- After covering more than 3,000 miles and performing a host of mechanical upgrades in our 1981 Suburban, it was time to turn our attention to one of the most overlooked aspects of any older vehicle - the interior. To address this, Mike, Elana, and the crew head to Huntington Beach, California where they met up with Gabe Flores and Craig Maiorana at the headquarters of Classic Industries, one of the largest resources for classic vehicle restoration and performance parts.
Here they went about the business of disassembling, cleaning, fixing, and restoring Big Green’s forty-year-old interior by way of some new interior panels, sound deadening, trim pieces, as well as some new cabin flooring, which helped to ensure that our 1981 Chevrolet Suburban was good for another 40 years on the road.

man that 4050 trans shifts so good so satisfying to hear
It made the Suburban so much for fun to drive - plus, cruising at highway speeds was now a piece of cake.
Awesome episode! Interior looks great!
Thank you!
Big Green ?? BIG SUCSESS !!!! Well Done You Two.....
It's been a great journey!
Rad! Another episode! Stoked to see that the floors and jambs were still solid!
The truck is super solid all around!
losing my mind that there's still no headliner lmfao
It has one now!
@@hemmingsmotornews is there any footage?
Seriously, need shots/video of the headliner in the “extra” episode 😆
@@georgeadelsperger9729 There will be social footage of it shortly - keep an eye out for it!
Would have been a good time for a 60/40 front seat
been waiting for the damn vid!!
1st view... again... from poring rain NE NY...
One day... in sprung... you can pass by my house... among many cars n teeruks... I have 3 (clone) 409s... all needing TLC... and I was SUPPOSED to be in Palm Springs this past wknd, but prioritys, so couldn't go... shame... the Corvair Fan Belt Toss went on without me... next year... I can still fix your door strikers...
Seems kind of like a downgrade using those door panels instead of restoring some factory ones with SEM. But I do have a question: Does the butyl rubber sound insulation really block much heat? Which part blocks the heat, the aluminum?
*spring... I don't take as much time editing as you...
Dang, look totally different with a beard
Woolwax or Fluid film is BY FAR the best for door and window lube. Lithium is meh...
I get the feeling that the front seat is about to get some attention as it does not match the upgraded interior. Just sayin....
