got my new tires installed today, bought some more spray paint to finish and paint a few things, reinstalled my rear lower bag bracket crossmember, drilled the hole for the lighted cig lighter (now i need to wire it up), sprayed some rust reformer on the inside of the drivers side fender, and bought some chrome exhaust tips.

installed the rear bags and lines, aired it up and set it on the ground. then i moved the jack stands to the front, so i can tear it apart in the next couple of days or so to do the front bag and drop spindle install. also installed the chrome exhaust tips.

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

wire wheeled and grinded down the a arms, want to get them sand blasted before paint and reassembly. gonna go back out and start tearing apart the front end in a few minutes

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

Glad to see you got some new tires. Since the last time I saw them, they were so bald on the outer edge you could see the air. :lol:

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

hahaha yah me to, dont think i would have trusted the old ones to make it to the show and back lol.

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
 

cut out the top of the spring pocket on the passanger side, painted it all, and installed the plate, bag, fitting, and line. then i put the upper a arm back on. i also installed some heater hose around it for more protection of the air line, then i started running the air line inside through the side of the fire wall behind the fender, then i installed that fender and painted it green to match the rest of the burb. also had to take the drivers side fender back off so i can start on that side.

Re: The '67 Burb Build Thread
