Re: 1951 Suburban a 4 year project....
Do you just spot weld the panels on or do you go back and weld the entire seam?

Re: 1951 Suburban a 4 year project....
Hotrod, the floor pans just got spotted about every 3-4" and then seam sealer was put on all seams.. the cowl panels and any other patch panel was weld all the way around and then grounded smooth..

Re: 1951 Suburban a 4 year project....
You can see how much better the fender fit on the drivers side than the pass side.. cut it moved it in a little and reshaped it to fit..

Re: 1951 Suburban a 4 year project....
On the suburban's the drivers seat sits up on a riser so we were able to put the radio, computer for air ride and some relays under the seat making a neater install and to hide some of the ugly stuff..
