I can do it when I get home. The bottom of the bracket is 1 3/4 inch from the bottom of the frame.

Well the pics keep posting small. I'll figure out what I'm doing wrongvandvrepost them. Pm me your cell or email and I'll send them to you that way.
I had to modify the original brackets because of my notch. I had alreadty welded in PB notch so Scott's bracket wouldn't clear. I like the look of the bags behind the axle but that meant I had to cut out the notch and put Scott's notch in......

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!

Cool old Impala,... but it's a '64.
Where was the red/white blazer pic taken?

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 
Yea I posted the wrong impala. Trying to get this posting pics from my phone figured out. He has a red 62. This one is the 64.
That pic was taken last year at scraping the coast in panama city beach.

I have not spent much time on the burb lately as we have been working hard on my nova. Engine is built, ordered a few more goodies for her and so we are waiting till next week. I hung the front clip and started on the Porterbuilt hood hinges. Install was easy so far. Tomorrow I will install the hood and go from there. I just need an extra pair of hands to install it.

Juan,

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 
Thanks Steve. Between you and rob your burbs inspired me to build one.

I got my hood mounted today and snapped some pics. I'm happy with the way PB hood hinges Installed and work. The front clip is just lightly bolted in place. I'll finish up a patch I have to do on the fire wall, then start the body work on it.

I see your Burb's roof is being used for the same thing as mine.. :lol:
Looking forward to more pics though!

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
 
The roof is too big not to use as storage. Once I get it out of the garage and clean up that will all change.

Finished off my firewall patches and finished the top cap. What a pita!! Thin metal and a million welds. Lol
The red truck is my buddies. He has been building it for a couple of years. It was his grandfathers and he got it new in 67. He's almost done building it, going to be nice.

Well I picked up some new wheels today. I have a client that is redoing a really nice 68 am these wheels were on it. He hates them. He ordered TT2's and so I picked these up for a song. I will be polishing these up to see what they look like.
I haven't done anything on the burb I've been working hard on the nova. That is almost done so I'll be working on the burb soon.
