Metalwork in process - my Highlander

Body shop is making quick work of Rockers and a couple of minor patches on my med olive Highlander. I am going to skip the full paint job till next winter, but going to get this home, get interior back in it, get the 330 HP GM crate motor in it and enjoy it this summer...

By the way, I am pleased with the quality of the replacement sheetmetal from GMCPaul's.

I'll tag along if you don't mind, did you have to do a lot of inside B pillar work?

Thanks

Re: Metalwork in process - my Highlander

I've replaced rockers before in a 71 I had. I got them from lmc about 10 years ago and were utter junk. I had to do a lot of work to get things to line up. You must have the sister truck to mine.

The insides of the B pillars were fine. The Blazer is sitting patiently waiting in the garage, will be heading to paint hopefully by Christmas. Goal is to have it done by spring
