How to remove trim, molding, and glass on a Suburban? Prepping for paint.

I like it, and I like that you went with the oem color...I just like stock stuff I guess.
I will be happy if mine turns out that good.

Thanks fellas. Im super stoked on it. I cant wait to get back home and drool on it!

Did you drive it home with a motocross helmet?

Looks great, I can't wait to see mine the same way!

 

[y5mgisi]

I thought about it! But no. I just tossed on a pair of OSHA approved safety glasses.

That is priceless I wish I could drive mine like that but the engine will be out. Unless they can paint around it.

 

[y5mgisi]

Are you talking about painting the engine compartment?

[y5mgisi]

You and me both!

This is terrible. Its like Christmas morning already came and went and now im at work waiting to play with my shiny new toys!

 

[Teck]

Just take your time putting it back together and you will be happier then if you get in a hurry and screw something up. Don't ask how I know either.

 

[y5mgisi]

I plan on it. The 77 is turning out to be a fine DD. I feel lost without something to tinker on in the mornings before work. I figure it will take at least a month to put it back together and probably alot closer to two or even three months. Lots od work to do and lots of stuff to buy.

Are you talking about painting the engine compartment?

Yes, I'm not sure If I want to do the bottom half or not.

 

[y5mgisi]

I see. Yea, if you are going to have them do that, might as well do it with the motor out and make it easier on everyone and get better results.

Gotta remember to charge my real camera tonight so that hopefully if i have time before work tomorrow i can pull it back out of the garage and take some more pictures. I really wanna do a bunch of before and afters.

My cell phone makes it look really silver. The one side pic of it that I posted this morning is an accurate portrayal of its actual color.

 

[1BEATK5]

somehow i missed the cell phone pics until now. it looks really good.

is that the original color?

 

[y5mgisi]

Yep! It's pretty dead on. You can really tell in the window channels where you can see the old next to the new.
