Good Looking Suburban Warwgn, Like the bug my first car was a 69 bug that I converted to a BAJA, they are so much fun.
Since the body was rusted out along the heater chanel I ordered new bottom plates but the seem to be very thin so I cut some 16 gage to double it up. Then cut the old stuff out and bolted the new plates in and put the body back on and now welding it to the plates. Made good progress but have a long way to go to finish this phase of the project.
gonna weld the first bit up inside and out then start puss in more in to close it all up. Gonna take a couple days but at least it wi be solid. Then can take the body back off to finish weld and fix the front fire wall and rear page tray.

that is alot of rust ..sure that it did not come from a northern snow state ..you are making great progress
Not sure if I missed it somewhere, but what sort of engine is going in? Really enjoying the build thread! Also, I feel a bit weird asking this but I see a woman in many of the photos. Is that you? If so, then it's great to see a woman doing such great work, if not, then it's great work all the same!
Gonna be just a sock 1600 for now, but will upgrade soon to 1835 or 2180 or somewhere in there.
the lady in the pics is my wife, she likes to help when she can, mostly paint and some cleaning but she gets to spend some extra time with me that way. I love having her help and most of the time it is very useful but alot of it just to be together.

Outer Rocker panels fully welded in from the door post ro the wheel well, now gotta cut the two front wheel well outer and two inner for the door to back. After those are all welded I will cut and weld the fronts then comes the cover plates (that is what I will call them) and they will be at an angle to go from the rocker down to the bottom plate where it meets the floor.
