Nice progress. But I see a problem...there are a lot of parts in these pictures that apparently ended up at the wrong house. I knew I was missing some stuff. ;) Nice to see somebody making progress, seems to be coming out well.

How come you had to cut the frame and stitch it together?

gostranger 08-13-2011 06:18 PM

Re: started working on the 65 suburban
 
It was my long wide bed frame i already had all the bag work and c knotches all done so it was easier to shorten the frame than redo the suburban frame

stay tuned i just got the body on!!!!! Pics soon!!!!!
