He's on it full time now...we expect to have it painted end of this month! Rear doors have been a toughie..but have another wood guy doing those as the wood in the clamshells are a bear to do right. Got rear upper door glass and gaskets..they are to be had with Steele rubber...pricey. 90.00 for the pr. Will take photos when it's got it first color on it. Even found a 36 Radio for the Burb! Being restored by Ray Holland in VCCA.

Gary..bodyman, is working on those tricky rear clamshell doors. Hard to get that top one to sit just right..and I'm coating the wood bed boards with a healthy brush of Tung oil..(protects from warping) than lots of sanding and varnish. seats are being done..and I pick up the 206.8 engine very soon. So the climb to Mt Everest is happening...it'll be march before we can finish it..running outta dough..ha! Bruce | | | | | Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 205 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2011 Posts: 205 | KURT..just thought I'd mention we haven't painted the Suburban yet..those tricky rear clanshell doors held us up. We wanted to do finished colors after they were in..now they are..look great. So it gets the finished colors end of this month. Will send you pics to post if you;d be so kind. Motor is rebuilt, all is ready to be wired..harness not here yet. Been a great project so far. Thanks for your Help..Bruce D. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 4,252 "Hey!
