Re: 53 Surburban "Family Truckster"

Anyone with an AD Suburban knows how difficult it can be to find a set of interior window trim. My friend Eugene (Alaska gasser) gave me a smokin deal on a set that needed some repair. I had one trim piece for each shaped side window that was in good shape. I started with a sheet of scrap MDF and traced the shape of the trim. Then I nailed scrap wood around the trim. I wanted to be able to keep the shape while I cut out the bad spots in an effort to weld in new metal. The trick is to take passenger or driver side door trim and cut it up to repair the bad sectons since the Suburban trim is not reproduced.

Here are some pics. Welding to come.

Thanks
Marc
