I got the Hoe running good, then I push on the brake pedal and blew a brake line upfront that was rusted,. It runs across the front to the right wheel, it's kind of hard to get to, but the good thing is, once I pull the front clip off , I will have easy access to it, and that's the next order of business to pull the front end off.

Bumped it out and put a little extra urethane in there, no leaks

I notice on the passenger side that your frame is still bend in pretty bad. Have you gotten to a shop yet to see if they can pull that out for you?

The front end of the frame is mangled, I have to chop off 8 inches, go to the junk y, cut off a new 8 in , and weld it on. So I can mount the center support and bumper properly. I found the donor Suburban at the JY with the center support already removed. As matter if fact I got a pic of the Burb.
I put it together temporarily, so I could start it and move it , I still have to pull the center support back off but, I don't have to remove the radiator, just raise it up. I made a big boo boo, tore it apart in the wrong place, I need it where I can reach it with the 220V welder that has a short cord :lol2:

Cool :waytogo: Once all the repairs have been made you should have a real clean Hoe on your hands :)
