Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!

[kev2809]

Well, i been teetering around the forum since march 09 when i got this beast. Found it on craigslist in dallas, called up the dude who was asking $800, talked him down to $600 over the phone. That weekend i picked up a trailer with my 02 Tahoe and made the 4 and a half hour trip up to dallas (I'll never do that by myself again, lol). Was kinda cold, had been raining, and was probably the worst weekend to go lol. Anywho, i tried to get him down to 500 since it had a horrible dent in the 4th door area, but he wouldnt budge. We winched it on the trailer, i stopped at McDonald's, filled up, and headed back to Houston (area). And this is when it started raining again, so going max 55mph (trailer started swaying all over the freeway at anything faster) in the rain it took me a little over 6 and a half hours to get back. And this is what it looked like the day i got it...

First thing i started to do was repair the rear driver side quarter, so i bought a rear driver side long bed quarter. It fit ok, but it didnt come with the wheel arch indention, so i replaced it anyways and i have to go back later and make an indention...heres some before pics,

and heres after..i also had to cut a section out right behind the new piece towards the bumper. i just some spare metal i had and shaped it in. since this pic i laid a little glass over the weld line, then some filler to smooth it out. ill snap some more in once i get the wheel arch added to the new piece.
