Pimpin!!!! (burb is done-ish) - Page 2 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Longhorn Man · 10-05-2008, 07:11 PM

Dingfodgy... I *hope* to get the assorted colors covered in yellow tinted epoxy primer here soon-ish, like, maybe before spring, I do still need to install the new tailgate and hatch. I just want it to be all in the same color... at least, from a distance. The paint and body will have to wait till I find a better job, which is a little rough right now.
I gotta say, I am enjoying just rollin it as is at the moment. I just put about 125 miles on it today, just bumpin around town, and then did some freeway miles, out to springfield and back... I have to say, the ride is great, and the attention.... I could put a cat on the roof, set him on fire, and it wouldn't attract any more attention. I'm getting thumbs up from young teens, little old men, even some of the import guys are nodding.
I'm diggin it.
The not so future plans, include very black paint. I am still debating if i want to go sleek, and do it all in black, or more traditional, and have the roof and grill white... and if I do the white, I am still wondering if I want white white, or an antique, or bone white.
I got plenty of time to think about that though.

I like how you represented almost every GM truck color though...

looks good, with the nose job too..
Every time I see that door I think of our training helicopters at Fort Rucker. They always paint the side doors orange so that you can see them easier!!

Number98 · 10-05-2008, 08:35 PM

Looking good LHM.....

**Hart_Rod** · 10-05-2008, 09:27 PM

Looks good Andy!

CG · 10-12-2008, 09:40 PM

Niiiicceeee!!!! I really like the look of those wheels and tires too. I hope you keep it this way and avoid the big bling in the future. I have a set just like that. They are on my sons burb right now. And considering the shape its in I think they look great on his too.

chrislehr · 10-12-2008, 09:45 PM

as you know, im considering joining the burbs. Congrats. I have and will be watching.

I look forward to watching and asking questions

Longhorn Man · 10-12-2008, 10:22 PM

I like the bling wheels, but I also like the old school wheels... and rallys are right up there with the both of them.
I probably won't do bling wheels sor the simple fact that they are expensive. I have less than $500 wrapped up in the wheel/tire combo as you see here.
I like those numbers... esp when you figure, i have $400 in the tires alone.

Jtrux · 10-12-2008, 11:09 PM

Did you clean that motor up or did you buy it like that?

Bus Ted Knuckle · 10-12-2008, 11:16 PM

Awsome Andy! I like it...I like it a lot.

**N2TRUX** · 10-12-2008, 11:18 PM

Nice work Andy....

corn · 10-12-2008, 11:58 PM

Looks great Andy! Quite a change...

**special-K** · 10-13-2008, 05:40 AM

The best part is group seating.That`s an adventure machine for sure.

*Do a cream with the black.(a touch of red pinstripe)

68C15 · 10-13-2008, 05:50 AM

I'm diggin the multi color. but then I am biased. it just screams "I am trying to fix her up but driving is so much fun". the wheels just set it all off perfectly.

**Yukon Jack** · 10-13-2008, 11:16 AM

I'm diggin' the Burb for sure - just screams coolness!

67ChevyRedneck · 10-13-2008, 11:21 AM

Looks like I missed this last week... Congrats man, she's lookin' REAL good!

no sir... it looked clean-ish, but pretty booring in comparison.

Remember, put the old coolant where the cat won't get to it.

I spent right around $450 bucks cleaning it up, and doing a stock cam swap.
Vacuum Advance can... 22.99
Cam shaft... 53.68
Lifter set ... 35.68
8 push rods 23.76
Assembly lube ... 7.24
V belt... 12.80
V belt...12.34
V belt...10.70
Gasket kit ... 50.70
2 exhaust donuts ... 2.32
2 motor mounts ... 17.66
8 plugs (R45TS) ... 14.90 (rememberr when they were a buck a piece???)
2 sets of manifold studs and nuts ... 8.54
2 cans semi flat black ... 14.58
2 cans chevy orange ... 10.18
EOS (zink oil treatment from the dealer) ... 15.39
brass freeze plug kit ... 33.47
1 bottle of MAPP gas and torch tip ...24.82 (and yeah, it got the broken bolts out!!!)
2 cans of carb cleaner ... $3
Allen head bolts for valve covers ... 7.43
By pass hose on intake ... 4.99
battery cable... 9.99
glass fuel filter ... 9.99
Oils and filters were free, my job sucks but it has it's perks
plug wires, wire loom kit, and HEI were all from before. The HEI was installed the day i got the truck, and the rest installed shortly after getting it home... these numbers not included in this total.
Air cleaner free from a buddy
Air filter ... free from dismantled truck (dang near new filter... off a 6.5 chevy)
Chrome Chevelle valve covers... free from a buddy
Total spent on motor;
$440.12 (if I did the math right... which is a 50/50 shot)
