53 Surburban "Family Truckster"

[youngrodder]

I figured while Doug had his family Christmas taking place on Sunday that I better get out in the garage and put some work in hopes to catch up to him on the suburban build off.

What I worked on today was the rear inner wheel tubs. The idea is to narrow and raise the tubs up slightly to increase the space for big rims/tires. I barrowed this approach from someone on FB with a Suburban build using an S-10 chassis.

First order of business was to cut the flange of the tubs and some other trimming to fit between the floor structure and body. I tacked the tubs in place. Then I used poster board to make a template for the metal that I will cut to close the gap between the tub and suburban side wall.

I feel pretty good about the direction/progress of this part of the build.
