I was wondering how the call quality is.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

I haven't used the hands free calling feature. I never even hooked the mic up. With the road noise and exhaust it would probably be difficult to get a good quality phone call in my ol beater.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

I finally have my AC lines and inside unit reinstalled on the Burb. AND I also added a 2 Ton AC unit to cool my shop! This should make finishing this project up little more bearable, :metal:.

That's a cool deal on the garage a/c! :lol:

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Haha, cool deal. I'm a little jealous

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Thanks guys! It's been nice to work on the burb when it's not 95 degrees and 100% humidity! I should have done this a long time ago, :lol. I also have a guy scheduled to finish the sheetrock the first part of October, which will help also.

Back to the Burb.....Still waiting on my gauges, but I'm knocking small things off of my punch list, wiring and other miscellaneous stuff. The goal is to have everything done that I can so that when the gauges arrive I can wire them up and start it.....we'll see....:lol:. Here's some pictures of the AC control panel and the RetroSound stereo installed.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Very nice! I'm sorry, to ask, because it's probably in the thread, but is that a/c control a vintage air product?

The burb is looking good. Looks like you can almost see the light at the end of the tunnel. I want your shop!!!

The ac control looks good..kinda discrete. Congratulations on the shop ac!

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Thanks! I need to see if I can make that work in my 40 Ford. I like the looks of that.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Thanks! How's the Blazerette coming along?

Thanks! It's really nice working without sweat dripping everywhere! :lol:

I'm sure you can, it's pretty small and fairly easy to install.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Super clean and very symmetrical looking dash. Coming together nicely.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Thanks! I've been wrapping up a lot of small details prepping for a light off as soon as my gauges come in. If things go as planned that could be as early as next week, :metal:!

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

All AC/heat lines crimped and installed. Not the "neatest" way to do them, but they should work. Will pull a vacuum on the complete system tonight and hopefully no leaks.... One more thing crossed off of the list, :metal:!

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

well, nothing sloppy there!

do you crimp them yourself?

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Thanks! I bought a crimping tool from McMasters and did all of the crimping myself.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

That looks pretty good Rob. I did something similar on my 71. Going to keep it like that when I do the LS swap too. It's not as fancy as the all hidden stuff, but I like the way it looks.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Nicely done!

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Very nice! Getting the ac done is a big accomplishment IMO! Nice work.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

A Q's on your installation of A/C.. Do the kit on the truck the same for the burb ????
Can you post more info of the crimper. Thanks as always killer build.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks! Hopefully, it charges and cools OK...:).

Sorry for the late reply, just got back from vacation. As far as I know there is no difference between the Vintage Air kits, they just list C10. Check out this thread on the crimper:

Take care,

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

I received my HDX gauges yesterday. Can't wait to get them connected and installed, :metal:!

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Very nice!

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Thanks Keith. I had some time to connect a few wires last night and here are few pictures of them lit up with some of the different color options!

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Looks nice! Why isn't the clock lit up in the first 4 pictures?

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

I just didn't have it plugged in...:lol:.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Nice Rob!

Very good looking setup.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Love those gauges. Can't wait to get mine!

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Thanks guys, I'm very happy with them! They were well worth the wait, :metal:.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Still working on cleaning up the wiring for the cruise control, EFI and the gauges while trying to finish the plumbing in my shop. Here's a shot of the gauges in Red...:smoke:.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Rob, are the bim modules similar for the hdx as to the vhx clusters?

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Yes, they will work with both.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

:mm: I like the gauges lit up in Red!

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Thanks Keith! There are some many color options to choose from, it's been hard for me to decide what I like better, :lol:.

I'm about done wiring up the cruise control. What a pain in the butt to have to use 2 relays to make the Dakota Digital switch (HND-3) work with the DBW setup, :(.

(write up by here ACKATTACK: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...se+control+db2)


On a more positive note, I talked to my contact at Dakota Digital about the problem using the switch, so look for a new switch in the future that you won't have to add relays to in order for it to work properly, :metal:.

I also got most of the plumbing done on the shop. Getting closer to sheetrock time!!!!

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Are you plumbing compressed air?

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Shower, toilet and sink, :metal:. But I will plumb my air also, when the sheetrock is finished, :D.

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

Fancy! I usually just go out the back door :exit:

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

I used to....:lol:

Re: 1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)
 

My shop 2., well front door :lol:


Stuff all looks good Rob.

Sorry you didn't get over here for CTC (at least yet).
