Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
OK, I haven't had any shop time on the Suburban. Making up for that a bit is our annual MetalMeet event in Oblong, IL happening this week. Projects, classes, food and visiting with friends is a great time!

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Thanks guys. It is a good time with good people. I haven't picked up any tools yet thou probably will. English wheel shaping, classes, project progress and a leading seminar have been going on this morning. Guys are making fenders, patch panels, door skins, and flowers. I will try to throw some pictures up later.

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
One of the participants was modifying a 1950 GMC Suburban grill opening to house a 1952 Buick grill. It came out pretty nice.
The event is held at the Crawford County IL fairgrounds which offers a nice lake and camping spots / RV hook ups back in the trees.

Suburban is waiting patiently for me to get back on it. I followed Lower50's advice and ordered two tanks like he has. They are nice pieces that come with their own mounting brackets. Thanks Lower50's! Only other thing I've done is count the splines on the rear axle - 28 - for the center section. The growing grass is slowing down so might be able to get back on it soon.... |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
That custom grill was very slick. Most custom treatments look well lets say......more different than custom. I like that one though.
Get back on that Burb.. Marc
