Now I have to strip all that $100/qt stuff off.
lessons learned...

I always hand it to a man that avoids saying, "That's Good Enough".

Nice going, smoknbarrels.

It's been five years since I've had the Suburban, I finally took it for a drive and put some miles on it after it's been sitting for fifteen years. I got the tranny shift linkage installed and adjusted the brakes on it today. The left front tire didn't look like it was gonna hold up so I didn't drive it far, I'm going to put a better tire on it tomorrow. I did find out the TH350 is healthy and shifted like it's supposed to, was glad it's working good. I can't try out the four wheel drive until I fix the hub knobs, gonna take awhile to find some new or used ones. The 454 is running like a top now, still have some exhaust leaks but that's an easy fix.

Did tons of patch work on the inner fenders basically taught mysel how to to the work. All the patches made from scratch took some time but they are done all the outer fender mounts were rotted out also remade reinforcement brackets, tore all the trim and badges off to check for rust I was happy to see none, next up is outer fender repair and tailgate.

Had the truck polished to remove the swirl marks and haze and even had the wheels completely polished... Earlier this week the wife surprised me with a new spray in bedliner .. It had a cheesy roll in bed liner but the shop removed it before they sprayed the new 1 ... Glad my wife likes my truck

Well the weather in Michigan was decent, not great but good enough. I have been pondering the thought of what is behind the aftermarket radio on my 72 since I have owned it. I could not take the suspense any longer and removed it. Nice surprise, no one hacked the hole.

I can't say the speaker holes in the door were so lucky. It looks like an angry beaver got a hold of it. Not to worry, the holes in the door will get new metal butt welded in soon.

I cannot wait for spring.

Today was an awesome day, drove my tuck around for the second time since I got it a week ago, got all the little things fixed and one quick rip, but today cruised around in the snow and just enjoyed it a lot.
