Beautiful,

NEWFISHER · 11-06-2013, 10:49 PM

Wow.....nice

**G&R's57GMC** · 11-06-2013, 10:51 PM

Is it SEMA already ! Sharp Burb

Love the hood ,grill & bumper mods

Interesting side glass treatment.

suxtobu65 · 11-06-2013, 11:15 PM

I like the way the hood is done. Sides molded to the fenders, Gives it the High fender look.. Smaller hood... Just sweet...

likaroc13 · 11-07-2013, 12:27 AM

Ha, I was about to post it but figured somebody had already beaten me to the punch.

Here's another pic from Facebook:

OARNGESI · 11-07-2013, 12:47 AM

looks great how is the interior?

1963chevyshort · 11-07-2013, 01:07 AM

That is a beautiful piece of art.

TJ's Chevy · 11-07-2013, 01:14 AM

Ooooh sharp!

LostMy65 · 11-07-2013, 07:39 AM

Is that a 67 grill?

**PGSigns** · 11-07-2013, 07:39 AM

Very nice. I like the way the bumper was done.

65Gregg · 11-07-2013, 10:17 AM

It looks like the planned 572 went through some changes, this thing is outrageous,!!!

apocalypse · 11-07-2013, 10:36 AM

That looks really sweet! Would love to see some interior pics as well.

63suburban · 11-07-2013, 11:01 AM

Very nice work. Here is an interior and side pic.

endlessearth · 11-07-2013, 11:07 AM

I love that interior.

likaroc13 · 11-07-2013, 11:57 AM

Wow, that interior is insane! Love that side shot too...it really "jumps" out at you

jonzcustomshop · 11-07-2013, 04:36 PM

I am surprised with my reaction on how this turned out....

likaroc13 · 11-07-2013, 10:05 PM

Couple more:

**Captainfab** · 11-08-2013, 01:47 AM

I'm liking it overall.....really like the outstanding bumper fitup, but I'm just undecided on the hood mod

chevyrestoguy · 11-08-2013, 10:12 AM

The Roadster Shops guys do some top-notch work. There is a ton of work in that Suburban. I like all of the body mods, even the hood. If the truck was a darker color, and the inner fenders were a darker color (like chassis black), I think that the people who don't care for the mod might like it more because it would disguise it a little better. You have to admit, it has a factory look to it, and for guys with big diameter wheels, it would sure solve a lot of the inner fender issues that they have with the stock configuration.

I can't even imagine how many man-hours they have in that thing, especially at the labor rates that some of the high-end shops charge. That's a Big Dollar truck.

hemifalcon · 12-23-2013, 09:32 PM

I'm kinda digging the flush-fit side windows.. Id like to see this in person..

Here's the build pictures from their site.

These guys do fine work, but I'll agree--the changes in the "face" is unappealing--but they generally tend to do something with the face and ass of all their cars.

**pdxhall** · 12-23-2013, 09:55 PM

It's a great looking truck with 1st class looks but personally I don't care for the headlights and grill. I just dont care for the squareness of it with the curves of the fenders, etc.

rusty76 · 12-23-2013, 10:38 PM

I like the interior. The hood mod is ok, it'll have to grow on me. Rest of it is ok. I've got thoughts on this one but that's just me....
