All right then, how about a net mesh? Something you see in the rear pockets of a mini van. You know the style: black diamond elastic web stuff. Just a thought.

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Thanks Mark, maybe we can do the rivets....thinking whatever I do needs to go with the theme of the truck. Now...to identify a theme.
Thank you Rob, the netting could look good. And fairly easy to do. Appreciate that 98. Really enjoying the updates on your Burb! |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
a pretty crude moch up of maybe some dimple dies with some mesh and rivets
just throwing some visuals out there. Its tuff to balance everything out and think so far ahead. You might make a killer piece somewhere but it sticks out like a sore thumb compared to the rest.

Thanks Sssingo, good to see you back!
99, that looks awesome! Really appreciate your creativity. And you are right, whatever I do there doesn't need to stick out like a sore thumb. Gotta follow a theme. |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Good rendition on the door.
Remember if you use the screen & rivets you'll need to tie that into the interior someplace else so it doesn't look like an afterthought (just my 2 cents here). Another thought is just to dimple the door so it matches the two panels on each side of it. Simple & not overstated. Again - my opinion here. R46 |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Here is what I used for my fuel door that would work well.

Just cut the door and send them out to me. Leave room for bead shrink |

And thank you for your offer for doing the beading! I don't have a bead roller and think I will be able to hook up with one of my metal shaping buddies. Will touch base if that doesn't work out. Looking forward to getting the powertrain fabb'ed in place. |

Doug, since you can't figure out which end that trans goes on, why don't you just load it all up and send it my way.. Sorry, as soon as I saw that pic it just hit me...Jim

I like the looks of the panel in post411 from99 t0life; That seem to fit your interior the best. Just my 2cents worth. T-P Auto Tim |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Drifters it was good to get some wrenches in my hands today. More my comfort zone. Will either modify the factory harness or may use BP automotive on this one. Last LS i put in was the 56 Chevy and we used PSI.

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
sweet second run on the "99r46". can't wait to see that LS stripped down. I got one sitting waiting and I HATE, see all the factory stuff on it. can't wait to tear into it. I'm gonna feel like a stressed out newborn on sourcing and learning all the ins and outs of it. Just finding different brackets and intake and this and that, just seems like a lot but as easy as the ol small blocks can be, those are alot of nickel and dimming too. Just a new learning curve for most of us. Can't wait to see it come together.

Doug, never seen an engine lift like that one before, looks like it should do the job...Jim

I hadn't either Jim and I was tired of stressing every time I installed an engine next to a nice firewall. Only bad part on this one is it is specific to LS. |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Today I took the 99R46 boxes to a buddies shop so he can make the cover lids for them. He is a talented metal shaper, has a really nice shop, and wow...a 300 foot long building full of personal vehicles / projects, customers projects and many Chevy truck parts. His Dad is REALLY into 60 - 66 Chevy / GMC trucks.
Thought you might enjoy a look too. |
