Re: The Burb a long time coming
Justin over @ Scott's Hot Rods and Chassis said they are starting my chassis this month and would send some build pics.
I still can't believe we are building this thing ... from hey my truck needs some work to ...hey which year of SEMA is it going to make an appearance at.

Re: The Burb a long time coming
Also came up with a new item to make the interior guy roll his eyes ...
Since I have been told by some that I am already committing sacrilege in so many ways on this project by cutting it and adding a Double Din, to setting the system up to run a FI on a lil twin screw on Flex Fuel ... So I am now going to need a Overhead / Headliner Monitor POD ... cause the interior is going full out digital with a touch screen, minus the HDX, doors, seat and window switches. I figure I am going I might as well go big.

Re: The Burb a long time coming
piece heading to Mo's along with the double din case for final sizing.
Need to get some interior renderings for them done so they have a guide and so I will stop making changes Next on the list is vintage a/c controls for HDX placement and vent choices

Re: The Burb a long time coming
Looks like it's gonna be quite the Burb, gonna give Rob a run for his money.

Re: The Burb a long time coming
lol Rob is safe ...
![]() And the HDX is Dakota Digital's gauge replacement cluster with a lot of features one of which allows me to receive boost information directly into the cluster without an extra gauge and it has a few other tricks Double Din is a stereo that requires double the space to fit. 3" tall cd player .... to a 6" touch screen maybe ..?

I opted for the Torsion Spline Sway Bar, Wilwood ProSpindles, Power Rack & Pinion, and RideTech HQ Shocks.

Re: The Burb a long time coming
Well picked up some new old parts for the Burb yesterday
Thanks to richard2717 I am able to hand Blake real tail light and back up light buckets to fill in those holes in the back end ... no matter what a vendor tells you they ARE NOT selling a Suburban tail light housing ... they are ALL tagged incorrectly ...sorry $.02 Anyway, I was dreading the thought of having them stop to make some from scatch because that's what mine were ... scratch Anyway thank you Richard for your help and fair business

Re: The Burb a long time coming
Is this your dash?? Or a similar one? I noticed your fill piece has a bead rolled edge. This pic doesn't appear the same.
Curious how easy it is to handle the edge where the ash tray used to be. I don't have access to slip rolls

... or work an extra 5-10 years and pay a professional to do it ... and I was already working besides Blake and his crew went through it and found issues I would have never found , until that part showed it self and needed replacement. And yes a donor would have been cheaper but it wouldn't have been the same tank that got so many thumbs up and me from A to B so many times when it should have said no more ![]()
