Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP

O.K. Just want for you to keep me in mind...
I am pretty sure that they would need to be keyed to my VIN anyways.
I am thinking about making my TBSS run good, then freshen it up for my '66 when the body & drivetrain begin to take a crap....Plus it will be a fun DD in the meantime!

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP

Another great weekend is in the books. Somehow, it took two days for me to get the driver inner fender fabricated. I had to make a run to the local tractor supply to pick up a pair of trailer fenders so i had some wheel travel room up front. I also mocked up the grill.

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP

All the fab work is done. I just finished up mounting the front and rear bumpers. I set my hood on there, and realized its totally fubared. Probably worse than my skills can repair. Anyhow, here are sone pics:

I would say your definition of FUBAR and mine are different. From what I see you did fantastic work.

Just the hood is fubared. I think someone sat on the back of it when it was off. On top of having multiple dents, it has a really flat spot in it. Ill try to fix it, but i dont have alot of confidence i can fix it.

Now that makes sense. I can see some of what you were talking about on a closer look in the picture.
