Re: 70 suburban build
Great to see you post the Burban build up, Tim!

The guy he bought this from was the original owner and it was an exercise in patience for Tim to get it, it's gonna be cool, Vortecing down the road

Re: 70 suburban build
It should be noted for the formal record, No live animals were injured during the filming of this documentary, however numerous Northern Arizona, Native Pack-rats are now homeless.

Tim gets to work on all the cool stuff

Holly rat poop bat man! Nice save and great work fixing the frame etc. You're lucky that hadn't sat up here for 23yrs. There wouldn't be much floors left let a lone a frame.
