looking good!!!!!!!!!!!

**Nobby** · 11-08-2011, 07:40 PM

I got off early today and decided I would remove the upper windsheild panel.I drilled out 88 spot welds. I started peeling off the rusted out panel and naturally found a rat nest.I cleaned it out and discovered a calender from 1968 in the roof opening.I love to find stuff in old cars,kinda tells a story.

**Nobby** · 11-21-2011, 08:10 PM

I told yall it was gonna be a slow build:lol Got my fresh air box blasted and primed/painted,I'll try to weld it on before Turkey day.

McMurphy · 11-21-2011, 10:59 PM

Wow nice work so far!
I gotta ask though, your fresh air box, was there alot of gunk in the bottom of it when you got it off there?

**Nobby** · 11-27-2011, 04:39 PM

Well I got the pass side fab work done, now time to move to drivers side.I couldnt stand seeing it stock height so I pulled the springs and threw on some 54 caps

now I like looking at it again.

**Nobby** · 12-11-2011, 10:13 AM

Had a day to work on the burb,so we focused on one side at a time.Knocked it down to the metal,pulled a few dents and epoxy primed in 6 hrs. I still can't believe how good shape this thing is in.

LT1 Burb · 12-11-2011, 10:58 AM
