Progress on the '71

[pontiacvince]

I haven't been on in a while, but a few things have changed on the Suburban. I sent it to the body shop to get the rust on the rockers and front cab mounts done, as well as having extra holes welded up. I was so excited to get it back that I didn't check it over very closely.
Turns out, the guy lapped all the rocker panels with some of the old non-rusted metal instead of butt welding the joints. Everything was primed, but the panel alignment sucks. I was going to take it back in the Fall for the rear wheel well repairs. That ain't gonna happen now. I've taken it to a different, and MUCH better shop with a very good reputation, and much mo0re expensive, but I think they don't want to fix others screw-ups.
Oh, and I got the windows tinted. VERY happy with that....
I wanted to take it to a few shows this year, but I'm kind of embarrassed to show it with the ****ty body work.
Anyway, I'm just gonna enjoy putting miles on it this Summer until I find a GOOD body shop in the Fall....
