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

Well almost, been real busy working on a few cars...... not trucks so didn't know if i had anything to add the mix here... I still get questions once in a while about the suburban so that brings me back. Like now i got two questions yesterday but since i hadn't been on in a while the password would work so i had to do that all over again.. glad you noticed...

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

Did they ever sell it? I'm still saving money :)

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

Newfisher, no it's not sold...... as a matter of fact they emailed me last night telling me they are going to have it in the GNRS again this Jan. in a booth that sells white wall cleaner.....

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

Well deserved...in or out of the whitewall cleaner booth! The GNRS is a great achievement.

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

Great build, it,s nice to keep yur hand in and on the heart beat of America.

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

Thanks 350...... like the ad said "see the USA in a chevrolet"

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

Me too, but I'm still about $170,000.00 short of their asking price. :lol:

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

Don't feel bad Yewhi, i'm farther away than that...... I've told them to come down on he price some if they really want to sell it but so far no dice..... I do know for a fact they've turned down over 100k for it.. since i know how much is in it they could make a little money and almost no one does that now days....

Gorgeous burb. I feel like o saw this in Huntington beach years ago.


Partial to the color, we did a '48 merc woody that's very similar

Thanks glad you liked it.... HB maybe, they don't drive it much but do take it to a lot of shows... good guys, brother's,

Question about the wiring. Do you guys do your own or do you buy a kit and make it fit your application ??? My truck is much simpler than the burb but still not sure I want to do it myself. I rewired my old boat awhile back but it was little different.
thanks

We use kits.. the best is American Auto Wire, have used Painless, doesn't come with all the bells and whistle's that am.auto wire does but will get you by.. I know there are a lot of others on the market but if i can i would stick with AAW..
This truck was a '55 using Painless only because that's what the owner bought for us.. It came out nice..

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

That's a work of art right there. I have a lot of respect for guys that have the patience to wire good :)

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

Thanks, the bottom photo is how we started, the top two is how it ended up.. Ha

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

Very nice...well done.
I used your idea on page two where you cut the top of the door and pushed it in. Did the same thing and my gaps now on all doors are perfect.
Cant match you on interior but I did take a few tips and hope they work out.

Thanks for posting all the pics

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

Parkwood (wayne) is a good dude. He has been helping me out for years. The Suburban build he documented lead to my desire to build one.

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

This is a beautiful build and was one that led me to pull mine from the back of the shop to the front.

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

You're welcome, and glad they helped...... when i came on to that problem i didn't know what else to do.... the door didn't know i was cutting the crap out of it to make it fit.... we tried other doors in the back but they fit worse than the ones that came on it so we put them back on and just cut them to fit... if you hadn't seen the pictures you would never know..

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

Thanks, glad it help get the dust cleaned off.......
