Re: 72 Suburban Build
Hood hinges installed, bags all mounted. Overall a pretty productive weekend. I plan on putting the motor together next week and then make all new brake lines.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
Yes, they are Porterbuilt. However, the website he gave you doesn't work anymore. You need to go to porterbuiltfabrication.com now. The hinges are BEAUTIFUL and the function is GREAT. It wasn't too bad putting them on. I spent a lot of time measuring everything like 10 times to make sure it was good. My only complaint is that with the gas shock option the hood doesn't open very far. I'll take some pictures later so you can see. There isn't really anything you can do about it though since there is only so much room for those shocks. It's not bad, I just thought it would open more. Now, that I think about it, I have another complaint...it doesn't align the hood for you
 . Its a pain in the A$% trying to align it by myself. It's pretty close right now but I need to do a little more adjusting.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
Just ordered one of the Entropy radiator setups and some new pulleys. I have wanted to spend a chunk of change on nice pulleys for like 15 years now and finally pulled the trigger!!! You have no idea how excited I am!!!!!!

Re: 72 Suburban Build
I was a little worried about clearance with the radiator/fan setup I ordered. I emailed the guy back and forth a few times and for $150 more he will use 14" fans (instead of 11") and make a lower profile shroud that he says will clear anything. Plus, it looks badass!!!

Re: 72 Suburban Build
Motor is ready to go. Unfortunately I was sent two passenger side motor mounts so I won't be able to put it in this weekend. I'll just get everything else ready to go so once they get here I can just drop it in and fire it up.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
Gas tank all polished up. I went to put it in from the bottom (how it is supposed to go) but it hung down too low. I decided to mount it from the top. I had to do some trimming for it to work but it ended up fitting very well and comes pretty much flush to the bottom of the frame.

Re: 72 Suburban Build
Well I spent most of the day fixing a little rust and smoothing out the firewall. I still have a little more work to do on it but I'm pretty happy with it so far.
