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............:)

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.

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:

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....)
 

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.........
