Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban

You need to talk to James. He's the one that I worked with for the trim on my suburban. I'm pretty sure he told me that that made several sets.

If you get a set and get it installed before I get a scrap piece, can you let me know your results?

I'm sure you'll be ready before I am. I do not plan to put them on till i do paint in march/april, I have to put the air ride in and new drivetrain first. I hope to start that at christmas.

Your burb is looking great, I would love to go blue and white like you, but I do not have the cash to redo the interior to match. Love the aired out pic, cannot wait to see it done. I even like the dog dish look.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban

Ironically, i am also looking for this trim to redo mine before we go on the Hot Rod Power Tour. I emailed Mar-K and they actually directed me to this thread to talk with you guys. Is anybody doing this soon?

I will probably order trim in another month or two. I have to get the paint sanded and buffed first.

Speaking of color sanding and buffing, I got started today and it is going to take a while to get it done. I started working on half of the hood today and im really happy with the results. I may go ahead and get it moved back over to my garage this week too, gotta clear out some stuff first.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban

I broke down yesterday and called the glass guy out to install the back windows...I have to say that was money well spent. I also got the weather stripping in.



Got a little more of the sanding and buffing done. Not bad for a garage paint job.





Im hoping to get her moved home to my garage today. My wife says the suburban is my mystress and so she has a name....Alice

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban

Got her moved home yesterday and I stuck the old grill on. Think rims/tires new grill shell will be the next things to get. I have a pretty good set or painted bumpers, but Im going to get chrome ones.

Re: 72 Dropmember Suburban

Got the passenger side of the roof sanded and buffed. It sure is a lot easier doing the top without the body lines. I have to wait until I get my tire dollys to get to the drivers side sanded and buffed because there just isnt enough room.



Decided to install my slosh tubs and what a job that turned into. The front passenger wheel had 2 lugs nuts stuck. Took me a couple hours to get the tire off but finally did and got one tub in.
