Almost looks like it could have come from the factory that way, Keith. I had a buddy that raced stock cars and he once said he could work all week on a suspension piece and no one noticed. But if he hung a fender, everyone said it looked like he'd been kicking butt. This is one of those big milestones that tend to overshadow those "million other things". Keep plugging away!

Looking good Keith! I remember how it felt to get the motor in. You must be excited now! Keep it up, your little one will be ready for a ride in no time.

Re: The Family Truckster- 66 Suburban Build

Any updates on this? I am curious as to how much lower you could go without the inner fenders.

Re: The Family Truckster- 66 Suburban Build

Sorry, I don’t have any updates on the Burb. I recently had surgery to repair a torn bicep tendon in my right arm. It will be a few months before I can get back to work on the Burb. But to answer your question, I’m still running the factory crossmember and control arms so it won’t really any lower with the inner fenders removed. You would need at least tubular control arms or cupped lowers to take advantage of no inner fenders.
