SHOP UPDATE: I spent the day mocking up some body panels on John's 31 delivery

 Here is the first look at John's delivery with the rear quarters mocked up.

 I modified all the original wood body blocks and got the sub-frame bolted to the frame. this is the first time the quarters have been fit to the new steel sub-rails. looks like they were made for each other.

I spent half the day wondering to myself " what was I thinking when I sold this to John?"

SHOP UPDATE: getting ready to paint more roadster parts.

 All body work is finished on Bill's fenders. They are in final primer and ready to wet sand.

I finished installing all hardware to the dash. I need to fabricate a support from dash to firewall and I can pull the dash and get it painted.

 Susi is wet sanding one of the rear fenders getting ready for paint.

I doubled the cowl seal, it really helps line the hood up and keep the gaps clean and tight. We will get the hood and grill on one more time to check fitment and then remove them for paint.

FOR SALE: 1954 GMC Suburban

Selling for a friend. 1954 GMC Suburban. This was the first year for one piece windshield and Automatic transmission. This is a pretty nice suburban. Very little rust. Nice clean floors and lower quarters. It has a little rust in the very rear as seen in the photos. This is a non running project. Engine is mostly complete all other drive train is there. It has all original seat frames from front to rear. These are extremely hard to find. Doors are all good. Body is pretty straight, has a few dings and dents. The roof is excellent. This is a great start on an awesome rare project. $5500.00 gets it. Contact me if interested. Affordable Delivery is also available

AFTER HOURS: More decisions

 Susi and I finished installing the drivers side fenders and running boards.

 We added the hood and and tried both styles of headlights. I really like the look of the 39 deluxe but decide to go with the original 40 deluxe so I can use halogen sealed beam bulbs

Its looking like a truck, a few more nights and we should be off to sand blast.

AFTER HOURS: Susi and I got some serious mock up done tonight.

 I wanted to replace this bent up rear cross member.

 My friend Tim was able to get a couple new cross members bent for me.

 I had to do a little notching on the ends and it fits like a glove

 Susi and I started mocking up the new bed. Its has a few fitment issues but nothing we can't deal with.

 The truck is starting to look pretty good

 Tonight we fit the new drivers door on the truck. With a little shimming it should fit really nice.

 We fit the passenger front fender tonight. We are using car fenders. We had to modify them a bit to fit the cowl but they are going to work very well.

 We installed the running board and rear fender as well. We will be working over this rear fender for sure. Its a little ratty but it is steel and I am determined to use it.

This is the first look at the truck at ride height with some fenders. I like it, just low enough to have the look but should be able to be driven anywhere
