Today I tried to buy some "Easy Grind" mig wire so we can start welding the body back together but I can't find any locally. I ordered some but it's a week until it arrives. So we decided to continue cutting. We put the rear inner wheel well up on the table. We laid out some cut lines to raise the wheel well 5 5/8" The fender lip has to be raised 2" so we made this cut too. The last pictures are all that is left of the original inner panel.

We spent some time welding the inner panel back together and patching rust spots.

Part of the drivers side rear quarter panel that will be staying on the truck was badly dented. So I spent some time with the hammer and dolly trying to reshape it. Here's two photos at the start and two of the dent at the end of the day. More hammering tomorrow.

We finished patching the rust holes along the seam in the wheel well. Then we added a 2" strip to lower the wheel opening. The wheel opening actually ends up raised 1 5/8" on the quarter panel.

Some rust to repair on the wheel opening edge of the inner wheel well. We started replacing the edge on the wheel opening of the quarter panel.

Wow you are getting after it! Great project. How do you like that Eastwood Versa Cut 60? Do you feel like it was a good investment?

Now we have to do the same thing to the drivers side wheel well. We have about the same rust on this side. Got started on wheel opening lip.

Rust repair sure takes time. We finished the side panel. Then we patched a couple of spots along the center seam. With all the rust fixed we started welding the top part of the inside wall on to the wheel well.

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Yeah, rust repair is a real time eater. You are making fast progress...lotta hours and effort. Looks good.
