Re: started working on the 65 suburban
 

You have a great looking suburban here and I really like what you are doing to it. Keep at it and hopefully your back will let you continue on. I know about back issues, as my older brother has a bad back (crushed discs as a teenager) and it has affected his own truck and car builds over the years. Keep up the updates as you can and hopefully you will be able to get it running down the road soon!

Re: started working on the 65 suburban
 

I will keep at it thanks!!!

Re: started working on the 65 suburban
 

hey thanks!

did you get that suburban going?

Re: started working on the 65 suburban
 

here is a couple more pics of the inner fender i am trying to fit in the front i think i am going to widen it to make it work better.

i am using the porterbuilt front end to narrow the front but i am still very close to the fender and the hood not much turning room i am going to have to try to figure out a way to get some more turning room! any one with any ideas i am all ears!!!!!

Re: started working on the 65 suburban
 

really liking that inner fender idea, im having the same problem with the front clearence changed the backspacing i was given came in 1'' and still not much room for turning i thought the dropmember was supposed to be narrowed 2''

Re: started working on the 65 suburban
 

I guess I am not the only one having clearance issues I wonder how many other people are having them? I figured running the dropmember I was going to pickup more clearance than I have? I already trimmed about 1" off the lip of each fender but it looks like I will have to cut into the fender more and into the lip of the hood!!! To get any turning while driving which is the whole point for my build!
