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.

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! |
