well, i saw that on a 55 chevy... or was it 57, in the issue of Super Chevy and i thought about it, but all THAT work would be way too insane. im not that insane... lol, well, maybe just a little. plus, i plan on lightening it up quite alot. i want to reienforce the body AND possibly the frame with aluminum and put carbon fiber ontop of that metal. idk, its still in the concept for and as a young college student, isnt close to even being started. but its one hell of a dream of myne. to build a light weight, powerful, efficient suburban. one of its kind, at least until someone shows me up and does better, in which i would gladly shake his hand and make an even better vehicle.

I swear to god I almost felt like I was listening to Tyrone while reading that first post! Imagine all the crack you could buy with the money going into that Burban!
