Sorry man. I got in a big hurry when I left FL and I forgot to take the money shot! I've got the frame pretty much done with the motor and tranny all bolted in. I should finish GLOCK's disc brake conversion and my fuel setup when I go back home in February. Hopefully the body will be ready to wet sand at that point also. I'll snap some more photo's then............:)

i've been watching this build, looking like some paint is being laid down, keep up the progress, love the color.:metal:

Darn military life. Sheesh you think Uncle Sam would know the burb is more important. :D ;)

Thanks! You gotta love Victory Red! Hopefully, it will all be painted by April/May.

I have to take some of the blame. I could have stayed in PCola and retired, but a Commanding Officer's job was to hard to turn down.

Ya buyin' that LS1? :ito: :devil:

Here's a quick flashback......:uhmk:

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

Couple of quick shots with the motor and tranny installed. The factory fuel lines look like they were designed to go there, :). I'm going to switch from dual lines to a single line due to a small "upgrade" I'm adding, :D.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

I also started installing the rear discs using, Glock's brackets. I'm running them on the front side of the axle just like Frizzle Fry (monkey see, monkey do :)). I still haven't got all my parts in yet, so I will probably have to finish them the next time I come in (March). Hopefully, the prototype headers will be in by then too. :metal:

Looking real good Rob.

Check out the Doug Thorley headers!!!!! Youll need to use a set of plug wires:

Looks really nice! Get that thing finished and bring it to New Mexico!
Have a safe trip home.

did they ever come up with a price for those yet?

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

I don't think so. I don't even think these have a part number yet since they are prototypes. I'm sure they'll be listed soon.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

Thanks John, hopefully sometime in June it will be headed that way....:D.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

wow that looks reaaally good! i hope my new project comes out half a decent .... if so it will be killer! your burb is gonna be amazing!

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

Well, I spent a little over two weeks at home, but due to a jaw surgery (broken on both sides and moved forward, :(), I didn't get much done. I was saving this as a suprise, but I might as well throw some pictures of it on here now since it was the only progress I made. I'm hoping for 450-500 HP with the new addition.........

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

NICE! That is one of the nicest setups I have seen. You should feel bad putting us all to shame! Just kidding.

Now I am jealous....:waah:

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

Thanks Mike. I had to do something to make the motor look better since I put the nice looking headers on.

Thanks John, I wish I was a lot closer to having it back on the road. :D

:lol:

Thanks Josh.

Naaaaa, its a stock MagnaCharger setup.

That's quite an achievement considering all of your cool toys, :metal:.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

I just spent an hour plus reading this thread, and all I can say is WOW! You give a young guy like me definite motivation to get my 72 super shorty done! Just need to order bedsides and I think I have all the parts, just need to do something with em!! thanks for the thread, and I can't wait to see the finished burb!

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

was just lookin back at the firewall and wandered if he had started on the exterior yet?

side note...how'd she break your jaw?:uhmk:

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

Thanks for the kind words. Good luck with your 72.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

The exterior is being worked on, but you know how those painters are, ;).

Answer to the second question, I brought one to many projects home, :lol:.

Actually, it was a scheduled surgery to repair my bite. It's something that needed to be done for a long time, but I just never got around to doing it. However, my bite was getting worse, so I decided now was the time. The surgery itself was not so bad, I've been in very little pain. I did have some swelling but, the worse part ended up being a virus I caught after I got home.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

WOW, getting sick when your jaw is wired shut would be the worst. I hope it wasn't a stomach virus.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

It was more of an upper respitory virus (lots of coughing and sinus problems). Luckily the didn't wire my jaws (they put in 3 screws on each side), but the coughing was pretty painful. Take care.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

that supercharger looks nearly perfect... only way it could be better is if it was under the hood of my 05 Tahoe!.... mind if I ask what the going rate for a setup like that is?

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

:lol:, thanks Mike. New ones retail for $5,500. You can usually picke up a good used one for around $3K-3.5K. I got mine from a board member, BigTex, for pretty fair deal. Take care,

Here's some pictures of the HPC coated set. Once again, BZ to Jamie at DTH, :metal:.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

Got some body work done this last week. The entire body is in hi-build and ready for block sanding. First pictures are in epoxy. With any luck, maybe it will be painted by the next time I go home, :ito:.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

I am so glad to see progress on the burb. Take your time to get the body straight. I can't wait to see some color on this thing! When you get done, this build will be the one to set the bar for other to follow. Keep up the good work.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

Thanks man, I can't wait to get it done and drive it again. The supercharger should make for an entertaining ride, :D. As far as the body work, it's already been blocked a couple of times and we have about 4 more times to go. We're trying to get it painted so I can haul it to NM next month when I move the family out. Here's some more pics in hi-build.....
