Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
I've had this coil mount for a bit. Basically it simulates the look of a distributor. I have seen several on the internet and everyone keeps it a secret as to where they got them. I found this one from a small fab shop. I don't recall the name off hand but I have it in my email. He was cheap and offered great service. I also purchased vintage looking plug wires. These are black with green tracers. I think they will offer nice contrast....I'm not 100% sure this will clear the firewall but I have my fingers crossed. I didn't have this when I had the mock up block mounted

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
Any more photos of your coil mounts? Do they attach to the bolts on the valley cover?

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
I've been working on somebody work and paint. I had some metal patch panels that I put in a while back. I always had the idea of blending in the old rust with new rust....Over all I'm pretty happy with the results. I plan to add some detail with an air brush then treat it with flat clear. I know this is not everyone cup of tea but I didn't want a show paint job like my 48 had as I plan to drive this one more.....On to the pics.

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
This is a before and after of the splash pans. The rear pan was actually a bright orange color before I started screwing with it. I show a close up of the front splash pan. I basically extenuated the rust that was on the panel... The simulated rust has a texture to it and blends in with the actual rust...I'm getting closer to putting the body back on the frame for good.
Keep in mind the back side of each panel has been treated to raptor liner so it should be very durable. I don't think most people spend the time/money to make it look nice on the bottom side when It will look like a rusted finish on top. For me, I wanted the bottom side of be really nice so if I ever wanted to put a shiny paint job on it I would not have to take the body off of the frame (which is a pain with Suburbans). Marc

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
Thanks guys, I'm looking forward to dropping the body back on. We are working on a custom SS exhaust system and then I should be good to drop on the body.
Marc

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
Thanks.. Would you believe it was done all with spray bomb....There was a thread on the 66 section about Faux-tina that I stole from. I also have a large reference file of pics of real patina to act as a guide as to how it normally looks on a Suburban....
It should look better once, I hit it with a 3M pad and flat clear it. Marc
