My suburban's Twisted Little Sister

[BruthaMan]

Subscribed. Trying to visualized what you are doing with the frame. In some photos, it looks like the skeleton of a dinosaur, in others I envision what it must have been like working with John DeLorean in a garage!

Suspense is killing me!

Love this build.

That pic of the snow and ice when you pulled it into the shop, should be captioned "Who needs to wait for summer?"

95.6 I think but with room for suburban, me and the V12 the wheelbase will be close to the stock burb.

The frame rails are part of the rocker and the floor attaches to the bottom of the frame just like a corvette

Winter does give me lots of time to work in the shop. It's too cold to do anything else.


Welded the X braces in front and back. Then we made a pointer to find the axle center line. We spent a lot of time laying out cut lines. They are a little hard to see in the photos

One more picture of the cut lines. Then we used tape to show where the cuts will be made. Rear door frame moves back 16" wheel well moves forward 9 3/4" the back of the truck moves forward 19". We finished the day drilling spot welds so we can remove the roof.
