Good to see you back, Rob! I vote for taking the 'burb to NM mainly because I need more motivation for mine.

The crew cab looks great.

Thanks for the props! I may take the Burb out next May, if I can get it kinda close.

Lookin' good! These updates are too few and far between. Did the manifolds make it to you OK?

I've got everything setup so when I come home for Christmas I can put the chassis back together. Hopefully, the body will be ready to go back on the chassis and we can get it ready for paint. Manifolds arrived, thanks again.

Wow! That is going to be beautiful! Rob, I do not see how you do it. I wish I had 1/100th your talent! You are an inspiration. Nice work on the crew cab too. I stopped in tonight to take a look around. I have not been on here in a while. I have been hanging out over on hdforums.com since I bought my Harley Road King this past June. I just noticed that I appear in pink. I have been demoted from blue. Glad to see your great progress.

Glad to see you made it back Dean. Things have been slow since I moved out here to NM. Luckily I have a good friend who is a painter and has a nice shop that is filling in the slack from me being gone. I'm hoping to get the body back on the chassis during the holidays.....

You and me both!! I'm burning the candle from both ends and sometimes don't know if I'm coming or going. I'm in Navy and got transferred to ABQ in August. My oldest daughter is a senior in high school and we chose not to make her move during her senior year, soooooo I'm geo-baching until school's out next spring. I've gotten to go home about once a month, so I'm trying to get the Suburban back together as best I can.

The fire is lit, however, 1350 miles is keeping it at a low flicker, .

Todd got the bottom linered. If I can get the chassis back together in the next day or two, we can mount the body back on the chassis, .

As nice as yours is going to be when it's done, I'm sure it will be worth the wait.

No, it came out of the box like that (ECE). Disc brakes are looking good by the way, .

Thanks Jim. I didn't spend as much time on it as I've seen others do. I mainly wanted to fill the holes. I've seen others that look super slick when they add the missing piece on the passenger side and fill the gutter. I didn't do that because I'm just building a driver..............

Got the rear suspension in and test fitting my ECE SS tank. No I just need to redo the brake lines for the discs (thanks FF.......) and add my fuel lines ............and then on to the front.

Got some more done on the chassis. Front suspension is in. I also went to the hardware store and bought some brass fittings so I could replumbed the front airlines. I think they look a lot cleaner now and will be out of the way.
