1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)

[krue]

It looks like it's coming along nicely.

Thought you had left us Rob, it was soooo quiet from over there. Glad you got back to it. Can't wait to see it finished.

Keep us posted on that engine install I'm doing the same installation in a 1958 Chevy Truck. I have the engine, trans, computer, and all the wiring I'm just not a the point of installation yet, still doing body work.

First of all, I hope all the Vets out their had a great Veterans day. Thanks to their dedication and sacrifice, we all get to enjoy the freedom to do or have just about anything that we want.

Well, since I got the day off, I tried to get some more work done on the Burb. I actually feel like I got something accomplished. I finished up the drivers floor, kick panel and rocker. I then welded up some holes that the previous owner had put in the dash. And finally, I cut off both rear lower quarter panels!!!!!!!

[Hart_Rod]

Dash repairs.

I started filling the holes on the upper body trim. 6 down and 41 to go . I got tired of that pretty quickly so I cut the rear lower quarters off. All I need to do now is sandblast (mostly surface rust) and POR15 the inside and then I can weld the new panels back on.

Thanks Bill, maybe we'll both get these done so we can drive them next year .

[shifty]

Add me to that list, please. If I can be productive enough this weekend (been saying this for a while), I might be posting video of my "first" fireup of the engine

After that, it's a fight to get the stupid clutch bracket fabbed.

Got my cooling fan install FAQ thread in place. Enjoy

Sandblastsed both inner quarters and brushed on some POR15. Hopefully I'll be able to start welding them on tomorrow. Last picture is the fuel door I'm going to install.

Hartrod. When you weld that panel back on that you cut off, do you put the por15 on there before you weld the panel or after? Can you get to it after to apply the por15???

R

The rear panel, or even the front panel. Anywhere that two bare metals are being welded together. Do you put the por15 down, put the new metal then weld it???

Anywhere that two seems are coming together...

Finished up the passenger rear quarter panel. Here's some pics.

Do you put port15 on the back of that new panel that your welding on?

Yes, just try to stay away from the weld area. After you have it all welded, then you can take a garden sprayer and put POR15 in it and spary up in an access panel to cover the rest.

[Palf70Step]

Nice job!

[Hart_Rod]

I got the drivers side rear lower quarter panel on today and welded up all the trim holes on both sides. Next, tail lights and gas lid, then I'm going to media strip the "Big Ship".

[Hart_Rod]

Gutted the inside and took my seats to the upholstery shop. Probably going to go with black and white houndstooth.
