My SLOSH TUBZ made it in today!! I'm so stoked to get them installed. This will get me going on the burb again!! I also got the shop framed in so next week the exterior walls go up!!! I can't wait. My dads really good friend is an awesome body and paint guy. He has just moved back to Florida and needs work. I'm flying him up in 2 weeks to look at the burb and I'm sure he will start working on it. I hope it all works out.
More updates really soon

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

The wheels have changed and I'm thinking of doing a top bananna smoothie bumper in front. My concern is if I do the front roll pan I want to weld all the seams together. I never thought it would be a bi deal but look at XXL truck and what he had to do the repair.

What do you guys think.

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

I am likin the green myself. There are a lot of blues and oranges out there.

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

Yup. Broke my own rule of one project at a time. Live and learn. Nova should be in paint this weekend so she will be done. Shop walls up this week hopefully. Then I can focus on my truck again.

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

A very good day, the nova is gone to paint. Now I get to clean the garage and work on the burb again!! I can't wait. First order of business is to pull the body off the frame again and run fuel lines, brake and air lines. I have decided to clean and paint the 396 and put it back in here. A ls2 swap is what I'd like to do but that just is not in the cards. Anywho I know you guys like pics so here they are

I told the painter who is hart robs buddy Todd crutchfield to black out the car. Everything but the wheels should be black!! I had to do something different to it, didn't want to go through all of this time and work and make it look like it did 6 years ago.

She's back home. I'm going to order new handles and have them painted black to match. She goes in for some tuning and I have a small tranny leak that needs to be found. Other then that time to drive her. Looking into some CPP drop spindles and rear drop leafs or 4 bar set up. Would love to bag it but not real sure. Thanks for the idea Raul I blame you for that one with te 4x4 comment. Lol

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

Superb build thread so far! Think I'll be looking into the Scott's front member as well after seeing yours. The stance is PERFECT! Can you tell me what backspacing your running on the front smoothies? Is the Scott's unit narrowed as well? Looks awesome with the rears out and the fronts tucked in like that!!!

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 

Thanks man. I am really happy with the full set up. The smoothies only come in one backspace in the 20's. I want to say 5 1/4 I think. They have been sold and the new ones put on.
