Nice!!! Can't believe I hadn't subscribed sooner, but I am now!

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
Very glad to see you back on the old girl again Rob.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
Is Super Burb a keeper, or are you going to send it down the road when its finished?

I think I've about got the AC figured out, will know for sure in the morning. I've been buying an purchasing a bunch of miscellaneous small parts and one big purchase. I've been working with Dakota Digital on a new set of gauges for the Burb. Will be about 4 weeks before they are done. Hopefully they will turn out the way I want. I also got the auxiliary transmission cooler mounted and the supercharger heat exchanger mounted. All I need to do now is finish running the lines.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
How do you get Dakota Digital to work with you? Every time I called and asked about different things from what they offer, they just tell me that this is what they offer, I can either buy it or not. So I never did...

The last time I tried, I was wanting to get them to make some VHX gauges that looked better in our trucks with either green or white lighting, but you already convinced them to do that with the Farm truck. :lol:
BTW, I'm definitely not ordering gauges until I see what you do with the burb.;) I'm leaning towards 2 other brands for the Blazer and the truck so far, though. |
Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
Very nice Rob! Back when DD first came out with the VHX cluster, I called and asked if they could make my VHX cluster have a 5k tach they said no. At that time they had probably been out a year or better. But, they do it now. I wasn't to pleased about that.

Well I bit the bullet last night and started drilling holes in my painted firewall....:crazy:....Hopefully everything will bolt up and fit correctly when I test fit it....:cool:

Nice job!

Rob, I enjoy your builds. Nice, clean, detailed...looking really good!
Will Superburb be cruising this year? |
Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
Put me on the list potential buyers if you ever get bored and move on to another project. ;)
Just Beautiful. |

Some small progress. I finally got the supercharger inner cooler and H2O pump mounted and plumbed. I've been trying to get all the wiring harnesses integrated and sorted out. I should have taken better notes, guess that's what happens when you walk away from a project for 6 years....:(.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
Nice work! I really like the tail light conversion on it!

*** No picture worthy updates but I am making progress. I've got most of the engine compartment wiring completed, just need to finish up a few things. I was able to power up the PCM and pull the factory tune, so I can play with that on rainy days, :lol:. I also checked the DBW pedal and it seems to activated the throttle body correctly, :metal:. I also started installing the Fatmat installation, considering how large this beasts is, that's going to be a job! The interior wiring is about 50% done, I'm just waiting on my gauges. No one really notices all the small detail stuff and it's what takes the most time! |
Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
I am eagerly waiting to see what your gauges look like!

I'm lovin' it! I wonder if they are going to offer them after your set like they did with the ones you had in the Farm Truck?

DD may just earn the right to be at the top of my list again if they do.
You should get a commission from them, since you get them to make what everybody wants. :lol: |

IF you want to get that luxury car tomb-like feel, you'll want to use closed cell foam over the CLD followed by a layer of mass-loaded vinyl. The CCF will isolate the MLV from the vehicle, and the MLV is what blocks out the noise. |

Looks like a third digital display with the 3 buttons. It just has the markings like a non-tach cluster instead of being just black, right Rob?

Don at SDS has great products and they are specifically made for automobiles. There is also a lot of great info on his site. https://www.sounddeadenershowdown.co...-cell-foam-ccf Some people have been happy with generic foam. (1/8") http://www.thefoamfactory.com/closed...ticrubber.html Others have used yoga mats. Just make sure they're closed cell foam so they don't retain moisture. There are probably some CCF/MLV combination products out there, but I don't know who's making them these days. (I know Second Skin used to have Luxury Liner Pro, but I think they're out of business.) |
