I saw the burb at Brothers (I have a pic somewhere around here) and was blown away by the workmanship. What a cool story on the build, thanks for taking the time to share with us.

Thanks Dave, yes it feels good now that it's over. We kind of took our time up until the last year, the last 3 months was 7 days a week and close to 8/10 hours a day.. We had a date at the GNRS and we couldn't miss it... we surprised the owners with it 3 months early..

Bob glad you liked it, and glad you got to see it in persons, pictures don't really do it for any nice build.
The owners have it at the Goodguys show in Del Mar this Thanksgiving weekend.. hope they do good, but after winning it in April i doubt it'll get picked again....

Re: 1951 Suburban a 4 year project....

How did they do at Del Mar ??? I really wanted to go to that show but ended up staying home and doing homework instead :(

Re: 1951 Suburban a 4 year project....
 

Talked to the owners today and they didn't win anything (1st time) but they won builders choice back in april so don't think they were looking for anything this time out.. They had fun meeting some new people and checking out all the cars..
Sorry you missed it but you need to get an A in that class.. ha ha

Seems like no matter how long you have to do a project it always comes down to the last few days.:mm: Wish I could pay to have someone build my truck. I guess there's always the lottery.:metal: If I ever do win I'll have you build me a truck.;)

Re: 1951 Suburban a 4 year project....
 

Thanks Dave, i'll keep that in mind. you keep buying tickets and so will i, if i win big i'll buy you a truck....

Re: 1951 Suburban a 4 year project....

Re: 1951 Suburban a 4 year project....
 

Hey, I want in on that but I already have the truck! does more than one count?

Re: 1951 Suburban a 4 year project....
 

sean does that mean you're not disapointed it's not a truck?

Re: 1951 Suburban a 4 year project....
 

not disappointed one bit. It's pretty damn cool!

Re: 1951 Suburban a 4 year project....
 

nice work parkwood :D
interior fit and finish is exceptional

just re-read your build and relized i've never commented in your thread

Re: 1951 Suburban a 4 year project....
 

Thanks Ogre, good things come to them that wait my dad always said... glad you liked it enough to re-read it.. sometimes i'll go back and look at all the pictures and say to myself "what was it thinking"...

Re: 1951 Suburban a 4 year project....
 

Parkwood,

Its even nicer in person. Its a truely beautiful build and pictures don't do it justice.

Re: 1951 Suburban a 4 year project....
 

You're too kind Bam... looking forward to seeing you again on one of my trips to the south land...

Re: 1951 Suburban a 4 year project....
 

Parkwood, you are one hell of a metal worker, thanks for taking the time to post these pics up. Funny thing is I saw the Burb at last years brothers truck show and didn't even realize it until reading this thread tonight. I can still remember how good the interior smelled.

Re: 1951 Suburban a 4 year project....
 

Hey thanks sqrlnts,, I just saw it again at the LA Roadster Show a few weeks ago and opened the door and couldn't believe how nice it smelled now almost 3 years later.
The guys putting black leather in my coupe i'm building and I hope it smells as good...

Re: 1951 Suburban a 4 year project....
 

I'll never tire of seeing this 'burb. I'm seriously jealous of the owner and in person it is even more spectacular.
