i guess i should have started this a while ago. i took apart a 38000mi perfect 71 c20 suburban like a fool! the only running, driving, cool rig we had. now they are all apart. it started with an interior freshen up and a 6" drop. then sms jerked me around for 5 months on seat fabric till i gave up and went with houndstooth and a color change.

custom c notch, and there has been a bunch of plug welding old holes and new rivets. had to lengthen the panhard frame bracket 3.5". tried to keep it stock looking. mufflers showed tonight, going to be a snake charmer tomorrow and run exhaust.

Re: the soccer mom

a week later and i'm exhausted! 2 1/4 with a 2" x over pipe. 31 butt joints. does any body sell duals for our trucks that have been lowered 6" +/-? hope to drop them at the jet coater next week, i'm not doing this again for a long time i hope. little riveting and grinding and the frame and suspension are headed to zink and powder.

Re: the soccer mom
That's a good deal including the epoxy. Definitely makes it worth it....and saves a TON of time on the sanding....and knowing what I had in supplies for just my cab (around 140) and time (about 25 hours if you count my brother in law's time) it's money well spent!!!
And you got to work on the exhaust while it was gone to move the project along faster! |
Re: the soccer mom
nice, looks like the same epoxy i sprayed mine with!
|
Re: the soccer mom
trying to get the body on the spinner by monday for a couple weeks while the under side is at powder. most of the interior is redone or new in boxes. got to get this done before our little summer is over.

Re: the soccer mom
