We got the two inch strip tacked in place to lower the wheel opening. We finally got the Easy Grind mig wire today so we can start welding the body panels back together later this week.

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
We finished the welding on the two inch strip yesterday. Today we got started on the body panels. We started on the passenger side. The seam took some massaging to get it to line up. i guess the factory allowed some variation from front to back.

 Today we got the drivers side partly welded. Then we decided to fit the wheel well so we extended the wheel center line. Then test fit the wheel well and found it had to be trimmed to fit between the front and rear braces

Re: My suburban's Twisted Little Sister
Had a few days off but we're back now. We spent some time with the hammer and dolly on the weld. Then we fit the wheel opening panel
