Thanks a ton! I really appreciate it. I've worked pretty hard on it and its nice to hear the compliments.

bruin_d · 08-13-2011, 03:10 PM

Well I drove the beast for its first "longer than around the block" ride today. Everything went really well. I had a plug wire pop off but other than that, it was perfect. I brought to the carwash that our Chief selects were doing as a fundraiser and had them wash it. I put it on the ground and hung out for a little while. I had two seperate professional photographers make quick u-turns when they saw it to take pictures. That was one of the best feelings ever for me. I'll post them when they email them to me.

COOL...congratulations !!

gcburdic · 08-13-2011, 04:32 PM

can't wait to see it....how's it ride?

bruin_d · 08-13-2011, 04:38 PM

It rides very nice. I need to do some work on the camber/toe in/alignment still. My friend runs the auto hobby shop on the base so I'm going to see if he can open it up for me tomorrow so I can use all of their cool equipment to do it. I'll probably put it up on the lift and check a bunch of bolts too. I just noticed a drip off of the master cylinder so i need to fix that today also. Other than the drip from the master cylinder (which is inside the cab) there are no leaks from anything...so far.

Man! Just caught up on the build. You did an awesome job. Hope to get to see before you leave. Good job!

C20-67_N_MO · 08-16-2011, 04:49 PM

Wow!

Very cool Suburban.

I have a question for you....

I also bought the Scott's Hotrod indash master cylinder/booster setup. How hard was it to install and route the brake lines? Didn't see any pictures of that part in the build.

Thanks for sharing your build with us. I looks killer!

Hope to get my 4x4 body work done one of these days!

I'll try to snap some pics tomorrow of how I did the brake lines. The best decision I made was tossing the master cylinder that he sell onto my shelf for a future project and i ordered the universal Corvette master cylinder from speedway. Its the same thing but it has ports on both sides of the master cylinder which gave me more options for what I could do with the lines. I didn't really have any room between the firewall and the master cylinder to do anything.

bruin_d · 08-17-2011, 06:10 PM

Got the beast aligned today and snapped a couple pictures on the ride home. Here is a short video clip to prove it moves on its own...

I really wish I could but I don't think I'll make it. This week has been pretty crappy and I need to work late. Hopefully we can get together at another event before you go.

bruin_d · 08-18-2011, 07:53 PM

Took the Burb to a little local car show. It was a HUGE hit! Lots of compliments and questions.
