Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
What type of roof racks are they? I'm looking for something similar to throw a couple of fishing Kayaks on. I agree a stock roof rack would look great, but not practical for what I need too. A rail mount that can be removed is just the ticket!
|
Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
they are drip rail mount yakima racks, we don't have the keys and stuff for them, and if i end up using them like i want to do, i will need to make or buy longer cross bars for them as these do not spread wide enough apart with the ones in their now :)

the mirrors (originals from a 73-87 c10) i will be running that i bought for $14 off the board a while back, just need to find 1 more mounting bracket as it didnt come with any, and then buy some mirror gaskets. oh! and they will be getting scuffed up and painted black as well :)
Attachment 766937 Attachment 766938 Attachment 766939 oh! and 1 more thing.... does anyone know what i can do to help hide the scratches in the mirror face?? thanks. |
Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
nice choice on the mirrors..they look pretty sleek..
still tryin to figure some out on mine..but i think i might go with no mirrors. maybe just buy some clip on peeps. i like the smooth look ;) what are you using for seatbelts with that bench seat? |
Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
thanks, i may still get new mirrors for it later though, probably the sport style mirrors that are correct for this body style, but these were cheap enough so i will run them for a while :)
yah i like the smooth look as well but i also like to be able to see better, and i don't want to have to worry about getting pulled over by the popo for it, cause then they will probably give me tickets for other things as well :( seat belts..... what are those??? jk jk lol. i haven't had seatbelts in this thing since i have owned it, (neither does my daily driver 70 beetle) i will most likely be putting some in though, but it will just be some retractable lap belts when i do |
Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
looks good! you have prety good fab skills!
|
Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
thanks Rick, my fab skill are way far from the best, but i try lol. they would be alot better if i had a good welder. but this pos harbor freight flux core welder that i use halfway gets me by for some light non structural stuff. it sucks horribly bad for body work though, so i will not use it for that if i don't have to, which i don't, because i haven't done any patch panel replacement, and wont, till i can afford a good mig welder for that. :)

They look nice but I think you may benefit as I did from putting them up on the top of the jam. Gives that gangster low profile look, and then you can fill all those holes. |

freshly tinted windshield, looks way darker in the pic then it really is though :lol:
Attachment 768555 |
Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
looks good!
|
Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
thanks Rick, when i get some more spare money (only $20) i need to go get my limo strip put on across the top of the windshield :) then it will be done tint wise on the windshield.
the rest of them need redone, but that will be at a even later date. :lol: |
Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
i know how it is i need to sell my passenger fender to get some cash or i can use it to peice together the front end for my dads truck
|
Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
damn that looks dark..lol
looks like the front windshield has a tint on it..i like it! hey, when are paint in the plans? |
Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
haha thanks.
the whole windshield is tinted, its done in a medium which is the darkest they would go, their is 1 more shade above it before limo which is what i wanted, but they wouldnt do it that dark. im kind of glad though, because i actually like it how it is. need to go back when i get some more money and have them put a limo strip across the top of it though. paint is way far from ever being done, it needs a lot of body work before then. plus, i am gonna get it all done suspension and drive train wise before paint ever happens. it looks ok enough for now :) |

my new/used free temporary rear bumper, did a lot of hammering/pounding on it to get it looking half way decent and strait, but hey i cant complain to much it was free :metal:
:waah: now i just need to get a set of bumper brackets from a truck, or rear frame pieces to weld back on from a suburban for the inner brackets area. then i would only need one outer left bracket then. and it will also be painted black before it is installed Attachment 770421 Attachment 770422 |
Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
haha i looked at the bumper and before i read anything i was thinking i wonder how nice its going to look in black lol
|
Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
:lol:
|
Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
you get the bumper installed yet? IF SO YOU BETTER HAVE PICS
|
Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
haha. nah its standing up in the corner of my garage lookin just like those pics, i need to get some brackets and figure out how im gonna run the exhaust tips since they will be in the way now. rather it be run them through holes in the bumper, half circle cutouts in the bottom of the bumper, or through the side of the body behind or in front of the rear tire
|
Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
