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

Thats what I'm talking about! :metal:

If you're ever in Salt Lake, feel free to stop by.

It's gonna be awesome!:metal: Did you shave the heater controls?

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

Lookin good Rob. You spraying that right there in the shop?

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

Damb that 4th door sure is going to screw things up:lol: Looks good on the spit. I am glad you changed out the tail lights, it looks so much better, too bad you could not widen the gate and hatch to match;)

Man What A Great Build!

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

This burb is starting to come along Rob!

Looks Great! :metal:

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

Thanks 3DR, I plan on making a trip up there when the family gets out here.

Yes, I'm going to install a VintageAir Gen IV unit. I'll put the controls where the old controls were.

We sprayed a little epoxy in the shop, but the high build was shot in our 27' paint booth.

Thanks man! Just checked out your build, its gonna be pretty sweet too.

I think I'll just stay with the "rare" 3 door instead of "ultra rare" 4 door, :lol:. Installing a truck tailgate would have probably been easier, :D. I don't know if the top is wide enough to strectch it the width of the tailgate. I'm sure you're working on something pretty cool on the back of yours, ;).

Thanks Jason. It doesn't seem like much progress, but it took about 60 man hours to get it to this point.

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

No I think I will just finish the 4th door and sell it as is. I have just way too many irons in the fire and my wife really really wants me to get things in the direction of me going full time with this so that means getting a few high end projects done for show pieces as well as a couple of street rod type builds for more advertising. So the burb will go and maybe even the crew cab that right now is just a good standard cab with suicide doors on it. I have a few small things to finish up on LowBuck, get our son's 51 F1 on the road with a full built chassis but a old barn find look to the body. Then their is her 63 GMC SWB (drop member, 20/22's, 5.3L/AOD bagged and a killer paint job on an arrow striate body) to get started on as well as my 2WD Blazer build.
Then throw on a hand full of customer builds that are currently on the books and I think I have a rather full plate. Sorry to rant on but I am board and wired from all the med's:lol:

I sprayed the under side with Eastwood's rust encapsulater and the top I whipped down with Pix-Lex rust preventer. Just wipe it down with a prep solve and start your finish work!

Thanks Kevin! That's gonna look sweet...........:metal:.

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

Rob, looking great!

Kevin, how much to get one of those shaved cowls?

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

Thanks Jamison. How's the CG going? Any progress on the truck(s)? You don't have a good 68 hood do you?

R/

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

Sorry this is one I owed Rob from awhile back and finally got around to complete it. If someone were to pay out right it would be upwards of $600 with a cowl, labor and over sized shipping!

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

I have been in Spain for the last 2 months learning to fly the new HC-144. I have made little to no progress on the truck. We are trying to sell our house and that took most of my time prior to leaving. I did put on rear disc brakes and a CPP master cylinder. I have 2 67/68 hoods, both are dented in the front. I am pretty sure I am only going to need one of them, get ahold of me when you get back into town.

Kevin, thanx for the reply. I can mess a few of the ones I have up for $600. Did you cut out the vent or just weld the patch over the top of it?

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

I tacked the filler piece over it then flipped it over and cut out the main vent, did some hammer work, re-installed and finished welding, Hamer and dolly some more and ground it down. Take your time as this mod is one of the hardest to do and the easiest to really screw up. With the cowl being so flat and flimsy it WILL buckle and twist real quick. The trick is knowing how to get it back into to shape after it goes nuts and still fit right.

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

Finally a cool update, the interior has some paint on it! :D.

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

ohh yea...progress, gotta love it!

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

Awesome! What color red are you using? (meaning factory or non factory color;))

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

It should be all red by the end of the week, :metal:.

Victory Red. I can get you the paint code if you need it.

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

Can't wait to see it.

I was just wondering if was a factory color because it looks similiar to the red on my '69. Mine was repainted, and I do not know what exact color it is.

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

I'm pretty certain it is a factory color. I'm using the same paint scheme and colors that are on the ECE Truck:

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

Yep. That is RED Rob. ;)

It looks great. Cannot wait to see the outside.

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

:agree: !!!

My S-10 is Victory Red, AWESOME color:metal:

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

NICE,bet you don't have more than $20 or $30 bucks in that RED paint? Again LOOKIN GOOD!

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

Rob that is looking wicked, can't wait to see the whole thing painted.:metal:

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

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

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

Fire Truck !!! :haha:

Look'n good :cool:

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

Beautiful choice of red!!!! Red is always a beautiful color but when you go with a rich, and deep red it is just pure eye candy!!!

Great job!

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

Hopefully tomorrow.......................:D

Thanks!

Yeah, go figure red is the most expensive color to buy....:(, almost $500 a gallon.......

Thanks, hopefully outside will be painted by tomorrow........

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

Finally fixed the ART lower shock mounts (they finally changed the design). What a pain, I had about an hour of cutting and grinding in each one......:( Oh, well they are fixed now and rollin' low shouldn't be a hazzard, :D.

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

I also got the oil pan figured out too. I tried the F-body pan, but it was about a 1/2" to long back to front. Soooooo, after a little more research, I got the Cadillac CSTv pan. It fits like a it was made to go there. It's 3/4" above the crossmember and I should never have to worry about hanging it on anything, :). Here are a couple of pictures and a link to a discussion on the different pans.
