The '67 Burb Build Thread

[project 67 sub]

hahaha yah me to, dont think i would have trusted the old ones to make it to the show and back lol.

[project 67 sub]

cut out the top of the spring pocket on the passanger side, painted it all, and installed the plate, bag, fitting, and line. then i put the upper a arm back on. i also installed some heater hose around it for more protection of the air line, then i started running the air line inside through the side of the fire wall behind the fender, then i installed that fender and painted it green to match the rest of the burb. also had to take the drivers side fender back off so i can start on that side.

i seen those pics, its coming out very nice

[project 67 sub]

pulled the drivers side apart, drilled some holes so i can do some cutting tomorrow, and purchased some outer tie rods.

[project 67 sub]

cut out the top of the driver side spring pocket, bolted it all back together, and installed bag plate, ran the line, and installed the bag

[project 67 sub]

reinstalled the drivers side fender, wiper cowl, front splash pan below grille, and finished running my air line to the center console

[project 67 sub]

just some pics of my line ran under the dash and down to the console

[BC Toy chest]

Lookin' good, really nice Burb you got there.

[project 67 sub]

thanks BC Toy chest , now i just have to find a reliable way to air it up on the cheap for now. anyone have any ideas for that, it needs to be portable???

[1sik7t2]

go,go,go damn lookin good almost there don't they make a tiny portable compresser u can plug into the cig lighter,,,,would take forever to build up air but.....or better yet...IF i make it to the show, i can build up ur air 4 u i have a extra hose hooked up for tires, intertubes, dolls(my friends, of course) lol etc.... i'd hook u up

[project 67 sub]

hahahaa, for sure lol. that sounds like a plan if i dont figure something out before then, as i wanna lay it out once i get their and parked and what not

[project 67 sub]

started installing the new front brake lines and outter tie rod ends, had to readjust the passanger side fender as it decided to move on me some how, and also installed the 3rd door sill plate and wiper/headlight switches i got from sharpie

edit: oh and i pit the steering shaft back on

[kev2809]

i just put new 73+ lines on mine. your gonna need an adapter fitting for the driver side, they are 2 diff. sizes. unless you changed your hardlines...

[project 67 sub]

they were probably already changed i am sure of before i got it as was the whole front suspension, they went right on without a single problem

[project 67 sub]

repainted the brake calipers, painted the spindles, and installed both, now i just need to finish doing the lower a arms and i can install them and put the wheels on then i can drop the front back down

[67chevy1series]

looking good eric i like the red calipers even though on my truck you can see them because the steel rim lol

[project 67 sub]

haha yah me to. thats why i repainted them red again, that and they stand out real nice behind my black wheels. the engine that i am building is the same exact color as the calipers, should stand out real nice in a black engine compartment lol.

[67chevy1series]

yea your burb is pretty dark you should show us pics of it out side of the garage lol

[project 67 sub]

here is the most recent pic of it outside, had to go back to the page i posted it on so i could save it and repost it for yah lol.
