Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

thanks lol. i learned a little trick from someone here on the board that i read somewhere, that said to hold the gun farther away so it doesn't burn through as easy when using flux core welders on sheet metal. and im also using the lowest setting on it as well as that trick :smoke: :)

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

looks good!


have you tried opening the hood with it on there? just make sure it doesnt hit anything before you burn it in!

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

My scoop goes about an inch farther back then the stock hood, using some custom hinges, Mine clears. I think stock hinges would give more clearance.

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

well i have no hinges so technically yes it will hit, but once i figure out what im gonna do as far as that no it should not hit :)

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

finally found your build. i like it dude. keep it up

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

any updates?

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

thanks bro :)

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

no unfortunately not as i don't have any cash to work on it :waah: , but that will start to change this month when i start working and then i will start buying stuff for it :)

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

x2?????

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

hey 1sik7t2/Dave, read the previous post right before yours ;)

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

Well guys, their wont be any updates on this thing for a while as i am now working driving a semi-truck, i will be running probably 48 states to start, but im gonna try and get on a dedicated run and do 11 western states. so when i come back to town for some home time this thing needs to go into storage for a while as i need to move and im not gonna pay rent for somewhere im not staying at all of the time lol. once i get caught up on bills and what not the buying of things for it will start to happen again :chevy:


but on a side note, i should be getting rid of my 1970 VW beetle and picking this up...... its a 1990 :gmc2: sierra single cab short bed with a v8. it needs some work but runs and is in overall pretty good shape. it used to be lowered at one time as it has a bolt in c-notch. so it will end up being lowered again. gonna go with a 4"-6" drop as i am getting the stuff to do the front from a friend of mine for basically free as he had an extra front end laying around. so all i will need to buy is the flip kit for the rear. its gonna get a fresh rattle can satin black paint job over the black thats already on it, and it will also end up being all blacked out with no chrome, some different wheels, and smoked taillights and turn signals, and the windows will also be retinted with limo tint. i will also fix the issues that it has and do some exhaust work as well. eventually it may receive a 96 chevy front grille and lights that will be blacked out as well if i change it up :D

so what do you guys think??? :)
