For a heat shield for your airline up front I used pretty sure it was 5/8 rubber fuel line on the 1/2 airline. It works great for heat and vibration be sure to have a can of lube cause it is a tight fit Burb is absolutely beautiful keep it up

Been busy putting a lot of little things back together. The cool wire loom finally got here and I got all the wiring finished up, got my dash back together, transmission hump back on, the gas pedal put back in and I added in some door pin switches. Next I will probably get a brake booster and finish up the brakes. A couple of pictures from today.

Looks even better in person guys, very sweet suburban. Got to see it when I bought an radiator of off craigslist . When you opened the garage I was blown away .If it wasn't for the heat evaporating ,I would have drooled all over it.
Found a fellow member and got a nice show and a much needed part, turned out to be a pretty good start to the weekend. I will definitely be following your build.

I got the rest of my brake parts ordered this week. I decided to go with a hydro booster and I picked up a booster/master cylinder off a 2001 one ton van. It didnt have a proportioning valve with it so I got a wilwood adjustable one. I ordered braided front brake lines and a couple of other odd ball parts. I gotta head out of town tomorrow and I hope everything is here by the time I get back home.

I grabbed my back seat so I can get my air tank mocked up and figure out exactly how I am going to mount the battery. The tank fits perfect.



The seat foam is in pretty good shape, just need to get new vinyl for it.

[BB72CHEVKT]

I wish I had a full second row instead of three seats.

[blfuller123]

My dad was going to throw these door panels out so I snatched them up. They are in perfect shape. I painted them up to see how they will look. I plan on having them wrapped in vinyl and then doing the insert in the blue highlander material. I just need to find a rear set.

[blfuller123]

Got back in town and all my parts came in.

I may have to end up trimming up the slosh tub on the drivers side to use this booster and proportioning valve.

[blfuller123]

Got the bracket for the booster and got it mounted. I had to relocate the proportioning valve to the inboard side. If it were on the outboard side I would have to had to cut into the slosh tubs. I guess the only drawback to mounting it this way is the lines from the booster to the proportioning valve are going to be long. I clocked the booster so the pressure and return lines will be on the bottom.

wow! looks nice and clean man!

[Number98]

Looks really clean man....

[blfuller123]

Finally got all the plumbing done and the hydraulic lines made up so the brakes are now finished.

[NewType72]

Absolutely stunning under the hood and those door panels look amazing inside keep up the great progress.

Not sure if you are still looking but there is a set of Burb door panels on the parts board.

Thanks, I just picked them up.

Im about to get the highlander blue and white front and rear seat covers from Tim at Truck Seats.

[YBNORML]

No problem.

Tim's covers are very nice. I have two sets waiting to be installed.

[blfuller123]

I got to do a little while Im hme for the next couple of days.

I was originally thinking about using a v belt to drive the engine driven compressor like this.



But after trying to get a combo pulley with no luck, I decided to just add an idler pulley like this.



I ordered an idler pulley the other day and got it installed. I think its going to work like I want it.

[blfuller123]

I got my new door panels and they are in really good shape. I got new seat covers on the way. I was in the garage the other day and thought I saw a mouse...cant have that with me starting the interior. Took a couple of days but I got him.
