We got the two inch strip tacked in place to lower the wheel opening. We finally got the Easy Grind mig wire today so we can start welding the body panels back together later this week. |

We finished the welding on the two inch strip yesterday. Today we got started on the body panels. We started on the passenger side. The seam took some massaging to get it to line up. i guess the factory allowed some variation from front to back.

Your work continues to just have me grin and shake my head.
You guys really are so far up that curve. Amazing progress, and love the infills etc. |
Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister

Amazing work! |

Today we got the drivers side partly welded. Then we decided to fit the wheel well so we extended the wheel center line. Then test fit the wheel well and found it had to be trimmed to fit between the front and rear braces |

Yesterday we finished the welding on the drivers side. Then we found that the inner fender was rubbing on the quarter panel so we cut a horizontal line on the inner fender. We used a hammer and dolly to fold the edges in a little then welded it back together.

We got the drivers side wheel well modified for clearance. Then started on the lip of the wheel opening. We still have some more welding to do.
