Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

not much of an update as of yet, but, just some messing around. took a pic of the current engine setup as i dont have a pic of that in here. i also pulled the springs out of the front to see how low it is. still need to finish the lower arms, and install bags and spindles, but i only have 3/4" before the arms hit the grond:devil::metal:

that is a nice garage!

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

haha thanks, and its nice to finally have a garage to park and work on my burb in. the side to the left with the dirt bikes, is my little bros and the tool side, mines in the middle, and my dad and little bros gf side is to the right of my burb.

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

so your front will be 3/4" lower than it is now after you get your spindles, bags, and arms in?

i was wondering because i would like to see how level it would sit. i really want to move my rear bags but if its gonna have a dump out back lower than the front, im not sure i should do that.

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

haha yah but thats fine with me lol. as i have some other plans for it sometime down the road to solve that issue with the front sitting higher

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

lol frame z?

should look good..im thinking of moving my bags on the axle and try my hand at welding...hmmm...

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

might have somone z it lol but not sure yet on that. their really isnt to much room over the axle if you go inside the frame rails as i thought about that, you also dont get as much lift. so the only way to have plenty of room with an over axle setup is on the outside of the frame rails, and then a double convoluted bag doesnt ride the best for that kind of set up. for that you would need a tapered sleeve bag

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

good point. i was thinking of getting the offset brackets though...that mount the bags in front of the axle, then you can run a bridge bar above it. would it still allow the truck to lay the frame on the ta's?

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

i dont see why not if its done correctly. will probably have to use blocks or the pb t/a's as well though

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

ya, i have blocks already, im just sort of thinking out the box. i really would like to try and weld this stuff up myself. the worst that could happen is it starting bend but ill notice it before anything drastic happens and just re do it.


hows the arms coming along?

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

still need to cut out all of the plate and box in the bottom of them, getting kind of anxious(sp) to finish them lol.

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

truck what i didnt know you had a truck! you have a suburban and a truck and didnt tell us what year is the truck :lol::haha: just jokin

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

haha ok their i fixed it for yah lol.

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

:lol:had to do it to ya after what you said in that pic request thread!

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

haha its ok. its still based off of a truck so either way its ok lol.

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

you should do a whit top and a all gold bottom with trim the upper and lower trim

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

haha no trim for me lol, its getting shaved of everything but probably the mirrors

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

hmm ypou should do the gold white though

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

i have thought about it, but have not seen any pics of gold w/white top 67 subs, or even 68's for that matter. if i did it, it still wouldn't have any chrome though, or at least very little lol.

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
