Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
I'm back on the 53....I have been busy selling parts from the LS motor that I didn't need to build some cash up. I have been working on getting my frame painted. Other than a few pieces that will be an accent color, I have the frame 90% painted. I went with a satin finish single stage urethane paint my friends that own the hotrod shop use on all of their builds. I like how it turned out. I have a few accent colors in mind for some of the other parts like the control and trailing arms.
Looking forward to some real progress over the summer. Marc

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
I picked up the last few piece from the painter. I'm pleased with how the accent color contrasts with the frame color and other components. I have been busy assembling and painting parts fort this frame. These are a few teaser pics for now. I will show a lot more in detail once I get it further along. Its so nice to assemble clean painted parts.
Marc

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
I have been spending quite a bit of time clean and painting parts so that I can further assembling my frame. I'm gaining.....I mounted the under floor brake booster and a Wilwood adjustable proportioning valve that I recently purchased. I might move it to the other side of the booster but I need to check clearances first. The one pic shows the trick brake line brackets that mount to me Porterbuilt upper control arms. I plan on going to a car show on Saturday at Lane Automotive and I intend to kill two birds with one stone to pick up the rest of the brake line and other fitting that I need. Its cool finally seeing some parts come off the shelf and onto the chassis...
Marc
