Thanks! I guess my perseverance (aka hard headedness....) is finally paying off

Thanks! Just trying to make a little progress every day. We were able to get the hood back on last night. The fits not perfect, but considering the entire front kit is aftermarket, it's not bad, especially for a driver, , !

Thanks! Here's a few shots with the hood on outside. The last picture is one of a truck that saw in a magazine and was kinda the inspiration for my Suburban.

It looks even better in the real picture. I like the wheels you ended up with compared to whats in the rendering.

Is the trim still happening or are you going to just leave the 2 tone paint?

The trim is definitely going on! It's been patiently waiting up in my attic for 8 or 9 years, but it will probably be the last thing I put on.

Currently working on installing the rest of the headliner. I'm adding a 2nd overhead light in the rear to help out on the lighting. Hopefully will have this done this week. I still need 3 nice plastic headliner bows if anyone has some stashed away.....

Thanks Doug. I'll keep looking, but for now I'm just going to paint the ones I have either a similar color to the FRP board or silver. I'm doing a couple of sample tests to see which one I like. Maybe I'll find some nice originals later.

It was a real nice day here yesterday, so while out data-logging I stopped and snapped some more pictures. I really love the way the colors pop out in the sun, !

Every time I look at this picture I can't get over how your layout of the color has made such an impact on how the body looks. I would almost swear you have a bunch of hidden body modifications.
Kudos on an excellent job!

Well...it's not totally done, . I still have a lot of small things to do. There is a lot of satisfaction in seeing a project through, however I wish it hadn't taken so long. And, there are a few things I would have done differently, but I suppose every project is like that.

It looks fantastic!!!! Bravo. Your build keeps me motivated!

The problem with taking soooo long to finish a vehicle is you have way too much time to think about changes. I unfortunately listened to the voices in my head when my vehicle was out of production and am now making all those changes. It will take a little bit longer but it will be just that much better!!!!
