I know that some one posted pics of this burb already but I took a ton of pics.

Little chop can hardly tell.

shaved handels

Supercharged LS7

4 doors, all with power windows

20/22's

Looked like a art type chassis with independent rear.

and on and on

wow....

I love the satin gun metal gray look against a very traditional gloss blue. Amazing craftsmanship. Wish I could do even half that good of a job!

[BlueBowtie]

Good lookin truck but the grille kinda kills it for me.

[blackdiesel]

Making doors where there was no doors is crazy. If you had that custom biult for you, it would cost a bundle. Not that it would be cheap doing it all yourself. Jared that should give you some good inspration there. Now lets see you get back on yours. And don't give me this new baby crap, your truck was your first born....lol. You've even had it longer than your wife, so it was your first love also.

Love it, love the grill, interior, exhaust outlets, just love it!

What a work of art. Man you think you see some nice rides and then someone throws a build like this in and pow. That is nice ....
and it probably started like this ...



this is for sale up my way might just have to go and have a look at it...

I like the grille fine, and practically everything else,but jeez I hate wagon wheels on old cars. They only look good on really old stuff, like stagecoaches and covered wagons.

You should, I would even help you purchase it, if it has stock seats in it of course J/K. I thought the 57 looked cool, but I like the stock look.

Wow, that is probably the nicest burb I have ever seen..... and I love the four doors.
Makes me want to get busy on my 57.

Good to see something fresh for a change.

i always wondered about making a 4dr. burb. totally sick

[Houston54]

That is nicely done. Well thought out and executed.

I hope the owner has the cajones to actually drive it. Too many of these vehicles get built and rarely see the road.

This is typical of what you see at GG events though. No inspection stickers, no plates, no miles, just pretty static exhibits of great metal work, great paint and high dollar interiors.

I can still appreciate it though. The ones that are built well and are driven on the streets are the ones that deserve the awards IMO.

I love that painted engine bay. I plan on having mine mostly painted with little to no chrome. something different

[Tri5Nerd]

How did he get the floating bar in the grille?

[49gmc]

whats the middle switch on the console for ?
power locks ?

[classicchev]

Amazing, like everything that was done, way over the top. That grill is too cool. I have a 57, just a little inspiration for many years down the road.

Are the rear doors suicide? I was going to do that years ago and in my designs the rear doors had to be suicided in order to open properly without haveing exposed hinges. I sold the burb before the project started. In my design the burb was going to be done to look original with the slider window in the rear door and original handles, latches and hinges. After seeing this I wish I would have built it.

I showed my wife the pics and the next truck I buy will be a burb. I think she is partial to burbs I had a 87 burb when we started dating and she loved it.
