Hey guys just wanted to post a few pictures of my burb. hope to have this thing painted by the end of summer. it seems to be taking forever but slowly picking away at it. I put up a temporary paint booth in my shop and so far things have turned out pretty well.

nice work.

I really wanted to paint mine like yours and if they made upper trim I would have. Your suburban is really cool and when my engine gets a little more tired I'am going to put a 6.0L engine in mine. I have owned this thing for 10 years and I figured I better get it done before my kids are all grown up and no need for a suburban anymore lol.

I'am painting mine the factory red with a white roof and lower trim. I want it to look exactly the way it came from the factory.

Thanks for the compliments guys!!! I'am getting really stoked about getting it painted so I can spend the winter puting it all back together and on the road next spring. My plan is to drive this thing lots.

Updates?

Here is a few more pictures. I painted the body on tuesday night. I want to polish the whole thing before I put it together so I have a few hours ahead of me. looks pretty good so far but I'am not so crazy about these new low VOC clears as I could not get the clear to lay down like I wanted. I polished the endgate last night and it looks really good but I spent about 3 hours on it alone. I hope to have the body rubbed down within the next couple of weeks but we will see.

U can get the upper trim from Mar-K out of Oklahoma City.....

Re: finally put some color on this thing.
 

I bought all new lower trim but was not aware they even made upper trim for suburbans. I went on to mar-k's website and it did not list upper trim just the lowers. now I'am curious!!!

Call and talk to James. The doors and front fender are the same as the truck. I worked with him to make the 3rd door and and the rear pieces. He made extras when he made mine. Let me know if you need any other information.

Wow this looks sharp.

Rob don't let them give you a hard time, you can't rush perfection.

Thanks for the info Hart Rod but at this point I don't think I want to change direction. It would be pretty cool to just have the upper trim and not two tone it thou. I noticed on yours that you do not have any holes for the trim how were you going to put them on?

Re: finally put some color on this thing.
 

I'll drill the holes when I get ready to put the trim on.

Re: finally put some color on this thing.
 

Thanks man!!! I just finished polishing it last night so I am going to start puting this thing back together. Maybe it will be back together before snow flies so I can drive it for a few days.
