Burb is looking spectacular!

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

Looks great Rob!:metal:

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

What bulkhead did you use for your a/c lines coming through the firewall? Does vintage air make one for the sure fit kits? I can't seem to find one that matches up with the template that comes with the kit.

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

Thanks Doug!

Thanks Brandon!

Vintage Air doesn't make a bulkhead fitting for the Sure-fit kit. So I made one myself, (it's just a piece of 1/8th aluminum). I also had to change the ends of the hard lines (if you go back a few pages I have pictures of everything). I talked to VA about offering this as an option (I even offered to send them my lines for patterns), but they weren't interested...:rolleyes::crazy:

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

Your burb is coming along very nicely! In my opinion probably the nicest burb out there.

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

VA doesn't seem to be interested in anything above and beyond what they are doing. I had a similar interaction with them with an idea I had that would make life easier!

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

Thank you! I'm humbled that you say that. I'm not sure it's the nicest, I'm doing my best and am very appreciative that people like my vision. Thanks again, :metal:!


That's kinda what I was thinking. I guess their thoughts are, "Why fix it if it's not broke..." and I get it. However, it wouldn't cost much to make it a cleaner looking and an easier install. OBTW, love the attention to detail on yours, keep it up :thumbs:

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

OBTW, I'm looking for a nice set of the plastic headliner bows and a nice OEM antennae. Please let me know if you have either as the lack of both is slowing down progress....:lol:.

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

I love how the burb looks aired out! :metal:

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

Rob,

This thing continues to get better every time I check the updates! It looks awesome and I'm jealous that you're so close to being done and I'm where I am. :lol::metal:

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

Thanks! Not as low as the green 68, but a lot more practical...:lol:.
Thanks! I guess my perseverance (aka hard headedness....:D) is finally paying off :lol:

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

Hard to argue this point. Amazing ride!!!!

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

Thanks Joe!


We had to pull the hood to put the cowl piece back on. Hopefully tonight the hood will go back on for the last time. This will wrap up the front sheet metal and then I can concentrate on finishing the interior.

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

Took the burb out for some air yesterday...:thumbs:

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

Looking great! You're getting really close now!

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

Awesome! Any video of the engine running?

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

Sweeeeeet!

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

Saw some new pics on IG and that thing is so nice. Almost time to put the hammer down!

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

Thanks!

Thanks! I have some on Instagram, but not on here.

Thanks!

Thanks! Just trying to make a little progress every day. We were able to get the hood back on last night. The fits not perfect, but considering the entire front kit is aftermarket, it's not bad, especially for a driver, :sexy:, :metal:!

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

Nice Rob, whats left to do at this point? How is it running?

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

Looks great Rob!

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

Nicest 67-72 burb on the planet!

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

Finish interior, finish tune, put all of the outside trim on.

Thanks!

Thanks! Here's a few shots with the hood on outside. The last picture is one of a truck that saw in a magazine and was kinda the inspiration for my Suburban.

Rendering by Zumo from the front page...

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

It looks even better in the real picture. I like the wheels you ended up with compared to whats in the rendering.
