Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
For now, yes. I want to put this in nice paint at some point, but its for sure not in the budget now.

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
The fake (sun) bake looks better than most peoples attempt. I will probably do something similar to mine when the time comes...
Looks good Marc

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
'69 Camaro hood vents. Picked these up at a swap meet yesterday. Had to buy the entire hood, but only used the vents. Anyone need a camaro SS hood with some rust and bondo?? Haha!

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
Wow incredible build/swap? I just started a swap doing the same thing, except with a 47 ad and a Lincoln aviator. I'm hopeful now! Thanks for sharing!

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
Finally back at it. A buddy is letting me use his shop (with a lift) so while im waiting on the funds for the engine rebuild, im going to work on all the little details. This weekend i detailed and painted the undercarriage. Dirty work for sure, but it sure is nice to do this standing up rather than on my back!
