I got this Revell kit with the intention of doing an OOB build. But I couldn't help customizing a bit. So I visited the parts bin.

Since this kit only offers the stock version, you can do almost anything with it. Just like the 1:1 version.

First, I substituted a 435 hp 427 engine from an original '67 Impala.

I also had to fabricate a new exhaust with truck mufflers.

I found some bucket seats and moved the split front seat to the middle.

I added Cragar mag wheels and wider tires from the parts bin. Be careful doing this, as the wheel wells are a bit narrow.

Since Independence Day was coming, I used a red, white and blue motif inside and out. The flame decal came from an unknown kit.

I hope it looks garish enough. Thanks for viewing. Model on!!

Nice looking Suburban...!    Wheels look good on it.   I did a wheel change on the one I'm working on and had to widen the rear wheel wells, they are kinda narrow.
