A lot!
Rear glass, design and build bumper mounts, design and build trailer hitch, sort the wires and hide the rest, design and build a dash and lower valence, spray bedliner, upholstery shop for a headliner, install grille and lights, install carpet - seats- door panels, and who knows what else.

Re: ** YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN ** The truck Chevrolet should have built.

Here is what was involved with making special trim for 3 locations, one on passenger rear door, the other two on the fake door. Since Suburbans don't have upper door trim like pickups there are no parts available for my project. (Suburban upper trim is in a different location and shaped differently.) I had to buy 2 extra truck front door trims and section them about 6 inches and put them back together. Shown is the rear passenger door. The fake door side I sectioned and mated it directly to the cab corner piece. The fake door bottom trim also got sectioned and attached directly to the corner piece. The door bottom pieces also have one more gotcha. Suburbans were never Cheyenne Supers, so there is no wood grain version available. I bought a woodgrain tape insert kit and made my own Suburban door woodgrain trim set.

After all that, I was "having trouble" holding the pieces together. It seems my kenibly rod extension was interfering with my fetzer valve wrench. I had to call Mr. Chris Hill over to help explain to me that "it's all ball bearings these days". Thanks Chris for clearing THAT up!

I think he really just wanted to have his picture on the blog.
