Re: 68 Burb - Project - GoldMember
I had to work late the past few days, so I've only had about 2 hours to work in the shop..
Here is a peek at the progress I Made, ( I didn't take a bunch of pics, but you get the idea) I have a heater assembly restored and ready to go, so I'll drop the box off the firewall, stuff a new heater core in and after seeing if buffing out the firewall is sufficient for now, install that. If not, I will re-paint the firewall first. Cleaning and painting the entire frame is on tap starting with the front first. Plus, I have decided to go ahead and install my Accuair now. The more I thought about it, the more I didn't really like the idea of man-O-matic ride height... Then I only have one item left (upper & lower ball joints) to replace on the cross member going in as I picked up 73-up style dropped spindles... More to come

Re: 68 Burb - Project - GoldMember
Thanks! Had to get a sneak peek since I was going to be gone all weekend.. The fender is simply sitting there.. Hope to get back on it for awhile tonight.
Thanks, I'm digging it so far.. Quote:
I'm interested to hear more about your setup.. Great!, thanks for following along.. Here are a couple more shots I took on Thursday night before I left, figured I would post them to keep the history/progress consistent. Top down Now you can sort of tell just how much the back needs to come down.. lol

Re: 68 Burb - Project - GoldMember
Long weekend of driving, (dropped my daughter off at college) was about 700 miles round trip, then work got in the way as soon as I returned, so no shop time till last night.
I spent most of my time on the tedious stuff, cleaning and painting a bunch of brackets and prepping the power steering box.. I did manage to dig out the rear axle and test fit the disc brakes.. I originally rebuilt this for my sons 68, but since he is headed down the LS path, he snagged my bulletproof custom Dana 60 for his.. I had this together once before, and it still look like this. I also put the last skim coat on the patch around the heater box, will see if I can finish that tonight and paint the firewall... Mocked in the front sway bar as I was trying to decide if I need dropped front brackets or not.. I think it might be a good idea, so off come a few more rivets tonight. Last step for the night was adding upper shock re-locators, but I forgot to take pics of them.. They are from POL (Performance Online) Got a much anticipated pair of boxes in the mail too, .... I am diving into this one head first, as I ordered a FiTech fuel system.. As they are fairly new just launching their products, you have may not heard of them. Its a bunch of engineers who have been making fuel injection components/systems for the OEM, branching out and trying to help out the aftermarket guys like us. Here is their site http://fitechefi.com/ and some videos that show the product.. I will do my best to create a video of the installation from start to finish when the time comes.. I got the Go EFI 4 and the Fuel Command Center Can't wait to get to this point!! of course, lots to do yet...

Re: 68 Burb - Project - GoldMember
Do you know the size and pitch on that nut for the E-brake lever? I bought calipers without brackets (doh) but then I found someone that sells the brackets and springs, so I have those now, but I dont know what the nut size and pitch is, though I haven't looked at it too hard to figure it out. Just wondering if you knew.
