Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
In the nicest way possible, you are a mad builder, and I love this van.
You guys are doing so well. I have soon to start welding and cutting and grinding on my truck. I am sure it will turn out OK, but do hope it gets to a point like your build where I can step back and say "Wow" Looking forward to every update on here. |

I look forward to watching your progress as well. It must be a lot tougher building a truck there when you're so far from the suppliers |

Not a lot to post today because we have a pile of welding to finish before we can put the roof on. And welding takes up a lot of time. Here's a couple of spots we got finished.

Did more welding and grinding today. We got the pass side B pillar finished. Then we moved to the C pillar to fix the window frame. We cut out the corner then moved it back about 1.5" and clamped it in place.

Here's a few more pictures showing the piece tacked in place and some of the finish welding. We just have a small 1.5" gap left to fill.

Nice fix on the C pillar. I had been looking it over and wondered which way to go to bring it all in line. Love it.

We spent quite a bit of time today trying to fit the roof skin. The skin is actually wider at the front than the back which makes it difficult to fit on a square truck. so we decided to think about it for awhile. We moved on to making mounting tabs to hold the body to the frame.

Friday we welded a bunch of brackets on to connect the body to the frame. Here's a couple of pictures from the passenger side. |

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
This is truly an awesome build. I started on the last page, but after seeing just a couple pictures, decided it was best to start from the beginning. Wow. I can't wait to see how this turns out.

We cut out a patch from an old suburban roof then trimmed it to fit. |
