Seats were sent out for re-upholstery as soon as the frames came back from the paint booth. All chrome plating and stainless were completed before paint. When the original wheels were painted, tires were mounted and ready to go. An American Autowire OEM kit was purchased for complete rewiring. The bodywork commenced in November 2008, with the agreement that I would have the Suburban back no later than April 1, 2009.
At the beginning of July 2009 (only two months late), I brought the Carryall home and started reassembling at a furious rate. After running new fuel lines, brake lines, transmission cooler, re-coring the original radiator, rebuilding and silk screening the speedometer, all new glass and weather stripping, dual exhausts with Flowmaster mufflers, tail gate cables and retractors, bumpers and guards, hubcaps, and other items too numerous to mention, It is finally running beautifully and ready to head up to the St. Ignace car show in the upper peninsula of Michigan in June 2010.
