed a new pump, bushing, and converter. Installed the trans last Friday and all is well. Shifts good and NO LEAKS. Now I'm ready to go to the Rockabilly Ruckus this Saturday !! Hopefully the new build bugs are out of it for good (fingers crossed lol)

Re: New project : 72 Suburban
 

The Evil Twins at the Rockabilly Ruckus, Trumbull County Fairgrounds Cortland OH. Dads 68 C-10 and my 72 C-20 Suburban. Had a blast and I'm looking forward to going back next year

Classic Cruise In Car Show in downtown Cambridge OH today

Re: New project : 72 Suburban
 

Making a change in the engine compartment. Removed the Holley coil covers and opted for Billet Specialties LS Retro BBC valve cover adapters

Re: New project : 72 Suburban
 

Adapters with LS3 flat coils installed. BBC valve cover installed

Re: New project : 72 Suburban
 

Nice, it looks great

Re: New project : 72 Suburban
 

Very cool. I like that look much better!

Re: New project : 72 Suburban
 

Great looking build.

Re: New project : 72 Suburban
 

A few more pics of the valve cover install. Also added some plug wires to make people look twice at what it really is

Re: New project : 72 Suburban
 

Sneaky, really clean looking install

Re: New project : 72 Suburban
 

Thank you

Re: New project : 72 Suburban
 

Installed the new RTX series Dakota Digital Dash in the Suburban today.

Re: New project : 72 Suburban
 

That looks really good!

No problems with the install?

Re: New project : 72 Suburban
 

No problems at all. Most of my install was plug and play with a little wiring. The setup was a little confusing at first but once I figured out how to navigate the setup menu it was pretty easy
