Re: 53 BURBAN barn find

He was at the shop after 5:00 still taking care of customers. Thats customer service.will post pics after it gets here in about a week or so. Still knockin out rivets. What a pain in the a**.

Re: 53 BURBAN barn find
Looking at the location and it looks like an auto trans (mount on tailshaft) support.

Re: 53 BURBAN barn find
My 50 still has the crossmember and I don't know what it's for because nothing sits on it, other than the frame where it bolts too it doesn't touch anything. If I can remember I snap a pic tomorrow.

Re: 53 BURBAN barn find
You are moving fast. I had mine '51 for a little over 2 years before I started tearing it down. I couldn't not drive it around until I was ready to build it.

Re: 53 BURBAN barn find
Here ya go Chizzler. I am pretty sure Justin (correct me if I'm wrong) has this priced at $699.00 retail and I know you guys get a discount off of that. It goes from the the top of the cowl all the way to the floor; it includes the kick panels. The recess can be made custom also for those that want more/less space.

Re: 53 BURBAN barn find
More progress.got the notches in.running board brackets are on the ground that puts the running boards about 1" up.added about 4" to the notches to fit the frame ang get a little taller.had to cut a little bit on the inside of the frame for the rack and pinion boots.fits very snug.

Re: 53 BURBAN barn find
Here are a few pics from last night.we worked from 7:00 till 1:00 in the morning.we got the rolling chassie all mocked up. Only a few minor details to deal with. we made the step notches longer to fit the frame better. should be bringing it back this week.scored some steel 15x5 black smoothies at a local swap meet for $60 bucks. Going to get some tires put on this week for fitment. sorry about the bad pics.
