It’s been 2 years since we brought the beautiful (but loud) blue Suburban home to overhaul her for a daily driver and family fun mobile. We are recapping the original condition of the 1986 squarebody Chevy Suburban, challenges of a squarebody restomod so far, and projects we still plan to complete.
