Re: 66 suburban build
I got off early today and decided I would remove the upper windsheild panel.I drilled out 88 spot welds. I started peeling off the rusted out panel and naturally found a rat nest.I cleaned it out and discovered a calender from 1968 in the roof opening.I love to find stuff in old cars,kinda tells a story.

Re: 66 suburban build
Wow nice work so far!
I gotta ask though, your fresh air box, was there alot of gunk in the bottom of it when you got it off there?

On the second pic, where it appears to be some sort of sealer, is exactly where mine is rotted, allowing water to run inside. Is that something you did after the repair, or stock ??

Re: 66 suburban build
Had a day to work on the burb,so we focused on one side at a time.Knocked it down to the metal,pulled a few dents and epoxy primed in 6 hrs. I still can't believe how good shape this thing is in.
