I would say use the arms, and get round mirror heads for them.

I dig the build. Keep up the good work.

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

put 'em on something with handlebars

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

lol...

i think it looks kinda cool on there. just like peeps hanging from the door edge, just with a little flavor! all i would need to do is drill a small 3/8" hole and thread it from the backside. i wish i could get it stay on so i can stand back and take a pic..

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

I think they would work above your vent window better, but it's not my truck ;)

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

I vote a big no on those mirrors.

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

:agree::agree:

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

No offense, I just think they'd look better on a bike. Otherwise, I really enjoy reading your thread and the work you've done is great!...Keep it up!:metal:

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

^^^ thanks for checking out the build.

i posted up a poll just to see what everyone thinks. im kinda on the fence here, but if i would use them i would spray them gloss black and probably hang them on the door frame edge just in front of the vent window.

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

Kev, according to the rest of your build I think whatever you decide to do will be in the right direction.:metal:

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

i say go with them, i was gonna do the same thing to my burb ( think i had the idea first thou) haaaa;)...do it to it

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

lol, appreciate it!

after looking over them, and my poll...i dont think im gonna use them. i know everyone says its your truck, do what you want. but, in the end, its the positive comments that usually make or break an idea. plus, i was on the fence with them to begin with!


look what happened today, motor fell out of my truck! ;)

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

first time pulling a motor and it really wasnt that hard! i was surprised that the transmission just hit the floor..? i thought it was supposed to just stay where it should be..i got it held by a wire now to keep it off the floor..

now im going to get to work on sanding down the firewall, primer, and MAYBE paint it.

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

might want to check the trans to see if anything broke off, that happened to me when mine fell off the jack while putting it in :waah:

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

mine was never on a jack lol

it stayed put, but once i started rolling it back in the garage, i heard it land on the floor i guess. the only thing i can tell its that the bracket linkage that goes to the steering column came off, but i dont think it broke.

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

Z that bad boy now before you put it together. You'll regret it if you don't do it. Lol.
Do it all the cool kids are doing it.

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

lol...it was in the plans. but i had trouble getting good welds with the hobart 110 i was using when i welded the axle brackets in the back. made me a little nervous to z the front...

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

I know you can find someone local that can do the welding. When my front end comes apart here soon it's on baby!! Lol

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

good idea on the welding, maybe i could cut it, set it up and tack it and find someone to weld it back up.

i have a few weeks to figure it out i guess, my time frames are always off so it might be longer lol

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

been waiting to see some progress from your burb!

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!

im thinking of shaving up the wiper hole too, but if i do, where can i re route them? i dont even remember where they went, so maybe i wont need them?

heres a pic of the diagram i been following to help me out..

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

seems like there would more shaved up inside the trans tunnel..couldnt i weld up the oil line hole too..? maybe run it through the floor or something...not sure.

give some feedback plz..i would like to get this thing primed up this week then start the body work!

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

i RAN EVERYTHING i COULD THREW THE TRANS TUNNEL...

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

I would shave the wiring harness hole, wiper, and oil pressure line. It would be real easy to modify them and run them through the tunnel out of sight!

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

ditto, i think the wiper hole and oil line hole are gone by tomorrow night!

i was trying to take off the fuse block to try to figure something out, but i couldnt even get it off! i think i may leave it though, because the wiring hole next to it has all my air lines and switchbox wiring...but i guess i could reroute that too....hmmmmmm

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

Do it now or you will be kickin yourself in the butt later when you wished you would have done it when you had the chance..

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

little more done today..i made my own filler plate for the passenger side...and i shouldve just ordered one from nate lol

it wasnt too hard making a template..but i believe i warped the crap out of the metal. i planned on using tig rods to make the round edge, so now im hoping this straightens some of it out too. still have to grind some of the edges down to get a better shape..but you get the idea. heres a few pics..

hoping to finish this up tomorrow...maybe by then i will make up my mind about the oil sending line hole and wiper hole ;)

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

It looks great, can't wait to see that whole burb in primer!

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

i cant wait either lol

i really didnt plan on doing all this work to the firewall...just shave the heater holes and strip it. now im trying to eliminate everything lol. if i can get this cleaned up this week then i will spray it on saturday, maybe sunday!

now im thinking i might as well clean and paint the subframe..but i REALLY dont want to. damn how these projects turn into snowballs!

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

HAHAHAHA!!! I think most of us have been there!:metal:

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

I've got a snowball project going at my house too...

But thanks for all the updates. Your photos have helped to answer more than a few questions.

This thread made me buy a 70 suburban!

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

cool! whats the plans for it?


stopped by lowes today to buy some tig rods. i took a page from nates book...lined one up along the edge of the backside..welded it up. supposed to make it look like a curved look like the original lip along the top of the firewall. im happy how it turned out, and it also help straighten out my warped crap i did earlier lol. just needs a little filler to finish it off!

looking very nice kevin no more waterfalls behind the dash!!!!! :lol::lol:

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

thanks!

i thought about capping it off but i really dont want to do all that work and grinding! im happy with the holes i filled up on it, so it should at least look "smooth" lol

hoping to finish off grinding and stripping it today!

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
 

shot some primer yesterday..only got to spray one coat because it started raining outside. i was having problems with my gun, it wouldnt spray nice and even, couldnt get on the bottom of the underside.. and also the primer came out real shiney because it had been sitting for a few months. i will take it to a paint shop to get it shook before spraying again.

hoping to lay some filler tomorrow or sunday!
