Thanks. Yeah, I did most of it in the garage but some things like the doors, hood and hatch I did in the back yard. Still need to paint the top but I ran out of warm weather.

Yeah the 15s were driving me nuts too so I put the 22s back on and haven't taken them off since. I also put the windshield in and put the hood, tailgate and hatch back on. More pics:

Frizzle Fry · 12-03-2007, 12:55 PM

Can't wait to see it all back together!

19723DR · 12-03-2007, 06:36 PM

Getting up to speed... I made an order to Brothers and ordered deluxe marker lights, door seals, sill plates, pedals and pedal covers.

19723DR · 12-03-2007, 06:40 PM

I also ordered a full carpet kit from Trim Parts. It's light saddle in the 80/20 loop.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 12-03-2007, 07:29 PM

Wow that looks great....

19723DR · 12-04-2007, 04:40 PM

Here are some pics with the windows tinted and things more put together. The rear windows are limo black and the front are lighter.

IvelDesigns · 12-04-2007, 09:29 PM

wow, nice work! i bet it looks pretty sweet out in the sunlight with the new tint.

19723DR · 12-07-2007, 12:48 AM

Here's some pictures I took before I tinted the all windows out in the sunlight.

19723DR · 12-07-2007, 12:56 AM

My focus this winter is finishing the interior. I'm not sure if I am going to re-upholster the old seats or try to find some out of a newer Suburban. The old seat belts latch in the middle so when you put a car seat in it digs into the kids back. What do you guys think? I use it to haul the family on drives. I'd like something that is comfortable and safe. Here are the stock second and third row seats:

FRENCHBLUE72 · 12-07-2007, 06:14 PM

All I see are sexy red x's

19723DR · 12-07-2007, 07:01 PM

my67chevytruck · 12-07-2007, 07:39 PM

Frizzle Fry · 12-08-2007, 11:54 AM

Looking better and better. You gonna run the lower side trim?

**Hart_Rod** · 12-08-2007, 12:00 PM

The burb looks great! Here's a link to adding gas struts to your liftgate without having to drill or weld anything:

Good find. I bought a lower trim set from them and saved $40. The $70 for shipping and handling that Brother's wanted was a little steep. They showed up today and here they are:

Testing how they fit:

How high did these go originally? Was it even with the body line or was there a space?

Frizzle Fry · 12-20-2007, 06:38 AM

I'll post a pic of mine if someone else doesn't beat me to it. It's basically right below the radius if the lower body line (as high as possible without being on the bend). Are those stick-on clips?
