the soccer mom

i guess i should have started this a while ago. i took apart a 38000mi perfect 71 c20 suburban like a fool! the only running, driving, cool rig we had. now they are all apart. it started with an interior freshen up and a 6" drop. then sms jerked me around for 5 months on seat fabric till i gave up and went with houndstooth and a color change.

Re: the soccer mom

custom c notch, and there has been a bunch of plug welding old holes and new rivets. had to lengthen the panhard frame bracket 3.5". tried to keep it stock looking. mufflers showed tonight, going to be a snake charmer tomorrow and run exhaust.
