Re: Beelzeburb, The Story More Than a Decade in the Making
How dare you! Ive been cooped up in my bed reading this since 8:45, it is now 11:06 and you, Sir, are responsible for there now being a very long and detailed list sitting on my bed! This now turns my spark plug and manifold gasket change into a drivetrain-all-at-once rebuild...
Seriously though, very well written and easy read you have here. I love the detail and time you put into your burb, its inspired me to go to the extra effort and do mine right the first time. -Webb |

Much busy.
Run around lots. So work. Why many things? Been super occupied lately. Wife and I bought a 75 year old house and we've been in renovation / restoration mode for two months solid now (seriously, who would cover quarter sawn 3/4" white oak floors with linoleum and then carpet?). Sometime this summer I get to install my garage door and move all my tools & equipment over. Yes, I finally have a garage space of my own. And yes, a 12' long carpet remnant will fit inside the Suburban, as will a 9'x7' garage door new in box. Since last posting I've taken care of some maintenance items on the Suburban. Mostly just replacing some steering wear items and a few other fixes here and there, but I'll cover those with a real post on a future date when I've got some time again. In the meantime, enjoy a picture from the curb this week as I was getting ready to drive it to work. http://www.renderanything.com/vehicl...r_driveway.jpg |

He said it's an engine enamel made by Pioneer: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...&postcount=474
Sorry to hear about the surface rust popping up everywhere. Everyone always says how great por15 is but I don't believe in painting anything without putting down primer first. I've done it in the past and it's always come back to bite me in the ass, never again. I've always had good luck with rustoluem rusty metal primer and gloss black on top of that, I add enamel hardener to it as well and that makes it even better. The only problems ive come across is having the black start peeling after several years because of me not properly scuffing the primer. So either spray the black while the primer is still wet or sand it once it's dry. |
Re: Beelzeburb, The Story More Than a Decade in the Making
I dig this story so much. What is happening with the 510? THAT is a great story, seem like a lot of fun. Hope the truck is running well for you.

Re: Beelzeburb, The Story More Than a Decade in the Making
I did the 4-wheel 280ZX disc brake and dual SU carb swap on the 510, and it is pretty much ready to drive again. Just need to bleed the brake lines and mock up a bracket to hold the e-brake cables.
My current (always growing) list of things-to-do goes something like this: Finish current renovations inside the house Install garage door on workshop at the back of the house Move tool box, tools, bench, compressors, etc... to my house Park 240Z inside garage Drive 510 to house, park in driveway Start working on vehicles again I'd have been quite far along on that list, but we had our first child born toward the end of last year, and, well, she's either too cute or fussy to get away from for long. This winter the Suburban's odometer did finally roll over 6,000 miles since being back on the road. Quite low, I know, but I bike to work and use the Suburban mostly for bad weather driving, errands or the occasional bit of fun driving. |

The gas tank did it fit in frame rails or did you have to cut or shave anything? |
Re: Beelzeburb, The Story More Than a Decade in the Making
Looks exactly like how I did my fuel tank.
40 gallon R/V body Suburban tank and straps. Relocated cross-member and sourced another to hold the straps. And relocated the filler neck. The width, length, and height are perfect. |
