That rack looks sweet.:metal: Now I feel the peer pressure to put one of those on mine.:smoke:

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Umm.... I heard that rack was stolen from another member.....

:exit:

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

I bet you would have never thought you would have guys telling you that you have a nice rack, but they do have a point!

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Outstanding!!!!!!!:metal: Al likes it alot......

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

man, that's looking awesome Rob...you gonna throw a surfboard on that rack? i wish i was still in Pensacola to see this thing in person...guess i'll have to make a special trip back down there sometime to visit the cruise-in when you get it finished

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

It's an Entropy radiator. The guys sells them off of ebay. It was pricey, but it makes running the hoses a little cleaner and it should keep the S/C cool, :). The Speartech harness is very nice. John made some modifications for me to incorporate the Magnacharger so everything should fit and work well togther.

Thanks Mike. I think you should run the spears on yours also....;).

Thanks Nate. How's the water pump coming? You're not going to slip an LS in there while you're changing the pump out R U??? :)

And you should.....

:lol:, at least the "thief" put a substitute in it's place......:devil:

:lol:

Thanks Al. When r u going to come pick this blazer up????? ;)

Thanks and come on down.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Rob it is going round and round in my mind :lol: but I am playing with my sons 2wd for now so I am getting my fix......

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Looking really good Rob. Nice work.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

GORGEOUS!
We need to get our's side by side for some Red/White photos!

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Lookin good

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

No worries. Let me know if you change your mind, "something" needs to go, :).

Thanks!

Sounds good! I'm going to try and have it done by Cruizin the Coast. Do you have any plans that weekend??? :D

Thanks Kev. I've been keeping up with the progress on yours and you're doing a super job.

Thanks Rob! I'm looking forward to hearing a video clip of your BadA$$ Arias.

Not much new progress. I've been finishing some details on the 68 trying to get it ready for a leg or two of the 2010 Power Tour and today I'm heading to Va Bch for a week to deliver this 67 Corvette Convertible for a buddy of mine. Wouldn't this make a nice garage mate for the Burb????!!!!! If I only had an extra $35K............:lol:.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Rob ,
what legs of the power tour are you planning on making ?

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Looks like we're driving up to Birmingham and coming down from there. Let me know what you guys are going to do.

Welcome! I dropped the Vette off at it's new home in Newport News. I hate an empty trailer sooooooo, I picked up a littlle something on my return trip, :devil:.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

You just can't stop, can you? :lol:

What are the plans for it?

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

LoL I wish it were me! I can't seem to start!
I have boxes on top of boxes!
I just need there to be more hours in a day! :lol:

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

you should have made a visit to PA... you were only 5 hours away!

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

It's a disease....:lol:. I don't even know yet, but I'm sure I'll figure something out.....

I know where you're coming from.....:devil:

Hopefully next time I'll be able to run by. I would love to make a trip up in the Burb at some point....

****
Small progress, but progress none the less. I've been focusing on the 68 trying to get it ready for the last leg of the PowerTour, but I did get my upper and lower hoses figured out. I just need to work on the radiator mounts and then the cooling system will be done. I picked up some adapters from Docs Blocks for the a/c also. Looks like they will have to be modified slightly to make them work, but what else is new....:lol:.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Looking great, Rob !! I'll be in Mobile for Power Tour and will keep an eye out for the '68. You plan on being in the downtown area Friday evening ??

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

This is one of my favorite builds!
Are there any plans for OnStar or the paskeyIII Systems?

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

i was gonna say that Vette musta been right on your ass the whole trip. i wish i could score a frame like that.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

I'll be there! Give me a call and we'll meet up.

Thanks! Probably not....:).

It was! Come get it...:).

Here's some pictures of the custom upper and lower trim...

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

WOW man that thing gets better every time i see it

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Your using the "stick on" lower trim right? What about the upper trim? If I remember right it is all Mar-K?

Wow... how about a few questions. :D

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Thanks Cheby.

All of the trim is Mar-K. I'll be using their stick on clips. The upper trim is "custom" fit for the suburbans now and available for purchase. I'll post more pictures when I put it all on.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Rob that thing is looking amazing!!!

Good quality on the trim? I need to pick up a set of wood trim in the future (not for my '69) and am looking for a nice set.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

lovin' the roof rack...

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

WOW! Looks great! Amazing attention to detail Rob.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

That chrome looks great! I think it's really the only way to go with a burb or a long truck. It's really surprising to me how many people don't like the upper and lower trim. This is a first class build. Wish I had the bucks to go as far as you have!

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Looks GREAT!! Is it done yet?

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Sorry so slow on responses but I started a new career this week and It's been long days.

Mar-K makes very nice trim. I've heard people say on par with or better than NOS. They build it theirself in the Heartland of America, :D.

Thanks! I think it really sets it off.

Thanks! I've been keep up with you and your squarebody truck, It's going to be nice.

Thanks MC. The trim certainly helps break it up and not look like a limo, :).

Thanks! Still working on it......:waah:......:lol:.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

New job?!?!....It's hard being retired I guess!?!?!:D

What are ya doing now??

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Good luck with new career!

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Are you coming to Springdale???

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Management for Target...

Thanks Rick.

Not yet. I'm still trying to figure out how to make that happen. Maybe in a year or so....

***

Slow go on the Burb, but here are a couple of "inspiration pictures", :). I'm supposed to have the glass installed next week. More pics to follow.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Looking good!

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Between all your vehicles, You should have everything figured out for mine and tested. What gauges are those? Do they come with all the correct sensors for the LS engine. Did you set them up yourself in the cluster or preinstalled? Looking real nice. The Mar-K trim looks real good, I might have to run over there one of these days.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

those gauges are really nice!
