Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
Weekly update!! Spent the weekend tieing up loose ends on the outside of the burb. My biggest job was to cut out and reweld the roof joint. What an emasculating endeavor! That was the hardest thing ive ever welded. I had to cut this thing twice due to oil canning the roof. Oh well, its done...

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
Not much to report this weekend. All i did was weld the floor and firewall. I also stripped the paint from the inside of the two front doors. Man, that factory paint is really stuck on there. Aircraft stripper barely touched it!

I also got the engine compartment cleaned up and painted. I was shocked how well the motor turned out!

It is really coming together well. It's going to look like it rolled out of the factory!

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
Thanks man!!! I got really lucky!
Heres the story: my wife and two daughters went on a week long disney cruise and left me at home to work on my truck in solitude. The week went ok, i didnt get as far as i wanted, but made good progress. Sunday afternoon comes and im stripping paint off of the inner window trim with a wire wheel attachment on an angle grinder. It seems that one of the wire bristles flies off, bounces off my shoulder, flies past my full face shield AND glasses and hits me in the right eye. My eye immediately starts to bleed inside (the white part). Went to the emergency room, after 6 hours, i got a tetanus shot and an xray. The swelling in down, and looks much worse than it is, but i got lucky guys. Heres a pic, i hope this isnt too graphic:

Re: 1966 Suburban...Sort of...Trailblazer SS SWAP
Glad to hear you are going to be okay. Yeah about half of the time I end up with something in my eye is when I have all my eye protection on. Stuff just bounces around and finds that little slit of an opening.
