Re: The 72 burb.Starting a collection...
 

The truck and car shop didn't work out...I got stuff from classic industries.They had everything and it was almost $100 cheaper.New windshield,rubber,inner & outer rocker and front floor brace for $178 out the door.My boss was like "i cant believe you got all this stuff for under $200".He bought the stuff too.I gotta pay him back,but man i feel pretty lucky sometimes.I wouldn't have been able to afford this stuff right now.Thanks boss!
I got the donor piece kinda in there now.It'll take a full day of fitting before its time to weld.Looks like im probably not guna make my week deadline.Unless i kick serious ass tomorrow.Its cool.I can finish it up throughout the week.

Be careful with the pillar placement. Just tack it until you're sure the glass is going to fit correctly.

Re: The 72 burb.Starting a collection...
 

Are you going to put the windshield in first, or how are you going to know you've got the pillar exactly right? I've just always shied away from trucks with the roof "eyebrow" rust because I was afraid if I tried to patch it I'd never get the windshield back in. I really admire your willingness to tackle this.

Re: The 72 burb.Starting a collection...
 

Yeah i will use the old or new windshield as a guide and i have a pickup to take measurements from if needed.Thanks bro.ill make it look good.Im going to kick butt tomorrow.

I did this mod on a bug at work.

Re: The 72 burb.Starting a collection...
 

Headed in a good direction on the A pillar! Bug came out nice.

Re: The 72 burb.Starting a collection...
 

Thanks bro.my boss does the filler/final sanding stuff but hes teaching me.To me thats the hardest part.The final sanding.I need to convince the wife to let me get another couple few days on the burb.Im supposed to start back working again on Monday(haven't worked for 2 months) but i need to get the burb done.Ill let you know how it goes.

Big window to small window bug. Just the opposite of what most of the 60-66 owners want to do. lol

Re: The 72 burb.Starting a collection...
 

60-66 chevy trucks?

Re: The 72 burb.Starting a collection...
 

Got it in today.Tomorrow will be finishing up the welds and putting the glass in.Since i took too long on this one,ill have to finish the rocker and the floor at home.At least the A pillar will be in and i can put the door on to drive it home.

Re: The 72 burb.Starting a collection...
 

Yes. The big back window cabs seem to be more popular for some reason while there were lots more of the small window made. I think this carries over into
'67 also, by 68 or so there was no more small back window.

Looks like it's coming back together nicely. What are your plans for the hole in the roof? Same donor?

Re: The 72 burb.Starting a collection...
 

Yeah i think they stopped with the small window mid 67.

Thanks!I came up short on the donor piece so ill have to make a filler piece.I was afraid of this.That's why i wanted to do this repair here.The boss has all the metal shaping tools.I have to finish all the metal work on the roof and put the windshield in tomorrow.

Re: The 72 burb.Starting a collection...
 

Looks like quite a bit to me. Good work.

Re: The 72 burb.Starting a collection...
 

Thanks!I'm hoping i can get the glass in tomorrow.I need to finish welding those patches in then grind and some filler.It will be so nice to be able to open this door without it falling off.

Re: The 72 burb.Starting a collection...
 

Got it in.

Re: The 72 burb.Starting a collection...

Re: The 72 burb.Starting a collection...
 

Thanks bro!Im glad i got it done.I was a happy boy yesterday.opening and closing the door a bunch of times...today im guna put the hood and fender on and drive it home.I may take a brake on the burb for a couple weeks so i can work on the truck.

Re: The 72 burb.Starting a collection...
 

Re: The 72 burb.Starting a collection...
 

Really nice!

Re: The 72 burb.Starting a collection...
 

Thanks!Im trying to decide if i want to put my visor on the burb.I might try it out later.

Re: The 72 burb.Starting a collection...
 

Don't believe I've ever seen one. Looking forward to seeing how it looks.

Re: The 72 burb.Starting a collection...

Re: The 72 burb.Starting a collection...
 

It looks really good!

Re: The 72 burb.Starting a collection...
 

Thanks.I think it looks meaner with the visor on it.I was thinking i want to make a mold of it so i can make 2 new ones. one for the burb and one for the truck.
