Hellion Customs 1953 Chevy Suburban
Well like most of us, I too have a little bit of ADD when it comes to projects, so it looks like I will be building 2 "shop trucks" simultaneously. So bare with me these will be sorta slow but steady builds.
This one is a 1953 Chevy Suburban. We do not have all the details worked out just yet but as of right now we have decided it will be a four door with the rear doors being suicide (since it has some old damage to a quarter panel, then I might as well huh), full Porterbuilt suspension, 6.0L or 6.2L and a 6L80E or 6L90E, most likely Delmo's wheels, fully boxed chassis with custom crossmembers, black paint, full custom interior working off parts of a 59 Impala dash and will include lots of sheetmetal and fiberglass work, reworked tailgate, larger liftgate window opening, shaved hood center, reworked factory grill, smoothed and tucked bumpers, smooth running boards, ECT.... We are still working out details on the rendering. I will post up as soon as we can decide on wheels. Pics coming soon Last edited by Hellion Customs; 11-12-2013 at 03:20 PM. |

Re: Hellion Customs 1953 Chevy Suburban
Well I finally had a chance to make a little progress on the 53. I got all the fenders, hood, & doors off and lifted the body up off the frame and welded it to the body table so I can brace it all up and cut the floor out.

ADD? Remind me of what that is. Every time I go to look up the definition I get distracted by something.
