Why does everyone have to mention the "roof" as being soooo big.. I mean--if we tell ourselves that it's small--then it's small. But, if there's the voice of reason in the room sayin it's big--it's depressing!!! :-)
Luckily--aside from the forehead of the roof on mine--it's nice and smooth.. thankfully..

Re: 66 suburban aka the sub

picked up the rest of the front end fenders and grill surround, these new parts are kinda cheesy but i guess they will have to do.
