Rear panels are done, just waiting on the sub box. Re-installed the rear seats and then pulled the front to finishing hooking up all of the stereo components. What a mess....

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

Looking sharp Rob

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

That is looking great. I really like the middle row buckets for access to the rear seat.

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

Looking good Rob! What did you end up using for the audio system?

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

Thanks!

Thanks! They work really well.

Thanks! I used a RetroSound II for the head unit. For the speakers, I have 4 JL Audio 6.5 speakers, with a NVX five channel amp and a 10" Image dynamics subwoofer. I received some really good suggestions/information from our audio board. Here's a thread on all the stereo components I used:

Didn't get much done this last weekend as we were in Dallas attending our daughter's graduation from AA flight attendant school. I was very privileged to be asked to pin her wings on. Pretty cool event. AA is hiring 3000 flight attendants this year and they received 550,000 applications, :jdp:.

My buddy did get a template for the sub box done and the new AC controller from Dakota Digital did arrive. My push is to have it somewhat back together for the Battle in Bama car show....:). https://www.facebook.com/events/1714755652121309/

Congrats to your daughter, Rob!

I guess it's true that a military uniform can make anybody look good! :lol:
I wish mine still fit, I guess I'll just have to settle for being ugly.:haha:

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

Thanks! It was a little "snugger" than the last time I had it on 10 years ago.....:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

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

Congrats to your daughter and the burb is coming along nicely. I really like the ac control head.

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

Bravo Zulu

Rob

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

Those were great pics Rob. Congrat’s to your daughter!

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

Burb continues to keep looking better, & big congrats to your daughter! I know ya'll are super proud. Don't know that I've ever seen a pic of you, but I must say you're lookin' sharp in that uniform.:flag:

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

Congrats to your daughter Rob.

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

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks!

Thanks! We are really excited for her. She got based at LaGuardia because she wants to fly internationally. As far as the uniform, it's been almost 10 years since I had it on. Was really surprised it fit as well as it did, :lol:.

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

I have the passenger side speaker installed. What a pain! Stretching the carpet was a JOB!!! Will work on the driver side this evening.

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

Very nice

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

Thanks Keith

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

Looks good! How did you get the carpet into that form? Is it two pieces?

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

Front speakers look good. Which kick panels are those and what else did you have to do to them?

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

It's one piece. A lot of pulling and stretching (along with a little heat, :D)...

They are from RetroSound. Didn't do much to them other than a little trimming and adding a 1" spacer (I used deep speakers).

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

Drivers side is done. Just need to do some tidying up and put everything back together.

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

Those kick panels came out really nice. What kind of adhesive did you use?

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

Thanks, 3M carpet/headliner adhesive - picked it up at the local parts store.

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

All the sound system install is taken care of. I am currently working on putting everything back together. This has taken longer than it should have because I've taken the time to clean up some of the wiring that I had previously done in a not so clean manner, :lol:. I also installed an electric trailer brake controller and test fitted my hidden hitch receiver, :metal:.

Rob

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

I go the all the stereo installed and interior back together, so I decided to take the Burb out for a ride and snapped some pictures.

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

Will I see you this Saturday?

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

Unfortunately not...

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

Unacceptable

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

::lol:, family commitments come first! :)

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

Looks awesome!:metal:

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

man your suburban is looking amazing. thanks for sharing those awesome photos

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

Beautiful! Nice job on the stereo install too.

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

For an Aviator you sure built one hell of a fine ground-pounder!
Outstanding!

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

Great looking Burb.

What bracket did you use for the middle buckets? I tried to find a good picture but no joy.

Thanks.

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

Sorry for the bounce back - but I have a quick question on something you posted in another thread regarding the ceiling bows.
"UPDATE: I have all my panels cut and installed. The fit is good and the satin white is similar to the factory original. I have been trying to find some nice plastic headliner bows, but that is starting to seem like an impossible task. So I got in contact with a company about manufacturing some new ones. I sent them a couple of pieces to use as samples. I think this will probably happen. They won't be chrome like the originals, but they will be paintable. In the meantime, I took the 3 nicest bows that I have and color matched them to the headliner material. This will have to do for right now."

Did you ever get those custom made bows?

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

Thanks!

Thanks Keith!

:lol:, Go Navy! :metal:

Thanks! I built the brackets. Pictures posted in the other thread.

Well, as of right now, no one wants to reproduce them. The guy I'm working with is still trying to find a manufacturer that is. I may have a couple of extra decent ones that you could probably paint, but won't know for a few weeks until I get mine installed.

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

Awesome thank you for the pic.

Your Burb is def an inspiration.

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

Thanks Travis!

I made a little more progress this weekend on some things that have been bugging me for a little while. First, I replaced some airline fittings that were leaking at the swivel (seemed like an odd place for a leak:confused:). Of course they were in the most difficult place to deal with :( :lol:. Once that was done, I installed a new closer ratio RedHead power steering box. The factory box was a 16:1 ratio (4 turns lock to lock) and it felt like I was steering an aircraft carrier :D. The new one is a 14:1 ratio (3.5 turns lock to lock). I know that doesn't seem like much, but it feels so much better and is a lot less "work" to maneuver this beast, :metal:. I also got my headliner bows finished. Will try to install them today and then I can call the headliner D.O.N.E.:devil:

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

Are your headliner bows reconditioned factory ones or ??? I would love to see how they came out. Mine are in but if they ever have to be removed I don't have much confidence in my ablity to remove them without damage.

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

A buddy of mine painted my originals with some "special" automotive chrome paint. Not exactly like the originals, but I think they will look good. Will post picswhen installed.
