FINALLY a rust free suburban hatch $$$$

So after 2 years and 2 sellers that were full of s"" I bit the bullet and took one of the so called "super nice" hatches that I had gotten screwed on to my buddy
Charles Calvin..The absolute best metal fab guy I've ever met.
{charlescalvindesigns.com) He called yesterday and was finished repairing my hatch and it looks great. He actually formed both lower corners and about 18"
across the bottom and 8" up the sides in one piece. here are some before and after pics

Well I smoked my 700R4 transmission so we pulled it out and went through it and did away with the lockup convertor, which is a big problem with them...also resealing my transfer case while its out.. should be rolling soon

Re: FINALLY a rust free suburban hatch $$$$

I just now found this. We have had the same problem. People say rust free when they mean free rust. Three hatches and still not an acceptable one. We may have to give your guy a call.
