I assume you have the wood grain version to match the side trim not the black version.

I really like that band and will definitely put it on my fleetside 4x4.

I have already apologized for desecrating the Suburban, please don't hate me.
As many Suburbans as there are out there that people are having to give away, I didn't feel so bad using one to create something spectacular. Now if I had cut it all up and not finished - that would be a completely different story. I would have even hated me!

Wrenched my back again today on the ski slopes, please pray for a speedy recovery. Thanks.

i hear ya on the back pain, ive currently got two bulged discs in my back. been off work for 2 months already and thank god ive got a good sick plan with work.

racedaddy · 12-17-2011, 08:44 PM

I cried when I saw you cut that burban up but wholly crap Batman what a resurrection you have made. If you had cut and dropped the ball it would be one thing but you have knocked out a heavyweight with a build like this. If I'm near Memphis I have to see it.

Drew ,I can attest to this slogan.........U have to butcher to get the "steak"--It's better than a GM designer...........I promise not to say anything about the 4th door though!...........whoops...........lol............jim

tomsprojects · 12-18-2011, 02:12 AM

I feel for you, I finally had a operation done on my back where they replaced two disc and fused one and I have never felt beter.

Amazing project and culmination of long hours and talent.

mcbassin · 12-18-2011, 01:24 PM

Get well soon!

drewskiren · 12-18-2011, 08:06 PM

Two days of rest and prayer have me on the mend. Thanks to everyone. I'm going to ski tomorrow. I know if I snowboard I will go down a few times and I can't risk it.

coggonobrien · 12-18-2011, 08:16 PM

this is one of those times where you should think what would jesus do. i think it would finish the truck in time for his birthday

Well there's the first volunteer, if someone wants to fly me out I'll be #2.

coggonobrien · 12-19-2011, 09:45 AM

ha ha, yeah i would love to be somewhere warm like that right now. i'm painting a tractor myself next week for a guy while my plant is down for the holidays and i should probably be trying to put my truck together

**nlped** · 12-19-2011, 10:03 AM

Okay, I just read 102 pages... I'm a bit weary, but I have to say that this is one beautiful build. My mom lives in Oakland, so I'm in the Memphis area a few times a year, and I'd love to come take a gander.
