just read thru your build, sweet sub you have

don't be afraid to tear into your instrument cluster, i swapped an amp gauge into a volt gauge into my 58 cluster

hammered flat and re-drilled the old face to fit the new gauge
a little jb weld to glue the old needle on the volt gauge and i think it came out alright

**CHIZZLER** · 08-23-2012, 11:07 PM

Well guys its been a little while.been enjoying driving the burb.as always got the itch to start another project and picked up a 40 pickup.looks pretty solid.some rust in the usual areas.very complete.any help on what ifs to think about.have a scotts kit in the front of the burb and no problems at all.m2,4-link,bags yada yada.thanks for lookin.chizzler.

ratty 46 · 08-23-2012, 11:28 PM

Looks like that's a solid little start.

As for the construction work - I'd say stay with the scott's stuff - you already know how to work with it & already confirm its quality. Why mess with a good thing??

Bags - YES. Rear - 4 link. SBC for power or ... LS engine would be interesting.

Good luck & I'll be watching the progress.

I hear you guys.scotts is great stuff.i was doin about 90 down the freeway 2 weeks ago and people were lookin at me like what the f*** is this guy doin. I will talk to justin and see what he says.

**youngrodder** · 08-24-2012, 09:38 AM

Chizzer-

I love the burb. It has such character. Good luck with the new project. I'm feeling the itch myself but I need to finish my interior first...boooo. For my next project I would like to build a burb....

Marc

fredscarryall · 08-24-2012, 02:26 PM

your burb came out awesome.i dig the center caps on your wheels.would like to see some pics of your engine and interior.what kind of air management system did you put in there.i think a LS motor would be cool in your 40.i hear msd make a good priced wiring kit and tci make a nice transmission controller.

**CHIZZLER** · 08-27-2012, 07:35 PM

So i got home the other night from a local cruise and parked in the shop and as i was walking away it sounded like a gun shot from inside the shop.i run in there to find that one of my bags had blown the bottom out.i only had about 70 pounds on the gauge.its a slam 6 bag.any one else have this happen.

sickred72 · 08-27-2012, 07:39 PM

i have an extra firestone if you need it. or if you need to borrow one of my slam 6 bags i can loan you one, i probably wont be installing mine for a couple of weeks.

**CHIZZLER** · 08-27-2012, 07:50 PM

thanks man thats killer.i talked to justin today and he's gonna take care of me.

sickred72 · 08-27-2012, 07:52 PM

Cool let me know if you need it ( so you can cruise this week ) and just replace mine when you get it. Just got off the phone with justin.
