Re: 66 suburban build

What?
Another blazer?

I like the color of the hood.
I say go for it.
I think these old trucks look best,... when painted the oem colors.
Especially with the new base/clear paints they have now.

Re: 66 suburban build

I have never seen anybody attempt to take that front panel out of a hood before. Thats where mine was rusted out so I just found another hood. Was it a rough job to do or not so bad, looks like a lot of spot welds.

HaHa,Yea one thing about me I can't stand doing bodywork and paint and wondering how long I got till it rust from the inside.So the only way I'm truely happen is to try and get the panel rust free in and out.I'll cut a perfect rocker off a truck cause I know theres rust back there.(I wonder if they have medicine for that)The hood I bought looked perfect and I paid for perfect but once I wire brushed the front panel little holes started appearing.I bought a front panel from Top Banana and it took me 20 min to get the old one off and I'm glad I did.There was 46 years of dirt and rust behind that panel and would have definitely popped through later.I won't have to worry about it now sorry so long.

Re: 66 suburban build

I have a dent to fix in my hood, on the p-side front corner. Exactly where you cannot get to it with a hammer and dolly. I have a stud welder and am planing on getting that dent out this weekend; but now that I have seen your hood with the front panel off I may just do that as well or instead.

I have some cosmetic modifications I want to do to that panel as well and taking it off will make those a lot easier to accomplish.

I hear you about needing medications for your build...
when I initially talked to my wife about my truck it was going to be a drop an engine/paint and go....
Now it is practically a frame off.

I cant seem to stop. LOL

I like your build, hope you dont mind me chiming in!

Looks good

Wow! You really dug into that hood.
Great job.

Would you happen to have more pics of you rebuilding the hood?
I will be attempting the same with mine.

I'm gonna wait and weld the panel on the front of the hood after we mock up the front cap.I'll just clamp and sheet metal screw it together and make sure it's square on the truck before I weld. I'll take pics along the way.
Thanks,

Re: 66 suburban build

I took my hood apart last weekend too, and it turned out to be more of a task than I had anticipated. Would have gone better if I had just bit the bullet and took it apart in reverse from how it was assembled.... Oh well, got it done, now to modify it, wait for the replacement rubber pads to arrive, and then put it back together!

How is yours?
