Took the body to a buddies shop. He will media blast then coat the floors, fix the hacked dash, couple of rust spots on the window frame and do a firewall. He is very talented and does a lot of metal work.

Getting a little help to fast forward this a bit. I will focus on filling holes in the frame plus making the engine and trans pretty.

Looks good Doug. I confirmed that my pre-fabed x member wont work. Not surprised. I will have to check the rule book but I think bringing in a professional to work on your suburban might disqualify you from our competition.

Man you sure do have a lot of fancy tools... If my wife would just stop buying all those losing lottery tickets maybe I could have a couple myself. I ran 300 amp service to my house when I built it in hopes of doing a big shop out back but that never happened. You're doing a great job on that old thing..

Great progress, Doug! Looking forward to seeing more.

lower50's · 06-06-2016, 03:08 PM

Nice, kinda looks like a burb again. I'll vote for "bringing in a professional to work on your suburban" is ok, as long as it's not to do some major work. LOL

Just a side note, the 35 Master coupe I sold just over a year ago is on the road. Owner texted me this. I told him I changed my mind and would gladly refund his money.

That looks great!

Thanks, Doug. It is. It's a '69 essentially original (aside from what looks to be a decades old repaint and the addition of the awful aftermarket trim) swb medium olive/white top farm truck. It's pretty rusty down low but I'm planning to clean it up, redo the interior, go through the suspension, and drive it.

I love these old trucks!

lower50's · 06-07-2016, 03:38 PM

Slow and steady wins the turtle race. Or should I say Burb race.

RockinKees · 06-07-2016, 04:55 PM

Are you bringing it to Marc, Doug??

Been working on cleaning up garage and doing maintenance stuff around here so I haven't made any Burb progress. Luke has blasted the bottom and inside, primed, fixed the cut out places at the rear sides. I decided to scrap the 99R46 boxes and go for the cleaner look.

**Advanced Design** · 06-16-2016, 07:11 PM

Mark - These pic's are for you. If you need others please let me know.

**Advanced Design** · 06-16-2016, 07:16 PM

And the right side just in case you need those too.

PS - Those are not my feet in pic 4!

**oldman3** · 06-16-2016, 09:37 PM

I bet if we talk to Cindy, she will tell us you paint your toenails all the time

...Jim

**youngrodder** · 06-16-2016, 10:08 PM

The progress looks good Doug...
I also like the pics of the headers even if they were intended for the other Mark..

Marc

reaper71 · 06-17-2016, 09:58 AM

That's exactly what I needed Doug...Thank's

Mark...

He does. He's made some nice imporvements to that truck. Well worth the money in my opinion.

Love the new panels in the rear of the burb. Very sweet!

lower50's · 06-17-2016, 10:27 AM

Maybe someday I'll be in your neck of the woods.
I like your safety sandals!!

Ha, those are Cindy's! Only because we were only taking those pics and leaving. Usually I wear steel toe Red Wing boots. They saved my foot recently when I dropped a full size argon bottle on it.

RockinKees · 06-18-2016, 05:22 AM

Doug,
With all those social media things going on, you've made some progress.
Maybe you' ll end up in first place!!

rkn463 · 06-23-2016, 10:23 PM

Looking great Doug!
