PS- do you attend the Puyallup Goodguys show, I try to go every other year.

Never been to that SM but would like to go one of these years. My background is this; borrowed a welder from a friend and started cutting/welding

I actually attribute some of my abilities to building and modifying R/C cars and R/C airplanes as a kid and into adulthood. The idea of combining parts from different cars starts at a young age when R/C cars are involved. And the airplanes built from kits and modified from scratch provide a lot of cutting, fitting, shaping, reinforcing, and engineering opportunities.

Now I'm a field engineer in the semiconductor industry, but I don't credit that occupation with cultivating fabrication skills. Simply because none of my coworkers do this kind of stuff with cars... Thanks for the compliments!

Me too, dammit! I want to see the Burb up close.

As a software engineer, it's actually rare that one of my co-workers is not only a great engineer, but a gearhead with a '65 C10 as well. So he and I will gear out and make the rest of the geeks nervous.

watahyahknow · 12-04-2010, 12:27 AM

heh heh heh they prolly will compute the distance between the bumper and the body to the thou just to nag you about it being off

thinking about it you guys prolly be the ideal people to make the engine run of a mega squirt digital injection and ignition and build a dash with tft screens and virtual gauges

How about this...since folks are pressing for updates, they can drop a little donation in the cookie jar or offer to donate whatever it is you need to get going again?

On an unrelated note, I thought it was awesome to see you and your son putting on the custom decals on your 64 especially considering the skills you have, taking the time to still do stuff with him is the coolest thing in the world. Good on ya!

Haha, thanks. The primary issue is time/travel. If there was a way to take donations for that I would be the first to put out a can

I get the kids involved whenever I can. Gotta train my replacements

Update for me is. This is just a mock up even. It comes apart again.

Mad Rods · 02-08-2011, 10:47 PM

I like the curvature of the burb gate too. That peak could line up with the fender line/peak. Maybe I'll make a similar profiled piece out of sheet... Thanks for the ideas.

After looking at the burb shape I felt it would be easy for you at least to reproduce also. Thanks for being open its fun to bench race this stuff, whatever you do will be killer.

The last real update on this was 06/17/06. Pretty sad...

I still have all of it, though I have "borrowed" the flipped grille for the 64:

Lately I've been having evil thoughts of using the front fenders from this project on the 64 as well, and giving the short-fleet bed I have waiting for it the same wheel-arch treatment.

Then this... Use the Vette platform for my son's 68 VW squareback:

What's the color on the 64 does it have a pearl in it?

The Minx is not enjoyable at the moment, though I love working on it (especially with the rotisserie)

It's called spray-bomb white

Rustoleum Satin White. It's just the lighting/exposure giving it that look.
