New Project: Second Chance 72 Suburban

Introducing my latest project, a 1972 Suburban rescued from the crusher, literally. I'm going to call this one Second Chance Suburban.







It's rough, and rusty, and I'm pretty sure I'm getting in way over my head...







Let me know what you guys think. Expect progress to be VERY slow on this one. I lost a bit of motivation on my other truck (Toad), and wanted something else to focus on on days when I've had enough on that project.

Hopefully if any of you other Suburban owners are in my area (southeastern CT) I can check out your truck or get some repair tips as I'm pretty sure there is stuff completely missing from this thing that I'll have no idea what shape its supposed to be.

Looks like a good project. I can relate to the work involved but it will make a cool ride when done.... Start on the worst stuff first and go downhill from there.

Nice save! I don't see anything that can't be fixed. Just a lot of work but it'll be worth it in the end.
