yes those headrests should come out without cutting them off like i did until i found out afterwords lol. there is a little hole in the side of the plastic piece around the base of the headrest slide bars, if i remember correctly just stick like a little nail or something in there to push on a little release thing or whatever haha... i think the little hole thing i mentioned is on the inside ones. here is a pic of mine, i also cut the seat brackets down and will eventually get it recovered in black and green(olive drab)

Re: Project Patina Burb
Sweet, thanks. I saw those holes and thought that they might. I set it in the burb on Friday to drill the holes to bolt it in.

Re: Project Patina Burb
She's coming along nicely. I like that you decided to add the "factory" tail lights.

Re: Project Patina Burb
Haven't done much on it lately because there are a couple of things I'm not smart enough to do-bodywork and electrical wiring. At least the kind of wiring when you're re-wiring the entire burb. Give me a stereo or air bags and I'll knock it out.
Anyway, she's on her way to get the 5.3 wired up and running at a guy's shop that has my harness and computer. He's wired it and programmed the computer and will get it running for me. Couldn't beat the price. http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps02e82dd8.jpg http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/m...0a842c5c-1.jpg |
Re: Project Patina Burb
Great looking build you got going, dont really see alot of those burbs up here in Canada.
Really digging your red blazer, too bad you had to part with it, but under the circumstances i would do the same. Keep the pics coming. |

Re: Project Patina Burb

Re: Project Patina Burb
Whos doing the 5.3 wiring? Is it a friend or someone that would do someone elses vehicle?

Re: Project Patina Burb
I wish I could learn how to wire and weld

Re: Project Patina Burb
Just a little door handle issue and still have to cut out and find the tailgate lock.
Still going with the Patina, like what Rusbuilt did on his SWB. It's a local guy over in Lebanon. Posted via Mobile Device |
Re: Project Patina Burb
Oh yeah! She's coming along just fine.

Re: Project Patina Burb
Well, apparently the ECU for my motor isn't the correct one. My 5.3 is a drive by cable throttle and the computer is for an electronic throttle. It's the computer that was given to me when I bought the motor so I'm confused. The guy wiring up the 5.3 and programming it said that the intake was changed and that's why it's a drive by cable throttle now. So I had to buy another computer off ebay and it will be here Monday. I hope there won't be anymore hiccups, but I have a bad feeling about it.

Re: Project Patina Burb
Sorry to hear that Bryan, I hope everything else works out! Stay positive!

Re: Project Patina Burb
That stinks, man. I hope it's the last bump.

Re: Project Patina Burb
Gas tank is leaking, so it's not the last bump.

Re: Project Patina Burb
Got alot done this week. My LS wiring guy gave me a list of things that needed to be done before he could come over and finish his part. I've been buying several things for it and knocking things off the list.
Temp Sender for factory gauges Oil Pressure line for factory gauges Power Steering line(had to get adapter for back of 5.3 pump to put factory pressure line on) Throttle cable and bracket(motor didn't come with one). Found both for $10 at a local yard. Fixed gas tank leak Oil Tube and Dipstick for the F-body pan. That's just a few things I've bought and put on this week. Not all have been installed, though |
Re: Project Patina Burb
sounds like a good week!
|
Re: Project Patina Burb
Yea, Matt, if I can get the bodywork done, I can start painting it like yours.
|
Re: Project Patina Burb
I've got some sanding to do yet, but it's coming together. I'm excited to see yours do the same.
|
Re: Project Patina Burb
Sweet Burb. I'm trying to figure out the rear roll pan. I want to put one on my Burb.

Bryan you should know by now no updates are allowed without pictures!

Re: Project Patina Burb

Re: Project Patina Burb
Got alot done on the burb today. Trae (Inherited71) came over and helped with the interior wiring.
Got the temp sender installed and wired in for the factory gauge. Got the backup lights wired up to the neutral safety switch. Power Steering lines all hooked up. Throttle linkage hooked up. Installed the oil tube and dipstick, had to modify where it mounts to the exhaust manifolds a bit. Didn't get the oil line installed. I didn't have the right fitting for the gauge and I don't have a tap kit to install it on the pan. Also didn't get to setting the doors and the bodywork. Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Project Patina Burb
Here you go Jonathan:
Most of the stuff we did today is tough to notice, but I haven't taken a shot of it lately anyway. http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps441206a2.jpg http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/m...psfe657c2e.jpg http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/m...psb7a6da1f.jpg Still a rat's nest, but making progress http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps0de9fc05.jpg I picked up some nice LED's this week. Doesn't exactly go with the patina theme, but I know I won't get rear ended with them (I hope). http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/m...ps6ed03e9f.jpg |
Re: Project Patina Burb
Mandi picked up a rare Garton Jeep pedal car last week at a estate sale she was working.
Going to resale it to pay for a few things on the burb. It's pretty different. http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/m...psb2a749d5.jpg |
Re: Project Patina Burb
Thanks for the pics...my patina project is almost finished and will be transported to the new owner....might be looking for a patina burb of my own down the road...
Cool pedal car...hope you do well with the sale! |
