idk about that red valve cover maybe it will grow on me but not diggin it as of right now? It just looks outta place?

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

Looks like some great progress!

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

Wow all that and you found time to look at my mess....
I like the red, looks good.

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

I'm diggin' the red cover,it just needs the coils laid on it to mute it down a little. Mac

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

I like the red. Just be careful of how many of the liquid refreshments you have while working on the wiring, or it will be a fried mess. LOL. Do you have the part number for the oil pressure cover with the the knob like your using. My Chevy dealer keeps ordering me the plain covers. Thanks. Looking good.

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

Nice progress. I think the red will be good once you have the coil packs on it to break it up...

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

since your SC is cast finnished, your valve covers should be cast finnished too. More red, or no red. The lone red valve covers just scream corny.

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

Thats what I was thinking also.

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

I thought the same thing. It looks better with the coil packs back on it.

Thanks! Any progress on those SB center caps? :D

Anytime Bro!

You're wish is my command! What do ya think?

:lol:, I didn't think anybody saw that. I think you need to be drunk or crazy to jump into the middle of this wiring mess, :). I don't have a part number, but I know mine came off of a truck pan. I have an extra one if you can't find one local. Let me know.

Take a look and tell me what you think.

OUCH!!! :lol: I see what you're saying, though. Since they're pretty easy to take off, I'll probably wait until everything is together to see how it looks before I change them again.

Tough crowd, :lol:.

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

I like em!!!

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

I think it looks good. Plus, the headers are similar color to the blower so it will break it up just enough while tying it together with the burb.

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

i agree!! the coil does break it up just enough!! lookin good!!

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

maybe paint the fuel rails red too, add a red pinstriping design to the SC snout, black wires (red might not match hues). don't worry, my opinion cant be all that important, I have been told by my smarter half that my black door panels dont match my burb!

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

Looks really good man, I'd leave em

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

i have the same Lokar shifter kit, but im having trouble on my wagon, the rod is too short.

How do you like it?

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

looks pretty good with the coils on them but i like the bare alum...

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

Thanks!

Agree, ;)

:)

:lol:, one step at a time.....

Thanks.

Mine works fine. You can call Lokar directly and order a longer rod. (I think it's ok to say that on this site....:D)

:sumo:, :D

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

What wiring harness kit did you use for the cab? What about harness for the Engine?

Thanks and GREAT BUILD... gives me a ton of motivation for my build.

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

I used a Speartech Fuel Injection harness (it came with the pedal to tach module harness) and a Painless factory body harness (I think the part number is listed somewhere in this thread.) Let me know if you have any other questions

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

New windshield.....

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

looking good bro i like it

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

Good progress Rob.

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

Coming together....I'm sure it'll be an amazing feeling when that front end sheetmetal goes on for the final time. It was with my blazer even though I've only had it a short time...

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

Rob,Will the burb make it to the turkey run in nov.?

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

looks ok ;)

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

Thats going to be one fine 'burb!

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

We'll see how things go....:)

:lol:

Thanks!

I'm making progress on the wiring, but no good pictures to post....

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

Hey Rob,

Any reason why you didn't round off the passenger side firewall???....I think portbuilt has a template for that now.....I'm just sayin':lol:

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

This is a 100 point restoration, not a hotrod build......;).

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

Duly noted!!!:lol:

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

I am with you on this one - if I had to do it all over again...oh what I would do different!

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

rob, post 987 you sai dno good pic to post?? any pic of this thing is a good one imo!

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

I hope you make it, I'd like to see that burb in person.

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

:ito:

:lol:, Have you got the blazer running yet? How's the move going?

Thanks, I appreciate it. I really love the way your truck is turning out. Looking forward to seeing it on the road too.....

It will be there eventually, I'm just not sure what year.....:waah:, :lol:.

****

Wiring, wiring and more wiring...... Believe it or not, I actually enjoy doing the wiring, BUT, it takes forever to make it look right. I'm pretty meticulous and like to tuck things in pretty tight and make them look like they belong there. I've about wrapped up the rear section (air management, fuel pump, lights, trailer harness.....next I'll be moving forward and working on my fuel injection and the engine area wires....Here's a picture of the mess.

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

cant wait to see the front clip on:metal:

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

Looks great! I really like the red valve covers too!

Just curious if you are running Vintage air setup? When are you going to start on that install? I want to see how you do it. Also, are you going to run a rear air? You think a single air setup will cool all that area? Keep up the good work!

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

looking good Rob!

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

I'm getting pretty excited about that myself. :)

I'm going to run the Vintage Air Gen IV. I'll start that install after I finish most of the wiring. No rear, just the front. I think with tinted windows and all the insulation that I'm going to put in, it should be fine.

Thanks!

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

Some progress, nothing earth shattering, but the front end is starting to come together. Pics of course, :).

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

that think is so awesome! i love it!
