Anyone know if this Suburban was built? It was called Project SOMAD.

Thanks

Jim

Thanks for the photos... Since it is being built I will have to find another tail light for my project. I can't wait to see this sub done.

These are avalanche taillights.

Thanks for the info. I thought I read it was going to use Titan tail lights with aftermarket lens. That explains the difference in the look.

Do you know what area of the country or shop or who was building it? I am really wanting to head in this direction with my '70, except i want 67-68 front sheet metal. I like the Titan lights and am currently looking for a bed to steal the sheet metal from.

Thanks

Jim

Thats Keef's old burban from Keef's rod and Custom. He sold it last year right after the Relaxed Atmosphere All Star Event in Millington, TN. His shop is located in Durant SM though. website is http://www.keefsrodncustom.com/. Keef does killer work on everything I have seen personally, and after I get the suspension in check I would love a paint job from the man. Only if the wife will let me spend the dough though....

Those taillights are to big, they look photoshopped.

I thought so too, but side by side the lines look the same but the light looks a little tilted (I used a fliped pic) so it might be.

I would like to see a pic from right behind it to see what they look like straight on. Looks like they kinda point inward to the center aslo..

The top of the opening looks straight/parallel w/ the window in the bear metal pic.

Nope, they are definately there

They are big, but yet still fit the flow of the body. Its not everyones tastes, but I digg it
