i scuffed and painted my core support and battery tray over the weekend, that way i can get it perm. bolted down and figure out my wiring (no pics) also cleaned and painted my gauge bezel, painted the needles, and hand polished the lens. not brand new, but a hell of a lot better than before. just have to repin the original plug (going from idiot guages), figure out my wiring the cluster and then put it in. also reset my odometer to 0's..

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
Makin some good progress there Kevin! Those gauges came out really clean looking. Tip: that new master cylinder and booster will look old and rusty real quick so make sure you clear coat the h3ll out of it so it stays nice and shiney for a looong time!!!

Another option is to use Duplicolor caliper paint, the kit that applies with the brush is easiest to apply with the cylinder/booster already mounted. Stands up real well to fluid, heat, etc.

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
Yeah rattle works fine, it isn't as thick as the caliper paint but holds up pretty good, and is cheap and easy to reapply when needed. Not much brake fluid is gonna get on it anyway just make sure you cover it with a plastic bag and a towel when filling! It will keep that cool raw look for a long time. My alternator still looks great!

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
good idea, i already noticed some flash rust on the mc lid...
well, im hoping i did this dash right. the only thing i didnt do was change the bulbs but i can do that with the gauge still in. got the headlight switch, wiper switch, and choke cable back in along with the dash...    i havent hooked up the trans linkage to the shifter yet, but is that the reason why the turn signal base spins some when i turn them on? like the shifter housing moves...im thinking once i get the shifter linkage connected to the rod to the trans it wont do this? or did i not tighten something up right in the steering column? on a side note..scored a nice set of 2001 suburban front and middle row seats off craigslist...for $75!

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
Hey Kev, didn't quite follow on your question about the turn signal spinning on the column. The seats are freakin awesome! Sale em for a nice profit and get some old school bus bench seats for it!!!

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
^^ lol
well i would have thrown the originals back in but my friend ran over them with his 4x4, thinking they were in the scrap pile.... about the column, the metal case that the shifter housing is bolted to, with the turn signal inside...when i put the blinker down, the case moves down a little, when i put it back up the case moves along with it. in turn, its also "moving the gear selection" on the indicator (from N to R, or from N to D1, etc..), even though its not actually shifting gears...if that makes any sense.... im not sure if there is something inside the column that keeps it stationary..or if its the part on the column under the hood that bolts to the transmission shifter linkage..that keeps it stationary this thing...

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
That's an odd ball problem.....kinda like "my buddy ran over my seats thinking they were in the scrap heap" problem.
I am not sure if the turn signal cam would have anything to do with this, but I doubt it. The shift indicator should move freely, but down at the base where the turn signal is I don't think it should. Maybe test it by taping the column so it won't move like it is hooked to linkage. Is everything tight on the column outside the firewall?

im assuming everything is tight inside the column, i put everything back the same way it came out. steering wheel bolt is fully tightened, everything under the hood is tightened... the base is the only thing that moves, its buggin the hell out of me!

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
not a whole lot of anything goin on..
i did pull out all of the airbag wiring, the gauges, gauge airline. i re-routed the gauge line, put new wiring (trailer wiring), made some nifty weatherpack connectors for the valves, pulled all of the metal clamps that touched any airline and put rubber insulated clamps, then ran the wiring and gauge airline through the rear floor. also re-grounded all of the valves to a ground strip, cleaned up all the connectors and put some dielectric grease. also changed out the pressure switch wire with some that is designed to be in weather (other wire i had was crap). then wire loomed almost all of it...

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!
going to wire up the compressor switch today and get the gauges back in today. i moved all of it so that the wiring wont go through the firewall. its going under the carpet, under the front seats, and come out through a custom console that i will build later.
been working on all the under hood wiring also, just waiting on getting the driver fender back on so i can finalize the routing of the main under hood wiring. will be buying everything else under the hood this week to get this thing running hopefully. might even start on the tubs and rear wood for the floor i am going to build..
