Yesterday
My wife decided to run her SHO through a barbed wire fence. She's OK 3 stitches in her left arm is all. Thank God!!!
But MY panel has to take a back seat to My Wonderful wifes baby,
I guess this is good because I could use the practice. and since its Black this will do and I want my UAV (Urban Assault Vehicle)'Suburban', back I need to get it done here's A couple of picks for your entertainment.

left rear tire broke the bead.

Funny thing is the guy I bought this from has another 89
and I also sectioned another 89 for him a couple of years ago.
His son lives in a higher altitude up the road from here about 40 miles a way and he hit a deer with his beefed up SHO
so he thought it would be a go idea to have another one ready to go if it happened again.

Now his son is a sheriff deputy and drives 4dr trucks and bought one for his POV and lost interest in SHO business.
About two weeks ago my friend said If I need any thing SHO related parts to give him a call. after he dropped of three 3.0 DOHC engines, two running one for parts.
This is the seconded SHO I've bought from him I sold the first because I had 5 great running cars at the time and didn't need the insurance bill.
May be he knows something I don't??? He is a judge.

Been a while, birth Mother in law came for a twilight zone visit, wow what a strange woman.( my wife was adopted, they are great people)
But the SHO is back on road. replace the drivers door and will replace all doors both sides found more rust than I like.
The front bumper I left on But I did get another one Which I will modify after I swap engines in out of my 77 GMC into my One ton and set up EFI in the 77 out of a 93 caprice I own, Parts Car keeping all mechanical and wiring put if you need any sheet metal or lamps drop me a line,
had to replace steering knuckle lt, and inner tie rod right.
Replaced rear bumper, I had a little EXO-rust, Black, and some Acrylic hardener left over from a snow plow I built for a friend, so I thought I'd shoot the rear bumper with it just to see what it would look like, DANG turned out pretty nice.
I couldn't stand seeing an ugly gray Bumper on my wife's Car. not a bad shine, a little satin like but OK.
also replaced head lamps and header pictures to fallow.

Glad to hear no one got hurt.
Barbed wire very rarely loses in a battle.

I just jammed the doors but no paint left for the rest after the hospital($2500 1 1/2 hrs and exrays), ambulance ride($855 for 2 miles WOW) and Her fine is paid, then I'll work on the rest. I don't like it this way but it runs great and may be I'll call it the X-police car for now.
The doors on the other side look the same way might as well get rid of the rust since the parts were so cheep.

The rear bumper was painted and the doors were jammed with EX-o-rust and surprise it matched.

Maybe in Alaska the paint shops prefer it there, or not. who knows.
Thanks for looking and asking about my wife. It shows what good people are out there still.
