Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
Hey Marc, where did you source the valley cover or did you fab it yourself?

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
Hey Marc, I really like that motor/accessory color combo you're going with, and those tail lights are pretty awesome too! Great build man!

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
AJ..LSclassics has those oil fill valley covers...on mine I bored a hole in the stock cover and welded in a holley fill cap and bung..I really like the look of what Marc used though...
I may change mine out some day down the road..

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
I've seen the LS Classic ones, but their photos don't have the oil pressure sender in the back pictured so I thought it may have been from somewhere else.

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
We've got paint….I love how the color turned out. The first attempt the gloss was too shinny and I thought crap I choose the wrong color. We added more flattening agent and it looked like a totally different color. I'm so digging the way it looks. My painter is doing all of the other parts next. The seat frame and steering wheel will be the off white but a gloss clear to add contrast. I think the steering wheel is going to look very cool as its going to be 2 tone..
The nice thing about the Corona virus is I don't get grief for spending time in the garage. Here are some pics..

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
good led tails look like a hole in the universe, even the small stock led tails I get from bowtie bits are crazy bright. dont need a reverse light with your foot lightly on the brake pedal.
that color looks amazing!

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
Thanks....I have been playing around with brushed aluminum fasteners and I dig how this color looks next to the satin color. I think once it's all put together is should look pretty cool.
Marc

Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"
I picked up some more parts from the painter this weekend. I can say i'm really digging this color combo. The steering wheel is gloss clear and semi gloss clear to add some nice contrast.
I started to assemble more of the motor but a broken intake bolt slowed my progress. I can say I hate the Craftsman torque wrench I have.... More progress to come. My injectors have been sent out for a cleaning and the rest of my fittings show this week to complete my fuel lines up the intake. Thank you Marc
