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.

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?

Burb · 08-31-2018, 05:35 PM

... 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

Burb · 09-06-2018, 03:07 PM

... 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

Those are nice! ^^^^

Are they metal or fiberglass?

Burb · 09-08-2018, 06:38 PM

Yes ... fiberglass ... I figure if they can pass Rob's approval on one of his projects I would give them a try

Burb · 10-02-2018, 03:20 PM

okay got some pics in from Justin over @ Scott's

Bigdav160 · 10-02-2018, 04:48 PM

Wow, they're moving right along.

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!

Average Joe · 10-05-2018, 09:24 PM

Very nice!!

Burb · 10-18-2018, 05:25 PM

Burb · 11-29-2018, 10:20 PM

Here are some pictures of the body on the chassis

Burb · 11-29-2018, 10:22 PM

And it on little 14" wheels for moving around the shop

Burb · 11-29-2018, 10:26 PM

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?
