Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
Hey Juan,
Any chance of getting some pic's of the Scott's tank you mentioned in one of the other threads? I'm very interested in doing the same thing with my burb, but wanted to see how you had it setup after shortening the filler neck and all. Thanks, as always!!! |
Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
He clt the tank hangs down 5 inches below the frame in "prebuilt" form. Justin said he can weld the mounting tabs higher or lower on the tank to clear your specs. I'll post a pic of the tank as soon as I can.

Pulled the frame out to clean it up and paint it. Also going to run my air lines and brake lines while I'm at it. Posted via Mobile Device |
Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
^^^^^^ very cool!

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
I'm trying to gather the nerve to separate my body from the frame. Difficult? Tricks or tips you can give us?
|
Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
It wasn't bad really. Me and a buddy did it in about 45 min. The pita part is the rear body mounts that love to spin in the wood. If you have not notched the rear yet you'll be good. I had to lift the body up sooo high to get the frame notches to clear the floor board.
Go for it man. Posted via Mobile Device |
Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
Cool. She's not notched (yet), but she will be by the time the frame rolls back under. I'll definitely need to compensate for the height difference. Thanks, as always!

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
Ok got the rear susp all done. I started cleaning and prepping the frame for a good coat of paint. Then it's time to run brake lines, gas lines and I'm going to give the SS air lines a try. From what I've read the ss lines grab and hold on in the air fittings really good. Hoping to roll it out is the shop this weekend and power wash it all down and start painting it. I'm so ready to be done with this part of the build.
I need a picture to see what the rear of the frame is sup to look like. I removed the hitch the PO had put in there and need to see the rear most section of the frame and the bumper brackets. If you have some pics feel free to post them up.

I hope to start running lines next week. She rolled out of the garage for a good scrub down today. Then drip dry while I cleaned the shop up. The milk crates worked out good to get it off the ground so I could clean it all up. Thinking of what coating to do on the underside of the Burb? Should it be done before frame goes back under it?

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
Looks good! Do the undercoatingi before you put it back on the frame.....:)

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
Thanks guys. It rained all last week which is good for me bc I work out side so I didn't work much. Bad news is I started a house project that is now almost done. Back on the Burb this week. Wife wanted a wall moved, pantry expanded, and wall taken down. Painting tomorrow and scratch it off the list.

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
Rained like crazy here today. I needed to build a stand for my vise and my grinder. I had some scrap left over and this is what I came up with. Took about an hour.

I figured it will help out with vibrations with the grinder. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
Ok so finally got some stuff going on. I ordered a bunch of stuff and got it all in. Energy susp body bushing kit, 7inch brake booster for the under dash brake set up from Scott's hot rods. Also got the wiper shave panel in. On my frame I have to run brake lines and file lines. I don't know why in dreading doing brake lines... But I am. Ill suck it up and get it done lol.
Also got my new air valves in from dloe. Very nice quality and can't wait to hook them up. http://i891.photobucket.com/albums/a...2370341C3E.jpg http://i891.photobucket.com/albums/a...23932DD8A7.jpg http://i891.photobucket.com/albums/a...23C2AA2B21.jpg http://i891.photobucket.com/albums/a...23C84899AB.jpg Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
Well today it was raining for the 5th straight day. I had to do something to keep me from going insane so today I got the 396 torn down and ready for the machine shop. It was in really good shape as she came apart. I was quite pleased. She will get cleaned and checked then reassembled with a couple goodie parts. I'm going for more of a stock looking motor, clean and simple with a kick. My buddy is a corvette freak And just got another one. Number 6 for him, it's a 67 427 vette.
Motor should be about a week or so at machine shop then another week or so to finish it up. http://i891.photobucket.com/albums/a...16ABA1870B.jpg http://i891.photobucket.com/albums/a...16B4CF589D.jpg http://i891.photobucket.com/albums/a...16CD0B71D4.jpg http://i891.photobucket.com/albums/a...16E46E3690.jpg http://i891.photobucket.com/albums/a...16F3AD443A.jpg Posted via Mobile Device |
