Re: The Burb a long time coming
No Worries so far, gaping is on point, even in bare metal and no rubber ... Next is the body/chassis test fit, with radiator support, hood and fenders. Just received some Poly body bushings from ESP and ordered the a set of custom inner wheel wells, hoping they will be done around the same time as the chassis so we can test fit on the new chassis in the next few weeks or so.

Re: The Burb a long time coming
Sweet, I've been thinking about pulling the trigger on repop body panels and doors for my burb. What company did you go with and how much did it run you?

Re: The Burb a long time coming
... Went straight to LMC for the doors paid $299 not cheap but they are the correct pieces the first time
luckily my 3rd door was ok to use as was my drop gate and I picked up a used rear hatch from this site for $250 + shipping

Re: The Burb a long time coming
... okay, chassis shipping this month
so I needed to get some things together for the next stage which is test fitting the body and chassis to see what needs to be addressed and to see where I can hide things on the frame Just got in the Energy Suspension Poly body mounts, made them for the suburban and also got a set of "slammed" inner fenders from Hill's Rod and Custom ... Thank you Curt

Re: The Burb a long time coming
Yes ... fiberglass ... I figure if they can pass Rob's approval on one of his projects I would give them a try

Man, you are doing some serious mods to that thing. As much as I like cutting, fitting, welding, and turning wrenches I don't think I would tackle something like that. Good job! LockDoc

Re: The Burb a long time coming
Now the question is ... do ya think I can get a 177 compressor and a Sniper EFI on top of it and still use a stock hood to hide it?
