Re: Frankenburb
ya, the exhaust is alot lower than expected.
 The problem is the full length headers. that will go away with the new frame, i'll make some adjustments so they don't hang as low.

Re: Frankenburb
Yup, as soon as I get the crossmembers designed, cut, and welded in, the next step was to go through and plate all the weld joints.
needless to say, i'm excited for when I get this thing rolling.

Re: Frankenburb
subscribed, wish I knew someone like you when my burb was still in LA, instead I had some body shop guy try to steal my burb and it took 18 months to get it back!

Re: Frankenburb
Ya, i was about to put a hammer to the side of the suburban during my last week working on it. I'm back at school right now (so i'm taking a break, and will resume some weekend when I make it back home). anyways. here is a link to my FB page where I have been keeping mobile uploads going more consistently than this page. just haven't downloaded the images to my computer yet to upload here.
It's current state: Doors inside the cab. Hood on the roof. Front end in the back yard. A friend has started doing the smoothing/bondo work to the rear end while I finish up the rockers. http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?s...3767.702107231

Re: Frankenburb
Well, it's been quite a while since I've posted anything here. Since the last time I've managed to: Strip out entire interior (BTW-- I have the dash if anyone is interested) Remove the doors/windows Remove frame and sell off the pieces Get the custom frame build going. Everything has been custom made, and I don't have a lot of time to do things, so it's been a slow process. (Sorry for the ****ty phone pictures)

Re: Frankenburb
Here is the completed upper and lower arms. I am prepping to cut the entire floor out, which will be the next hurdle before getting the frame in place in the body and the back-half tackled.
