Re: Project "Mid Life Crisis Low Rider Burb"
Its been a little while but I have been working on it steady. I got all the serpentine brackets painted and installed. That worked out well. I have been watching Ebay for a Edelbrock 2104 intake but ended up getting one from Summit with a $20 coupon. I got that installed. I have been ordering stuff from CCP and it seems like they overcharge for shipping and they take their time sending stuff out. I got the C notch, rear end conversion kit, rear shock relocator kit with gas shocks kit and the rear panard bar from them and all the shipping was high and slow.
I changed out the rear brakes from the 89 Suburban rear end. Yes I wacked myself a few times trying to pull the springs with channel locks. I will change them out to disc in the future.

Re: Project "Mid Life Crisis Low Rider Burb"
I bought all the weatherstripping from GMC Pauls. I got everything I could think of and it was $700 worth. They gave me 15% off. Thanks. Now putting on the door weatherstripping was another story. It definately takes more than 2 hands. With my wifes help it went pretty good. I got a gasket kit for the heater box and a new heater box from wansco 356 thanks and got everything painted and installed. Its fun putting everything back together. I put all the bolts and parts in ziplock baggies and labeled them and I still cant remember where they go.

Re: Project "Mid Life Crisis Low Rider Burb"
I got the intake installed today and the distributer. I also got the rear shock relocator kit done too. I got the upper bag plates drilled and mounted to the bags. I cut off about 3/4 f an inch off of the lower bag cups and got them bolted up. I am waiting on the 3/4 to 1/2 ton drop spindles from ECE. They are behind on them and its holding me up from putting the nose on. I did order new inner fenders and a new cowl hood and they should be in this week. The paint shop called to see when the burb was coming? I figure 2 weeks. For those of you installing bags with the truck together many cudos! I had a heck of a time with the drilling and I had no nose on.

Re: Project "Mid Life Crisis Low Rider Burb"
Well I have some progress to show. I got the front airbags all drilled and installed. I have been waiting for 2 months for conversion drop spindles from ECE and I still havent heard from them. I had to put the 3/4 ton spindles back on so I can continue. I bought the repo inner fenders and sent them and the radiator support to the paint shop for black paint and clear. They turned out awsome. I got the master cylinder, booster and all the brackets painted and installed. I want to get as much done in the engine compartment so I dont have to work over painted fenders. I saved all my bolts and brackets in ziplock bags and labeled them. Now I havent got a clue how it goes back together. I park my 71 Cheyenne in the garage and use that as a guide. I ordered all new front end bolts so I wouldnt have to mess with the old rusty ones.
George

Re: Project "Mid Life Crisis Low Rider Burb"
I also got the brake pedal assembly and the parking brake pedal all painted and installed. I sent out the 3 door catches, the hood hinges and the hood latch for chrome powdercoating and they came back real nice. That was $80 bucks. I got the inners all bolted up to the fenders. The gloss black is like a mirror. Got the radiator support all bolted up and the fenders installed. It took some work to get everything close. I had to trim some holes to get it close. I bought a new Goodmark cowl hood and bolted it on. A few more hours and the alignment wasnt too bad. The radiator support cushions were too high and the tops of the fenders were pinching on the doors so out they came. I had to shim about 1/2 the height of the cushions.

Re: Project "Mid Life Crisis Low Rider Burb"
Just found this thread - nice dismantle and then rebuild on this thing.
I think the before/after shot when you are done will be inspirational. Nice work! |

Re: Project "Mid Life Crisis Low Rider Burb"
That sure looks like a nice burb there. I thought about ghost flames. It took 4 months at the body shop but its finally painted.

Re: Project "Mid Life Crisis Low Rider Burb"
Well here are some pics of some progress at the body shop. I have had plenty of time to change my mind on the paint scheme and this is where we ended. These first ones are with a cell phone.
