Put in Chevy leather interior from 2000 burb. Been on road now couple years in half primered multiple colored condition so starting to think about body work. However like you I would rather be able to not worry about fancy paint and be able to say to folks" what you mean it is already painted....." Good luck w the feat of the build.
Thanks 49 bourbon...

I coach my youngest son in youth football and we start our season next Monday, so my Surburban progress will start to slow to a snails pace (hard to slow down more with as slow as I have been moving).

No worries though I will get back on it from time to time.
