i didnt specify and yes, it appears he is going to do 1/3 of the truck. Painter is a friend. I don't get caught up in paint prison. i do not specify, I drop off and a week or 2 later whatever needed to be done to match the quality of the build is done.

72freak · 11-13-2016, 05:59 AM

Back at home. Time for 5 lug 1/2 ton conversion!

David ,you have not changed much but your little girl sure has ,a young lady now .

72freak · 01-21-2017, 07:34 PM

Its back on the road! Planning on adding the lower trim and tinting the rear windows and I think I'm done.

**special-K** · 01-21-2017, 09:31 PM

Glad you got it back. Lookin' real good. I'm surprised your body man masked something as easy to remove as the lenses. Not that I'm a body man, but that's what I would do.

So, how do you like driving it compared to before?

That's a VERY good point and I have NOOOO idea why he did that?? The time down, price and personal relationship I have with him negates me questioning him though.

It drives and handles the same as before. We are having a heck of a time getting the brakes where I want them though. Almost every brake componentr is new and they are just not where they should be.

Hubscrub · 01-23-2017, 06:37 PM

awsome story, and cars the pic with your girl made me smile. I took a similar pic on my 85 the other day with my daughter she's 11 months.

72freak · 02-06-2017, 10:23 PM

A nice one from this weekend!

72freak · 05-06-2017, 10:15 PM

The old girl got some tint this week, Lower trim to follow soon.

LuckyScott · 05-07-2017, 10:21 AM

I just showed this post to my wife for the first time. She loved the photos and especially the two photos of you and your daughter.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but they are NEVER done.LOL

Maximus · 05-09-2017, 04:47 PM

Cool story, glad you found it! I am only in my 30's, but my father always talks about the cars he "let go" - I have been fortunate enough to be able to store haulted projects for a later date, and havent had to have any "sold it" regrets yet...

Hey,
What are you running for a fuel tank in the Model A Sedan? I ended up settling on the saddle tanks since I am not going EFI, but always curious what others decide to use...

The saddle tanks are a pain. I've had them and will never do it it again. My Tudor has a 32 style tank and the 5 window has a fuel cell on the trunk.

Trim going on.....SLOWLY!

The suburban round 2 looks awesome! I really like the 2 pics of you and your daughter. My daughter is 6. I'm not ready for her to be the age of your daughter. I really dig your pre war cars. Do you have any threads on here of any of them? Here's my 40 Ford I'm doing a frame off on.

This is so awesome so glad you got her back

It never crossed my mind to try CP200s on one of these trucks, those look great on the burb! Tire and rim size?? 2.5 - 4 drop is done?

THANK YOU! I bought a truck years ago just for those vintage wheels! Painted the centers and have run them on several vehicles. 15 x 8 I think. 30/9.50 on back and i think 245 up front. The burb is a C2500 with 3/4 ton to 5 lug 2.5 drop spindles and a stock 1/2 ton set of rear springs. I bought 4" drop rear Suburban springs and they dropped it about 8" so we backed up and punted.
