Why does everyone have to mention the "roof" as being soooo big.. I mean--if we tell ourselves that it's small--then it's small. But, if there's the voice of reason in the room sayin it's big--it's depressing!!! :-) Luckily--aside from the forehead of the roof on mine--it's nice and smooth.. thankfully.. |

Re: 66 suburban aka the sub
picked up the rest of the front end fenders and grill surround, these new parts are kinda cheesy but i guess they will have to do.

Re: 66 suburban aka the sub
Great find on the NOS taillight lenses. I lucked out the same in the late '90's in Phoenix. Found a left and right in the original boxes at Pioneer Classic Autos. Keeping them in a gun safe for right now. On another subject, what diameter is your driveshaft? I'm going to be going to a 1 piece on my Sub, when I change to a TH400.
Keep up the great work! |
