Nice pieces! As a min, I would clearcoat them, to protect from scratches

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

Good idea Chris! Thanks and Happy New Year.

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

Thanks Keith!

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

Nice progress Rob!

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

Thanks Keith! I finished connecting all of my AC vent hoses and then installed the Vintage air glovebox liner (PITA). I also put on the glovebox door just to see how everything looks. I'm debating on whether or not I want to do the wood grain on it and the gauge bezel. I kinda like the way everything looks as is.... I still have some time to figure that out.

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

I'd say leave it as is (it looks really good now), but you've got wood grain door panels, so it might be really cool to have the glove box and gauge panel match. You'll know what to do after you look at it with the door panels installed.

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

I think I will for right now. Easy enough to change later. I did order my carpet. Currently waiting on some parts and then I will be able to install the fenders for the last time and hopefully get the hood and grill installed....

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

Love the dash, still looks classic but modern

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

Thanks! We finally had a nice day last Saturday so while I was out doing some data logging for the motor tune I stopped and took some pictures.

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

Looks great man. You must be itching to get that thing buttoned up at this point. Throw that front end together and hood on. At least you don't have to wait for the "good" weather to drive that truck.

I'm still waiting for a few parts before I can put it all back together for good. It suxs that 2 small pieces are causing the delay, but I'm just trying to be patient. I've almost finished installing about 300 square feet of Fatmat on the interior and I just got my carpet in. So I have some things to work on. It's taken 12 years to get this point, what's a few more months....

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

Looks great! That's a serious ton of fatmat. Should be nice and quiet.

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

Looking good! :metal::metal:

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

Looks Awesome Rob!

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

Would you hurry up and get this thing done Rob :) Looking good my friend!

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

Thanks! It was a lot of work, :lol:. I hope it will be worth the effort.

Thanks!

Thanks Keith!

Thanks Bro! I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel....:metal:.

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

I'm trying to decide if my headliner should be white or black? Thoughts? Keep in mind, black carpet, black door panels with wood grain...

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

The white looks clean

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

I second the white.

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

The black would make it pretty dark in the interior.... I like the white :chevy:

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

I am for the black, mostly because anything white on an interrior for me ends up black not to long after the install.

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

I would have gone white with everything, but DEFINITELY would keep the headliner white. Would look like a coffin in there with your bright, jazzy paint job outside. Doesn't make sense. Keep it bright with contrast.

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

The white looks good but the black will look a lot more finished with everything else.
The white will clash with the seat inserts being that it appears much brighter than them.
So I will vote for black.

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

This is exactly what I see being the problem, other than black I think will make the interior too dark. Is there a way that you can make some design using both colors?

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

I say white. It looks clean, brightens it up, ties in with the white in the hounds-tooth pattern and the white on the exterior. Just don't touch it! :lol: Black would work, but I tend to agree with the others, it might be too dark inside. Either way, I think it will turn out nice.

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

I like the white in my suburban. I wouldn't change it to black. The white keeps it bright at night.

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

I guess I will be the Lone Ranger on this one without Tonto.
Quick points on the black.
So I am guessing this will be more of a show truck than driver as far as darkness goes and that what interior lights is for, on top of the fact that these Burbs are glass houses on the road so the black would be better especially with the other bright and funny looking blue headlights from other cars shining in there if you do drive at night.
As far as coffin feeling the red window post pretty much break up the black, now if the headliner was to match the seat inserts then yes that white.
This ride has a lot of white already and although it will look good white, I don't think the white would look uniform and finished off as the black.

Man you probably shouldn't have asked us, this is a tough one and honestly anyway you go on this it would be nice.

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

I appreciate everyone's input! Here's what I decided to do. I'm going to go with white and if it ends up being to bright I will try to figure out a way to paint it black or cover it. I looked at Lowes for the FRP and I found 2 different colors of white. One was a really bright white and shiny and the other one was kinda an egg-shell color and satin. I'm going to use the egg-shell/satin one. I think it looks pretty close to the stock color of the factory headliner (could be wrong :D) I've attached pictures of both, but I don't know if you will be able to tell the difference (first one is satin, second one is shiny). Also, I finished all of my FatMat so I threw the carpet in just to see how everything looks.

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

Here's a couple more carpet pictures.

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

:metal::metal:

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

Carpet looks great Rob. What color gray is that? Also what finish carpet did you go with?

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

Thanks!

Charcoal black, Essex die cut.

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

Rob,

I think you made a good choice on the headliner, I was thinking of the same for mine. You should be feeling good as you get that much closer to a finished product!

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

Thanks! I got the rear panel done yesterday. I'm debating on whether or not I want to combine the 2 small center panels into one. In theory, it seems like it would make the installation easier. Here's a couple of crappy pictures. Will try to take some better ones today or tomorrow. Here's the threads I have been using to help with the headliner build and installation:

Also, a big thanks to boardmember Portheadlight for sending me templates for he front and rear headliner panels.

Lookin good Rob!

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

Thanks Mike! Hope all is well with you and your family.

Hung some sheet metal this weekend...

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

Wow the truck looks great Rob. Have you thought about painting the middle of the grill black?
