Looking good. Can't wait to see it done.

Great meeting you by the way. I ended up leaving and blowing a hole in the trans cooler line on the way to Rochester.

Re: started working on the 65 suburban

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.

Re: started working on the 65 suburban

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

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
