Re: 72 Suburban Build
I would love to do that. Maybe later. I think if I spend anymore money on it I'm going to have to change the title from "72 Suburban Build" to "The Bachelor Maker"...

Re: 72 Suburban Build
Do you have a place to work on it in San Diego? Can't wait to see it in person.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
Yes I do. I have a nice house with a 3 car garage off of Gopher Canyon in Vista.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
There is a pretty extensive street cruise up in Escondido weekly. It is a little far for me to go to being down here in east county but the Hot Rod Hauler guys go a lot. I have been having some driveshaft issues I need to work out but I might go this summer a couple of times.
Are you planning on driving the burban out or will it not be together in time? Mike Posted via Mobile Device

Re: 72 Suburban Build
I hope so too. I left the top fill spot there for now just in case it doesn't work out. If it works, I'll cut it out and patch it up later. I probably would've finished it all but it was 110 degrees today with the heat index. I was struggling.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
I feel you brother. It was about the same here. Kind of hard to come home and jump back out in the heat. I own an auto detail business so me and the guys are out in the heat all day long.
Keep it up man. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: 72 Suburban Build
I used to go to it every week before i joined the Navy. I had a 70 Camaro. As far as the Burb goes, it WILL be together. Not sure if I'm going to drive it across or not. We'll see. By the way, I love the white letters out on your truck.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
Finished the notch cover and got one of the fenders tacked up. Looking forward to finally getting my master cylinder/booster setup tomorrow.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
Not going to do anything with the body anytime soon. I'm going to get everything I have done and then drive the hell out of it for a couple years. My timeframe (going to sea soon) and budget won't support doing much to the body.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
This build is really going quick, Amazed that you are able to work, and keep up the pace on the build, while planning a move to S.D.!
Notch came out great, looks just about the way the factory would have designed it.

Unfortunately, I'm getting to the part the we ALL HATE...wiring. I need to wire the air system, ignition, fuel system, radiator fans, and I moved the battery to the back so you can throw that on the list. I want to make it look clean and hidden for the most part too. I'm a little intimidated by all of it right now.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
No ****! I had no worries whatsoever about hacking two huge sections of frame out when I put the notch in.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
Well not only was Scott's Hotrods 3.5 weeks late on getting me my stuff but when it finally got here they didn't even send all of the stuff I ordered. I had planned on having the brakes finished by the end of the weekend. So much for that. This makes 4 for 4 in companies not sending what I paid for. Never mind, Summit is the only place that has sent me what I ordered every time and on time.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
Let me guess...I should receive them in 4 weeks even though you'll tell me 5 days and I'll open the box and there will only be a passenger side fender. If that's how you're going to operate, you'll fit right in
