Hopefully next time I'll be able to run by. I would love to make a trip up in the Burb at some point....

Small progress, but progress none the less. I've been focusing on the 68 trying to get it ready for the last leg of the PowerTour, but I did get my upper and lower hoses figured out. I just need to work on the radiator mounts and then the cooling system will be done. I picked up some adapters from Docs Blocks for the a/c also. Looks like they will have to be modified slightly to make them work, but what else is new.....

Rob that thing is looking amazing!!!

Good quality on the trim? I need to pick up a set of wood trim in the future (not for my '69) and am looking for a nice set.

That chrome looks great! I think it's really the only way to go with a burb or a long truck. It's really surprising to me how many people don't like the upper and lower trim. This is a first class build. Wish I had the bucks to go as far as you have!

Mar-K makes very nice trim. I've heard people say on par with or better than NOS. They build it theirself in the Heartland of America, .

Thanks MC. The trim certainly helps break it up and not look like a limo, .

Not yet. I'm still trying to figure out how to make that happen. Maybe in a year or so....

Slow go on the Burb, but here are a couple of "inspiration pictures", . I'm supposed to have the glass installed next week. More pics to follow.

Between all your vehicles, You should have everything figured out for mine and tested. What gauges are those? Do they come with all the correct sensors for the LS engine. Did you set them up yourself in the cluster or preinstalled? Looking real nice. The Mar-K trim looks real good, I might have to run over there one of these days.
