Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
The truck and trailer were able to squeeze in too, leaving the front of the shop open for our event this coming week end.

You’re a busy man Doug!
I think you have all things on the road for a good event in your shop. Cindy would be proud, I think she’s helping from above! Looking forward to see all the nice pictures!!

LS wiring seminar, crimping practice with various crimpers , brake line forming and flaring seminar with nickel copper, steel and stainless steel line to practice / compare. Three welding areas with torch, MIG, TIG and some talented folks to show us tips. Metal shaping opportunity is thrown in too. Gonna be great! |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
This sounds more like a “Workshop Carbuilding” then a Wire and Fire meet up.
Doug, you have your things together on this one!! As Greg said, a beautiful, clean workspace! (I have to check it out myself sometime...)

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Thanks Kees, you are welcome any time.
We had an amazingly positive day with so many talented friends! Special thank you to my new friends Scott and Greg, who traveled from Colorado and Alabama to be here. I really appreciate them sharing their time and talent! Really good guys who are talented builders. And thank you to Lucas, another talented member here who was enthusiastically involved too! So many wonderful people involved and contributing to the hospice fundraising. Gonna need to order more shirts. Late and tired after a long week. Will share more later. Yes, the burb started and ran fine. |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
That was a lot of fun Doug! It was a great bunch of guys and a lot of progress was made especially a really nice job on the trans tunnel and firing the motor. I’m sure you’ll post a pic of the tunnel when they get it finalized and in place and probably a video of the motor running? Greg is right that it was motivating and while I may not get a suburban project I will definitely get working to finish off my truck! Thanks for putting on a great event!

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Kees, Steven and Jim. I was deeply moved so many came so far to contribute and participate! With T shirt sales, raffle, 50/50 and donations, we raised $2,000 for hospice.
Greg and Scott, I was so honored you two came so far to participate! Not only are you good people, you are really talented and I made two new friends. Gotta admit, I often feel like Rudy the water boy running onto the field for Notre Dame. Hopefully you made it home safely. I will post updates when I can grab time to organize pics for upload. Facebook has been updated. In meantime, here is the trans tunnel a couple of my metal shaping friends made. |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Tunnel turned out looking good Doug....it looks like he cut the toeboard flange off and welded it back on.....did it not fit right?....I thought he had it fitting good...
Made it home just fine...drove in that white crap all the way to Tenn.... Dont forget...none of those brake lines have been tightened...they're just finger tight...

They didn’t fit the toe boards initially, but once we re bent the floor board flanges on day 2 to lower the tunnel 3/4”, they ended up lining up so I just welded them back on. |
