Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!

The roof is too big not to use as storage. Once I get it out of the garage and clean up that will all change.

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!



Well I picked up some new wheels today. I have a client that is redoing a really nice 68 am these wheels were on it. He hates them. He ordered TT2's and so I picked these up for a song. I will be polishing these up to see what they look like.
I haven't done anything on the burb I've been working hard on the nova. That is almost done so I'll be working on the burb soon.

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!



Knowing how patient I am I spent about 40 min cleaning one of the wheels last night to see how they look cleaned up. Not bad at all.
