Buttoned up and Ready to Roll

These are some of the pictures when I got a tag and took the car for a drive. The blue tape is on the car while fine tuning some of the body fitment pieces.

I don’t love the black wheels. They looked great online and I was able to get some help from a friend to get a killer deal. The requirement was a 17″ wheel to clear the front upper ball joint.

The brakes look tiny but they are more than enough to do the job. For size comparison the top of the roll cage is about 12″ taller than the top of the fender on the Suburban.

Adding some paint

Here you can see the painted front end. I have added plates for the sway bar to mount as well as the radiator.

The fuel tank also got strapped in and is ready for the body to get skinned

Rear fenders were installed with Welting between the body and the fiberglass. The paintwork was done by John Holt at Holtwheels.

The nose was painted to match.

In case you are wondering why silver? I painted it the same color as my S54 BMW M Coupe (Now my fathers..)
