This morning I primed and painted the passenger side rockers. The white on the passenger side is now complete. Once the driver side white is finished I will move on to the red. Also I would like to wish all the forum members a Happy Birthday today that I share it with, hope you all have a wonderful day!!!

**kev2809** · 12-11-2022, 01:56 PM

**kev2809** · 12-21-2022, 07:17 PM

nice work. ya were bracing down here too, supposed to be below 20 on friday and saturday! we dont know how to act in south texas when it drops below 40

BAD1916 · 12-22-2022, 12:09 AM

My wife was just complaining that it will be almost 80 on Christmas in Southern California��

**KFF 1** · 12-22-2022, 03:42 PM

Thx guys .... Im making last minute preparations for the storm. We are not supposed to get a bunch of snow, I think 2 inches max. We are supposed to get a flash freeze early tomorrow morning with wind gusts around 55 mph. Cant be as bad as the ice storm we had last winter, I was out in that most of the night. Enough about the weather LOL, today Dad and I prepped the quarters and shot primer on them. This evening I might get it nick puttied and possibly sanded for a final time but single digit temps tomorrow and Saturday are going to throw a wrench in the works for me getting the paint blown on it I think.

Just found this post as I don't often review posts in the suburban section and read it start to finish - very well done!

I'm somewhat local to you (NE Columbus) - do all Napa locations have the ability to put an OEM single-stage color into a spray can or only some?

Thank you .... As Madkidd007 said in his post not all of them do. Ours here in town does not so i have to go to the next county over to have it mixed up and then installed into the rattle can

**KFF 1** · 12-25-2022, 10:02 AM

Merry Christmas everyone !!!! .... The internet has been down bc of the storm that went through so I am behind on updates lol. Friday I managed to get the red fogged in on the driver rear portion of the quarter panel. Once distressed both the red and the white should match up pretty well to the original weathered paint. Just glad its going to be 2 tone again and the black primer will be gone.

BAD1916 · 12-26-2022, 01:54 PM

Looking good!

**KFF 1** · 12-26-2022, 06:10 PM

Thank you BAD1916. Today I got the passenger side fogged in and I also did some touch up around the fuel cap to blend it in a little better. Tomorrow I will give it the once over and if its good start putting it back together.

**KFF 1** · 12-27-2022, 01:40 PM

More progress this morning. Comet washed the red and blended it in. Made a little fake rust and stone chips at the rear then comet washed it as well. Taillights and side markers are back in, rear bumper back on, lower rear trim installed. After lunch Im going to start cleaning up the inside and install the rear seat and after that the glove box and that should be it. Might get to take it to pick up the little grandson on Thursday.

**kev2809** · 12-27-2022, 02:01 PM

ha! that's great looks exactly like rust pitting do you clear over it too or it's not needed?

Thx Kev .... Some guys clear it and some guys dont. Im not going to clear mine it doesnt see enough bad weather to go through all that.

**KFF 1** · 12-30-2022, 05:58 PM

Well fellas, last night the Judge, Jury, and Executioner arrived at the house (my 6 year old grandson lol ) so today he decided to inspect the Suburban to see if Papa J did a good job

**LockDoc** · 12-30-2022, 06:19 PM

Keep Grandpa on the straight and narrow son...

My winter knit picking list is just about complete. Received the new throttle cable today and had to make a bracket out of the existing one on the TB. Tomorrow I should have the Burb back together and ready for when the weather turns nice in a few months

**KFF 1** · 01-22-2023, 01:11 PM

Well the bracket I made yesterday was off by a country mile but thats what I get for getting in a hurry. So this morning I started all over again and now the throttle cable project is complete.
