Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait

Well the subframe change on the Buick will be going a different route. What looked good on paper is too wide in real life. Went to school on that one.

So was able to get back on the Burb this week end. The end of the rust repair is in sight....right side almost done except for the front lower fender mounting area. Hope to replace that next week end, mount fenders for marking where the nuts should go, weld in the flanged nuts (thanks again Jim!) then call this part good enough.

Butt welded new metal in on about 40 inches of rusted areas on the right side.....lotta tacking and grinding. Feels like the movie Ground Hog Day. Just keep repeating the same. Looking forward to the next steps....
