I thought about that. I even contacted the powder coating place the Billet Specialties uses (Ironically called Coating Specialties) for their wheels, and they said they it could be done.

In the end, that is a lot of money for an experiment. I would want to make sure that it would turn out nice.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

I agree... there's a lot at stake for an experiment.

So Hart Rod, have you picked a wheel yet? :D

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

TOO MUCH PRESSURE!!!!! :lol:


Done!!


Agree....

Uhhmmm maybe, ;). I started the installation of the 13" front rotors and modular spindles. Unfortunately, no good pictures to show because it's going to take me longer to clean up the paint shop "goo" than it is to install the brakes, :waah:

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

I like the Billets too.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

I know people say it a lot, but I did just go though the whole thread, and all's I can say is; WOW. You are doing some awesome work. Can't wait for more updates.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

HartRob, are your motor mount purches in the back set of holes like an I6 or front holes. I know you had told me you used the ECE mounts before, I think.
Also, whats the closest those DT headers come to the firewall in the back of header. Thanks. I'm looking at using I6 stands with the stock rubber mount for 327 and homemade adapters. This is what a local guy has on his with a . 5.3. I'm looking for header clearance before I buy a set of DT's though. This sets the engine back a little more than yours looks. Thanks. Jim.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

Me too...

Thanks Nick!

They're big block motor mounts. There should be a picture in an earlier part of my thread. There's about 2" of clearance between the headers and the firewall on both sides. Here's a couple of pictures.

Since I've got the front end all tore apart, I pulled the bags and switched the air fitting from 1/4" to 3/8" to match the Accuair manifold.

Rob, I really like the Billets as well - are you trying to stay away from TT2's and/or a set of Coys?

I know they get used like crazy, but I think with your look they would look great! Can't wait to see what you decide - Ronnie

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

Thanks Hartrod for the pics and info. Looks good. Where'd you have the power steering hoses made? Thanks again.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

Rob she is coming along nicely!!! keep the picts coming..

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

There's so many choices, it's to hard to decide! I should know soon....;).

I had the hose made at Napa. It uses the same ends as the factory 67-72 hose and a Weatherhead fitting (#1446: 3/8" is 5/8 18 - 16x1.5) to adapt to the pump.

Thanks Al.

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

After all the time and money you've put into the burb, you're just going to slap some white spoke wagon wheels on it? :lol:

Happy bday to your wife Rob....(I'm not even gonna ask about the wheels, because I don't care....really, I have no interest in those stupid wheels, I mean I don't even wanna see just one of them....really, I'm not sayin I'm just sayin') :haha:

Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)
 

Nicest burb I have ever seen. Cant wait to see what wheels you chose. I'm guessing maybe the polished Coys. :D
