I've been looking at Raceline - Element or Forgeline - Grudge for mine. I would have the centers colour matched to my future charcoal grey interior colour. Thinking of doing a 20x9 and 20x12 so I can get some decent sidewall. My current 22' transits have baindaid tires and are just temporary for now. I wouldnt want that small of a tire on billets! |

So I worked on a couple projects this weekend. I purchased an airbrush a week ago to add detail to further distress the paint. It has been over 20yrs since I last picked up an airbrush. I added shading and water rust marks. I also added this bottle opener to the rear. The slick thing is there is a magnet behind the panel that catches the bottle cap from hitting the ground.
The rear fenders are done. I matte cleared them after adding the detail. To add some perspective. The last pic (passenger side rear fender) was dark green when I got it. It you look at the early pics in this forum to can see how bad it contrasted. I had a good Fathers day working on the truck and eating good grilled food with the family. Marc |

Looking good! The people need a video of this bottle opener and magnet in action :metal: Throw it at the bottom of your list...possibly even include it in a slow mo burn out video with someone opening a bottle on the back and then a thumbs up and smile after the black exclamation marks are on the ground...I don't know. Maybe I'm just dreaming :lol:

As part of keeping with my rusty on top and finished on the bottom side. I deiced to work on the running boards. These are original running boards and in incredible shape. At first I planned to sandblast the bottom side before painting with rust guard paint followed by coating it all in raptor liner like the rest. After seeing it was just surface scale I decided to wire wheel most of it and spot sandblast the brackets and hard to reach areas.

Nice...Jim

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
Wow, those running boards are mint! I had to replace all the hat channel supports and mounting locations on mine.

Pretty productive weekend. I got the last of the sheet metal coated on the backside with Raptor liner. I added it to the front fenders, the front splash pan and the running boards. Only the backside of the hood it next.
My friend Josh that is a fabricator at my friends hotrod shop came over Sunday to lend a hand. He as been helping me fab an exhaust system out of 2.5" SS with Hooker Blackheart mufflers. We also set my pinon angle to verify clearances of the drive shaft to the exhaust. He has just about got the more difficult part handled. He fits onsite and welds at the shop....Comes back and repeats the process. Once the exhaust is done I will drop the body back on... I will get some pics of the Raptor Lined body parts. Marc |
Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
