Re: My 1950 dog hauling, trailer towing, daily driver Suburban

Thanks Divine
Ogre, at first I couldn't find an intro section and wanted to start a build thread when I started back in on it. I was in such a hurry this summer to get the thing on the road to catch a couple late cruises that I didnt have much time for a build thread.....I was just building!

Grumpy, I was Chasing the "bare metal clamshell" over a year ago on the Hamb,lost it, found this one , found this forum and saw your bare steele 53 and LOVED IT! I know most of you will probobly stop following this build if I did this, but I have actually thought of stripping the paint off of this one and going bare metal. 1) I love the industrial look 2) this thing has virtually no filler in it. My wife would kill me, so it will probobly stay painted.
Our trailer is a 60 Avion. I tried to find a super clean unrestored airstream, but couldn't. They all needed something. Jumped on the Avion out of Missoula Montana. We spent most of last years weekends in it. The truck/camper is now mothballed after my wife and hounds fell in love with having a lot more room to get out of the weather in the trailer, especially after making them camp in the teardrop (restored 1945 KIT Mfg.) behind the 55 wagon
