Sweet custom 4 door AD suburban

I found this video that I wanted to share. This was built in Brazil and I saw it briefly covered once on an episode of Car Crazy. They didn't provide enough detail for me.

Check it out. This is an outstanding build.

Re: Sweet custom 4 door AD suburban

That is nicely done. I may be running up the count on that one checking some of the details especially the mods on the hood.

Re: Sweet custom 4 door AD suburban

Very involved build. Too bad they glossed over the fabrication of the rear door system.
Thanks for the share Marc.

Re: Sweet custom 4 door AD suburban

I like everything except the hood, it's wedged way too much for me. But overall it's damn cool.

Maybe, if I had Marc or Brian's skill and a bunch of time for it. Me, I will be happy to get a two door on the road.

Re: Sweet custom 4 door AD suburban

i like the 4 doors.

it's ironic:
if they have 4 doors oem people don't like them or remove them
if they have 2 doors oem people add 2 more to make it a 4 door

Thanks but that's above my abilities. I really like the overall look. The stance, wheel size, shinny paint and interior. I wonder if they are running 3 rows of seats..

Re: Sweet custom 4 door AD suburban

Yep, like almost anything, time and money....having one built would be pretty pricey.

good point too Ogre about taking a two door and making it a four door or taking a four door and making it a two door. We build because we want something different and cool.

Marc, I wondered about the interior too. How many seats? Would be nice to see more pictures of this one. Anything going with your Burb? Iceburgh has left us in his dust!

Agreed! There is quite a bit of work there and it is very well done. It sent me on a half hour hunt for four door and extended cab AD / TF trucks.

That is too true! I only look at four doors now that I have a family. Was happy with two for many years.

Its funny you ask. I got out there for the first time in months. I wanted to give iceburgh a nice head start. ha ha. Truthfully, I had an expected/unexpected job change so that has had me occupied for sometime. That has started to settle down as I enter week three in a job I enjoy more.

Porterbuilt is getting close on my kit. I will post some drop member pics in my build thread.
