    I fabricated the passenger seat mounts so it will lift and tilt to allow access to the back seat. I will ad gas shocks to help lift andto hold up, similar to a hood lift and hold.

    Merle, it is. Its at its futtherust back position. I'll connect a wire and bring it forward. The control switches will be installed then will have all the movements . Should be nice, 2010 Lincoln Towncar seats.

    Floor panels / seat detail. This shot shows the pieces I used (1) to cover the hole I cut to work on the shifter mechanism, (2) the master cylinder reservoir, and (3) the flat iron seat base. (1) that hole will not be required on the next shifter installation and a boot and mount added, (2) I understand I can get a remote reservoir kit to replace this one, for which I looking, (3) and that flat iron will be welded under the panel. Once welded together all metal screws and pop rivets will be removed and holes welded shut. That bar is for the front and rear seat bolts.

    I like this and will fab the same into my panels.

    Patchwork quilt. This piece will not be required on future installations. A smaller slot wil be covered by the shifter boot mount. I hesitate to show much, I'm aware that I'm not conventional, but it will do. Final shift arm not shown.

    Driver's side panel and seat are in. Panel (s) held in by metal screws and pop rivets. Passenger seat must tip forward. Apparatus to do theat loosely shown. i should add, under the 18 gauge panels are 2" X 1/8" flat irons, the bolts to which the seats are attached. Once welded in, they will be very strong. Some use large washers, I prefer this.

    I believe in Math that two negatives make a positive. When do I deliver it? LOL

    Four newly painted rims now have a pair of new 215/75R/15" tires on the six inch rims and a pair of 205/75R/15" on the 5 1/2" rims. The smaller tires and rims on the front. Wow, black walls out, looks fantastic! getting very close to "driver" stage. Getting anxious. My arthritic old body seems to work much better in warmer weather.

    That is a beautiful car. Your modernizing has really enhanced the lines and the unique rear fender which disappeared in '53.

    I suspect a buyer will do quite a few upgrades and air conditioning would likely on. So I didn't want to invest alotof time and $$. This is perfect.

    Car heater. Several years ago I had a very nice delux heater which did not fit behind the dash of my truck, so I traded it fit the small 10" square heater to a friend who. Wanted the delux in his suburban, and I used the small one. well, now I've been looking for a heater for my Suburban. I found another Square one for $28 and made contact. In the discussion he asked what I was going to use it in. When I told him, "My '53 Suburban," he then said, "In that case, the heater is free to you! Interesting hobby.

    Hey! Any ladies' auxiliary pictures the year. Few trucks get built without some form of aid, permission, funding, time sacrifice by our spouses!

    Pontiac Guy. What did you decide on the fuel tank. Mine pressure tested solid.

    The shortest route today is 5900 Kim, by going through Niagara Falls. Estimated driving time 57 hours.

    Update: I've lost most of my wrenching enjoyment so hope to have enough drive to finish the Suburban and sell it. I'm very close, today may finish the floor panels, after that what remains is assembly work and cosmetics. I'm very grateful to those who have shared with me their knowledge of these vehicles and how to repair them. It has been a lot of fun. Will submit some photos end of the week.

    I cropped the picture and lightened it up some. When I see faces I know, I realize anew what I missed.

    Vintage Air has an AC for the VW which has a 30 hp engine. I'm looking into that for my B3B. Your coupe will likely have about the same interior cu in as the VW. FFT

    I suggest disc.brakes, new brake lines, and new wiring. Then drive it for a year. These cars drive very well stock. Find out what you really do not like, then repair and change accordingly. JMHO

    Aren't there mfg gig hold holes that can be used as well? Seems those holes are shown on the frame schematic.

    With regrets, will miss tomorrow for health reasons. Nothing long term serious, just something that needs attention now. This is only my 2nd miss. Greetings to all. Paul Flaming

    I removed my B3B engine and clutch housing with pedals attached, but so much easier to remove the front fenders and grille first. IMHO.

    My '54 Suburban had some purchased floor panels for the upper floor below the dash. The metal is very thin, would take a very good welder. I made cardboard panels for the floor panels front, to where the passengers' feet rest. I took those panels to a local sheet metal shop and had them duplicated in 18 gauge metal. I removed all from front to rear, then I used one piece on each side of the drive shaft hump. I have help help this Saturday for installation. That is the last big item just cosmetic items after that.
