Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

could you go ahead and send me some fender money ???? LOL

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

Let me guess...I should receive them in 4 weeks even though you'll tell me 5 days and I'll open the box and there will only be a passenger side fender. If that's how you're going to operate, you'll fit right in:lol::lol:. I'm just getting so frustrated man. This sh1t is getting old. I'm on a pretty tight time line and these people who I've given a pretty good chunk of money to are screwing me.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

I can so relate, we are in a "depressed" economy and yet you cannot purchase a product in a timely manner, nor get an honest/accurate time frame for delivery of goods PAID FOR in advance! Drives me crazy, I own my own business, and deal with this type of bs on a weekly basis....sure makes me appreciate the fine Customer Service that is out there.,...albeit to far and in between.
Vent on man, and you know the only way to impact business that do not follow through with their product or ship dates?!...cancel orders and do business elsewhere!
On a completely different rant....your 'Burb is gorgeous....exactly what I want to do suspension wise to mine!!

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

yes that bites !! the same run around i am getting from the people building my Tubz..!! i hope it come to an end pretty quick !!

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

The other thing that gets me is when they f-up and don't send me something that I paid for, they just ship it regular UPS ground. If I had a business, was way late on shipping something and left something out, you can bet your A$$ that I'd be sending that stuff next day air.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

Also, thanks for the compliments everyone. I really appreciate. It makes the long hours worth it.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

I (and I'm sure plenty others) also hope it comes to an end soon. I NEED SOME FENDERS!! I don't have time to try to make my own:lol:.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

Rear fenders are done. Now I need to make some frame for doors so there is access to the gas tank and battery/compressor.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

Nice work brother. You didn't happen to make an extra set did you? Lol

make it 3!

that came out great man...

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

Well I made the access panels today. Just trying to decide what I'm going to do to attach them.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

have you started the under dash mount pedal kit yet? I am wondering how it fits and what fab is required to get it in there. I purchased the CPP chrome sealed unit.... have not installed it but would like to clean up the fire wall when I finally get in there. Are you going to install the remote resiv for the master cyl?

Seems like we all have had issues with several companies, from forgetting to ship out the orders, to sending them incomplete, or making you wait stupid amounts of time.. waiting for the brown truck to pull up.... waiting... waiting.... waiting..... oh wait is that him?...... nope its the next door neighbors viagra shipment... oh well Ill keep waiting.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

Secure those panels with dzus fasteners.
Then carpet right over them.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

Well today was all about trying to make it a little cooler while working on the Burb. I bought a 36" 12,000cfm fan for the garage and moved the Burb into the garage. Its getting too hot to work on it outside in the sun. My Touareg has lost garage privileges for a few weeks.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

:haha: as it should be!!!! so what did ya get done today??

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

Well its not just any Touareg. It has a twin Turbo V10 diesel with right at 670 ft-lbs of torque. Its a BEAST!! As for the Burb, wiring is the name of the game this week. Today was spent coming up with a plan.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

Lol. I put mine in the garage a while back. My poor nova had been outside.... She's probably pissed. Lol. Oh well.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

If you're gonna get an import, get a diesel!!! I saw a Touareg towing a 26 foot enclosed car trailer up Ute Pass one day (VW race team going up to the Pikes Peak Race) It made me put my tail between my legs :lol: That's the one with no belts, right?

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

YUP! No belts at all.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

*peeps from behind the shrubs*

you wiring up your bag setup?

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

HECK NO MAN!!! You have no IDEA how many excuses I come up with to put off wiring:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:!!!! The worst part is, there's nobody else who is going to do it but me...and it HAS TO get done (really soon)!!

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

damn man, wish you were closer....would like to help you out....and get a closer look at your fine 'burb ;)

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

I'm moving to Vista in October. You'll definitely be able to see it!!!

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

saw that in an earlier post....will have to make it down that way to check it out...my former in-laws lived in Vista.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

The good-Jon has said he will refund my shipping and I received the part today.
The bad-You have to love the nice gouges in it and they still didn't send me everything! I ordered fittings with this and there are no fittings. I wish I could copy and paste my PM to show you all. Best of luck to anyone ordering from them.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

You could copy and paste it ;) ..............

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

So im gonna sub to this thread agian and hope my post does not get deleted agian..

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

qw:metal:
Don't feel bad...all of mine got deleted too. I'm not going to talk about it anymore. It'll just piss me off. Lets have all of the following posts pertain this this bada$$ suburban im building:metal::metal:

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

Wow, did not know a lot of posts were deleted, and I am all for talking about the amazing build going on here by bruin d.
I do not want to ruffle any feathers on the best automotive forum on the internet....but it concerns me that all discouraging comments (albeit I did not see them, and maybe it was warranted) posted were removed, hope it does not have anything to do with the Vendor being a site supporter...

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

No ones posts were deleted. The vendor related posts were moved to review and the op was informed. Back on topic.. any other site related questions should be in feedback and announcements or pmd to an admin.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/f...splay.php?f=26 all posts relating to reviews/deals are on the review board. It has nothing to do with them being site vendors. We don't allow vendors to rip people off/create bad deals and then cover it up. I get really ticked every time people accuse me of that. I have dropped more than one vendor whom does not meet our expectations in customer relations/product quality.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

Tell me you attacked the wiring like a possessed madman today?!?!

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

Pretty much. Air system is just about done. Next its on to the fans and fuel pump.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

pics?

did you use trailer wiring to wire up the valves? i used speaker wire and im thinking of switching it out with trailer wire and running weatherpack connectors to make it like a plug instead of crimping all the wires to a male/female

that means wiring it up twice!!

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

Actually Accuair has a pretty nice wiring harness/relay setup that I bought. It made things a little easier.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

Also, if you guys are interested in how the Scott's Hotrods situation has turned out, check it out under the review section. The owner (Justin) called me today and we talked for about 40 minutes. He's a good dude.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

Air system is all wired and fully operational!! Here is a video of it.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

Kick ass!

Makes me want to go outside and plumb mine. But I'd have to spray "Pam" down first, so I wouldn't stick to the concrete. 110 in the shade by the pool today. I'm happy looking at it from pool side, with a brew in hand!

Happy 4th guys!

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

are you using the e-level? or setting that up later?

Re: 72 Suburban Build
 

Not using the e-level. Budget wouldn't support it at this time.
