Thanks to all I have been so busy working on getting the garage ready I will have to take a moment to sit drink a beer and enjoy how everything looks then get to work on the suburban!

There are 2 pieces the back is solid the top is laser cut and there is a space between them so what I want to do is put some leds between the two pieces and have the outline of the suburban light up also the cut out that says the shop.I hope that makes sence.they actually scanned a photo of my suburban and converted it to a line drawing it is very detailed I think it is very cool!

Sick5 · 08-11-2014, 04:53 PM

hey thanks

I liked the subs before I like them even more now that I have one, it looks great flat out!!!

donthekawguy · 08-12-2014, 08:19 PM

I really like the lights in the walls. My uncle used to paint a lot of cars and had that kind of set up. I wish I got along with him I need a lot of bodywork. lol

gostranger · 08-13-2014, 05:42 AM

Thanks donthekawguy!!!! the lights in the walls make a huge difference when working even if you don't do paint and body work also they are easy to put up. every one that has come into the garage comments on how bright the lighting is.

gostranger · 08-13-2014, 05:49 AM

some progress fitted my seats they look good 07 dodge ram seats and in the second picture the height is what I am looking for no headrests

piratexpress1369a · 08-13-2014, 08:48 AM

I will but they will be very basic I was surprised that the height is almost perfect!

Burbsco · 09-01-2014, 09:28 PM

I can't tell for sure, but it appears as if you have the window locks for the rear sliders installed...are they the originals or did you find them somewhere? i am in the throes of doing a resto-mod on a '65 as well and one of the sliders was missing the locks when i picked it up. thanks and your burb looks incredible!

**Captainfab** · 09-02-2014, 02:50 AM

The Burb slider latches are not reproduced, and it is hard to find originals. And when you do find them they are $$$. I believe there are some in the '60-'66 classifieds here on the forum.

I see you're over in Spokane, I'm in CDA

hey captain fab...yeah, in spokane--thanks for the response on the window latches. i'm thinking i may have to have them machined from some billet stock. i'll hit you up in a private message.
