Re: LFD's 4dr Burb Build
Another 6hrs down and way to many more to go! I sectioned the outer door edge were the window felts go so it would match the pass side and not drag on the glass. I just cut sections out of a donor front door and Tig'd then in place. Then I made the cradle for the fixed vent window and installed the inner door handle latch mounting area. Then 3hrs of fun started when I had to rebuild the door lock system in reverse but it is done and works great.
Their Will not be any progress until next weekend because I am taking off in an hour to head down for my class this week with Lazzy to learn the English wheel, power bead roller and other panel fabrication tools. I will be taking pics;) Kevin LFD Inc. http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ln/tahoe86.jpg http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ln/tahoe87.jpg http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ln/tahoe88.jpg http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ln/tahoe89.jpg http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ln/tahoe90.jpg http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ln/tahoe91.jpg http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ln/tahoe92.jpg http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ln/tahoe93.jpg http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ln/tahoe94.jpg |

Re: LFD's 4dr Burb Build

Re: LFD's 4dr Burb Build
Well good news my electric life power windows showed up today. I ordered one set to check out because they do not make a set for the rear windows of the burbs only the front's. After a few minutes of looking and a few quick measurements I do believe they will work great in the rear doors with very little modifications. If I get a few projects done Thursday I will do the mod and see how well they work. Electric life is a direct bolt in for the fronts of the Burbs, truck and blazers and very soon my rear side doors:metal:
And yes I will show a step by step to mod these for anyone else wanting power windows in all 4 locations. Kevin LFD Inc. |
Re: LFD's 4dr Burb Build
I Bet that was a Blast making those Part's, Just Think how much Time & Effort you will be saving with Your Creation's once you get the Equipment.............
Thank's for Sharing the Pics........... Rick |

Re: LFD's 4dr Burb Build
Dayum, sounds to me like that class is well worth it, how much does it cost?

Re: LFD's 4dr Burb Build
Nice work Kevin. I met Lazze a couple of years ago at the GNRS. I loved the fact that you didnt have to work the steel over a bag before you started wheeling, keeps the noise down, neighbors happy. He sure is proud of his $tuff.

Re: LFD's 4dr Burb Build
Ron Covell rules! I think I have every movie he has ever made. Course they are just the basics. Heck I even got the motorcycle ones and I am not into bikes.

Burb new! I modded one window regulator today and I will do the other side on Friday for a How-To write up. I installed the one I did today and it worked great for one revolution until the glass came out of the old bottom Chanel, no fault of the regulator kit just old parts but it did work great that one time.

Re: LFD's 4dr Burb Build
Awesome fab work man. How do you have your tig set up to weld sheetmetal? (Electrode size, rod size, amperage) When you hammer and dollie afterward,are you stretching the weld spot back out? I cut down my long bed like you did with low buck, and had a hard time keeping things straight. I still have one corner that I nned to work on.

Re: LFD's 4dr Burb Build
Man that is some awesome work you do....:metal:
