[Frizzle Fry]

Chizz! Can't wait to see it up close!

[CHIZZLER]

thanks guys.its all starting to come together.going back to work on it sunday.got the windshield today.going to try and get the front sheet metal to line up better.here are some old and new pis.enjoy.was hoping to make the rose city round up in june but its going to be tuff.we have a trip planned to italy in june to spend some time with family.post more pics sunday.

[fredscarryall]

man, your burban is sweet. i think the rose city round up will be the first show i will take slamburban to. it will be tough for me to hang my front sheet metal,wire it up,do exhaust and floor boards in time. hopefully we can meet up there. did you ever find a radiator.theres a shop in beaverton that has 450 horse all aluminium radiators for $150 and 750 horse for $225. let me know

[CHIZZLER]

hope to see your burb there.i talked to the guys at reliable radiator.they never seem to have anything in stock.im going to go with a champion radiator (e bay).nice build

[CHIZZLER]

well got some more work done today.got the front end together.got the windshield in.lots of small stuff.thanks

[fredscarryall]

front end look really nice.i like the black mustache and white grille combo. i sometimes wish i would have kept mine a gmc. it seems that the small stuff is the most time consuming. are you going to put in a front bumper filler or run without one. i put one on my last truck and for some strange reason all the kids kept walking on it. so on my suburban, i will put on fog lights and a licience plate bracket. maybe that will get them to stop.

[fredscarryall]

have you been able to do anything lately to your burban

[CHIZZLER]

Chizzler, came by to look a round and like what i saw.. now that you've made it this far is there anything you wish you would have done that you didn't...?? The shop looks great is it done by now?
The sub looked like it was in great shape when you found it and can't tell you how much that saved you... even though you did a lot of work on the frame / floor in the rear.
Let me know when you get on it would like to see some up dates

thanks parkwood.the shop is almost done.im going to start back on the burb very soon.my family took a vacation to italy and that really put a hurtin on the wallet.we set a goal in the begining to build a driver.look good (not perfect) with really good running gear.all scotts hot rod front ifs and 4 link.i went back and fourth with doing the s-10 swap but realized it wasnt for me.i wanted to leave the salmon color interior in tact.seats will get redone to stock.i got really lucky when i found this thing and nobody would believe what i paid.will post some new pics soon. chizzler/

[Fleet '66]

Nice work Chizzler! You made quick time on this build. I always liked the look of these "burbans' and panels and for that matter all the AD's. I'll have to find one of these for a project after I finish some of my other tasks.

[Rude Dude]

Beautiful Work on the Burb keep them coming!!

[yunkyarddog]

wow man..........pops and i got two 52's i would love to do a VISOR on my 3 window but have no idea of wut they are can you please give me some info (where they came, years and .......)well thanx

great build lookin forward to seeing it done keep it up

[CHIZZLER]

sure dog.they are called fulton visors.they came in many models. they repop them for about $500.you can find originals on e-bay for about $250 and up.the right one for your truck would be the 807 series.good luck.

[CHIZZLER]

there happens to be one on portland craigslist in the auto parts section.search visors.its in canby for $350.looks really nice.good luck
