Truck is looking good! It looks like you found a good shop too, those guys know what they are doing, I can tell by the work so far and support bracing they are using..... Keep us updated.

And we are practically neighbors. There's a few other local Suburban guys so we'll have to plan a get together one day.

Maybe a Hill country run after its passed its 250 miles required QC test

Burb · 04-03-2018, 08:20 PM

... Need to make the call to Justin @ Scotts Hotrod and Chassis to get the final paperwork done so they can get started on building it.

Was happy to find someone to do what I want and can see my ideas.

**Hart_Rod** · 04-04-2018, 10:07 AM

Along for the ride....

.

**Advanced Design** · 04-05-2018, 10:03 PM

Cool build! Tagging along.

**mongocanfly** · 04-05-2018, 10:22 PM

that's gonna be a nice burb when finished....really like the fuel door idea!!!

Burb · 04-06-2018, 04:37 PM

Thanks ... was only wanting some subtle changes externally ... that only aficionados like us would say, "Hey Wait a Minute"

Gas filler relocation

Shaved Aerial

Shave the third door handle to give the illusion of a 2 door having the sides match.
Figured it would be better than adding a handle to the drivers side rear, maybe not as funny ... but better aesthetically

Then the final touch will be the ghost racing stripes painted over Tungsten Gray ... similar to the ones on my vet but reversing the color scheme

Burb · 04-06-2018, 04:51 PM

Chassis first ...

Wow looks great. I'm planning on putting mine on the rotisserie soon and will have to copy the bracing. Any shots of how the rotisserie arms attach to the shell? Also are they welding in the patches?

Burb · 04-08-2018, 12:28 PM

Here is a shot of the front firewall mounted on the support rail

Burb · 04-08-2018, 12:30 PM

Will have to look for some rear shots to see if I have any with detail

Burb · 04-08-2018, 12:33 PM

Though I did find on old photo of the Burb back in '96

Thanks for the picture. Did they weld in the cross bracing?

Burb · 04-10-2018, 01:15 PM

Ya as they were working in the door areas

Burb · 04-11-2018, 02:31 PM

Sweet! Another H-Town area Sub owner along for the ride! Also - I would like to hear about any get togethers the rest of you Sub owners have in mind - A Hill Country run would be awesome!

Burb · 06-04-2018, 11:29 AM

Hill Country run is required ...

Wife has family in Utopia, TX ...Pop. 252 Beautiful drive and scenery

But will have to wait

Burb · 06-04-2018, 11:37 AM

Justin over @ Scott's Hot Rods and Chassis said they are starting my chassis this month and would send some build pics.

I still can't believe we are building this thing ... from hey my truck needs some work to ...hey which year of SEMA is it going to make an appearance at.

Burb · 06-04-2018, 11:44 AM

Also came up with a new item to make the interior guy roll his eyes ...

Since I have been told by some that I am already committing sacrilege in so many ways on this project by cutting it and adding a Double Din, to setting the system up to run a FI on a lil twin screw on Flex Fuel ...

So I am now going to need a Overhead / Headliner Monitor POD ... cause the interior is going full out digital with a touch screen, minus the HDX, doors, seat and window switches.

I figure I am going I might as well go big.

**Ol Blue K20** · 06-07-2018, 11:05 AM

It's looking great. I'm gonna tag along
