I would advice against the clear as it would crack and peel. If you are worried about it peeling off, get you some 3m 94 brushable primer, it makes the woodgrain almost impossible to remove, and it dries clear. To condition it, use Pledge, or similar product.

DS Door... am I right??



These look right.


Or are they just sitting on there for the pic? If so then you are probably using the same piece for all the pics. But I am sure the rear door is shorter then the fronts.

They look really good on there either way.

Am I calling out each door correctly?

LowDough you got it right.

Thanks for the tips guys. I think I'm going to stay with the balck trim for simplicity.

Super secret update.... well just a tease....change is a coming.....

[CheyenneShop]

Dude, this thing looks friggen awesome! Paint turned out great. I agree - go with the black trim.

What is your plan with the tail light bezel? Just asking cause you took a picture and it looks like it may run into top trim?

Looks like black trim wins, . I am going with full trim. I've still got a few more surprises. Picking the wheels is probably going to be the hardest part.....

No rear a/c. Just going to insulate the heck out of it and hope the Vintage Gen IV unit can keep up with the FL heat. I'm not sure yet. I'll probably have the guy that did the seats do the headliner and carpet.

Well, I'm not sure about that, there are some great looking rides on here. Thanks you for the compliment.


As for the AccuAir install, I've got the compressor and tank mounted were I want it. No pictures, as I need to pick up some bolts and fittiings tomorrow to get it fully mounted. I did snap these pictures though and I'm totally digging the houndstooth, .

[hgs_notes]

Looking 4.0

[VA72C10]

Those really do look great....the houndstooth really works with the red and white....All black would have been nice too but not as nice as that

[big_al_71]

Rob, my question is how much patience do you have? Reason I ask is because one project is a pain and from what I see you three of them going at the same time even though the 68 is driveable?
You are a better man than me I deal with one at a time and I go nuts sometimes.. I am more into SWB but looking at your suburban, I tell you yours looks REALLY good!!!!

[mcbassin]

That burb is looking great! Man you are so close to being done it's hard to believe. You need to get out there and finish it up Dude!

[my67chevytruck]

Nice Burb Rob!
