I hope you have a pair of extra hands. Also, no beer drinking until after the parts have been hung.
Good luck,

You are a better Dad than I am. I promised my daughter that the Suburban would be ready for her senior-year high school prom, but it was not ready until her last year in college.
Looks good - good luck,

Naa the Interior was done by my Uncle in Houston Texas ..yrs ago ..the biggest pain in my resto so far has been savin his work ..I removed all the glass an did as much as i could for paint prep , the Body man did his part to keep the interior sound ..an free from overspray an general DIRT ...so we have worked together to save Unc's work ..to try an remove the interior trim that is done SOOO nice would destroy it as it ia all glued in and steamed in place ...It has been a Labor of Love !..an when it is done I will be showin pics of his other pcs. I have saved ..his custom rear bumper an hand made tool box that fits the bed and angles to within an 1/8" ..that is pretty cool !
THANKS ALL for your nice comments !
