Re: LFD's 4dr Burb Build
Like everyone else, I love your work. Its fun to watch. I really like your attitude about learning.
Ive read about Laz's classes a few times. I would like to take one someday. I wish he was closer. So did everyone in your class build the same things? I see you have a good start on a 34 roadster. Ive seen the Willy's coupe they built and I heard they built a Cobra in a class too. I wish I was a little more flush right now. I would love to have the burb or the truck. Have you posted either of these for sale yet? |

Re: LFD's 4dr Burb Build
I hear you on the little ones vs. available time. I have 1 year old twin boys and I'm not in the shop nearly as much as I'd like to be now.
It would still be really cool rolling up to pick up a customer's project pulling a trailer with a bagged, 4 door burb. Plus, you'll have a lot more room than you would in an older burb/panel/pickup. You need wheelbase and weight to pull your trailer, and the burb has both of those going for it. |

Re: LFD's 4dr Burb Build
As long as you keep getting new projects and posting these inspirational build threads I personally don't care what you actually drive. I just love seeing your work. Between you, Frizzle Fry and a close friend who said "Its only metal, shape it how YOU want it" I've gained the confidence (or lack of sanity) to customize my Blazer. Now if I can just convince my better half it’s a good use of funds.

Re: LFD's 4dr Burb Build
I have been asked a few times in PM's for other pics of the burb so here are 1 or 2! It has all the glass except the rear side's and the windshield. New body mounts and the tub has been cleaned and undercoated. New trailing arm hardware and I assume bushings as well. And the best part is zero rust that I have been able to find. The driver rocker was replaced by a PO but they did a great job, it took me a bit of looking before I even saw it had been done.

How did you bend the flange that's right next to the drip rail over without pushing it in? In other words, how did you get such a nice brake there? http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b2...ln/tahoe37.jpg |
Re: LFD's 4dr Burb Build
With the flat sharp end of one of my dolly's and very light taps working back and forth until it was just right. I was surprised how easy it ended up being and how factory it looks.
Well I should get almost a full weekend to work on and finish up the 4th door so I hope by Sunday to be able to put up some red and white price sign's very soon!;) Kevin LFD Inc. |
Re: LFD's 4dr Burb Build
Finished!! Well at least the 4th door is now done. I still need to put the front end back on before it goes up for sale.

Re: LFD's 4dr Burb Build
Are the 4th door hinges just 3rd door hinges, flipped upside down? Is the area they attach to the (3rd) door the same as on the front doors?
Looks Great!! |

Re: LFD's 4dr Burb Build
Front end is now on and I had a 71 grill in the rafters I through on to complete the out side a bit more.
I added it all up and I have right about 40 hrs in the jamb opening and another 45-50 in the door! Well time to list it in the For Sale section;) Kevin LFD Inc. http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b20/rokcrln/fs19.jpg http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b20/rokcrln/fs20.jpg http://i16.photobucket.com/albums/b20/rokcrln/fs21.jpg |
Re: LFD's 4dr Burb Build
My computer is giving me grief and not loading the other pic-tastic pages, but how come your selling this? Thought in the 1st post it was going to be a keeper.
Fantastic work as always though man! :smoke: |
Re: LFD's 4dr Burb Build
Nice job! Did you make the outside keylock operable or are you going to weld it up like the passenger side?

Re: LFD's 4dr Burb Build
I think that most people, unless they know about these body style burbs would think it is all original
You did a really nice job man http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j2.../Mad-Props.jpg |
Re: LFD's 4dr Burb Build
Which comes first, the burb or the divorce? If I got the burb I'd end up divorced, but if I got divorced first, I then couldn't afford the burb. Hmmm, I'll have to think about this dilemma...
