Last week we finished piece we added to the center of the roof. This week we started on the patch between the roof panel and the side. We also pulled my pickup out of then barn so I can put some miles on it this summer.

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
I am sure I am not the only one who is thinking:
PLEASE, the detail shots are great and really showcase your work, but PLEASE, back up about 10 feet and take just some normal shots so we can see what this thing looks like. I find myself trying to guess what the proportions are. if you are building suspense, it works haha. but an overall shot would just answer so many questions. and let me reiterate, great work, nice showcasing!

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
After finishing the roof to side patch we moved on to the drip rail across the back. we left the vice grips holding most of it together and started cutting off small sections and welding the two panels.

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
One thing we did find when we cut the drip rail off the rear corner was the difference between the roof and the rear of the side panel. We will have to make a small patch to continue the roof line down to the side panel. These pictures don't show the difference that well so I'll try to get a better picture tomorrow.

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Every time I check on this thread I continue to be amazed at the amount of sheetmetal welding you guys are doing with no visable warpage. Would you mind sharing your method or procedure? Do you cool your tacks with compressed air? Are you hammer and dollying as you go? I need to work on my sheetmetal welding skills.

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Thanks for the info on how you weld sheetmetal. It always helps to know how others do things.
I'll have to check out that thread later.

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Here's a couple of better pictures of the misalignment at the rear corner. Plus another couple of the progress removing the drip rail across the back.

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Ok here's the update from yesterday and today. We made a patch for the top rear corner misalignment. Got it tacked in place and weld and smoothed. We still have to fill in the end by the rear hatch.

My daughter and I went to the swap meet and car show in Bothwell today. So I took some pictures of chevy trucks to show everybody. We also met up with forum member Johnny_Lamebridge and his lovely wife. The first picture is Johnny's truck followed by some of the others that were there.
