Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Right side too. Funny thing, it took me twice as long to do the second one. Measure, cut, weld, grind back out, measure twice, cut, weld....I think it was too nice out to focus.
So I didn't get through the to do list on Saturday.... Next Saturday headed to Hanover PA for the week to visit with daughter and family so shop time will be non-existent for awhile. |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
I think I'm gonna get the Texas run Next week... will you be back by Thursday (28th)? On my way back I would love to stop by and check out the build and shake your hand... can I pull a semi in your place?

Drifters, I know right...second one mopped the floor with me a bit.
Possmguts, that would be way cool! Unfortunately we will still be on our trip. And plenty of room for a semi so maybe catch it on the next trip. |

There was some space left in the back of the shop and my friends / neighbors managed to fill it with one of their pieces of equipment.

AD,
Nice work on the installation of the exhaust tips in the running boards. I've been wanting to do the same thing on mine. Thanks for posting the pics! |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Like many of my hot rod parts, I ordered these through Rutters Rod Shop. Bob and Pat are great people and use what they sell in their numerous customer build projects.
Plus Mike, their sales representative, has been in the business a long time, has a ton of contacts from working for Heidts for years and understands what works and what doesn't. He will steer you right and provide great customer service. Unfortunately, the master cylinder lid was scratched out of the box. I sent Mike an email on a Friday night just to let him know the parts arrived and mentioned as an aside the lid was scratched. He responded right away and handled the issue with Wilwood. A few days later the new lid arrived. These builds are hard to do. Receiving great customer support from a company like Rutters Rod Shop removes a bunch of hassle in getting the build done. I can't say enough good about them. |

Thanks Jim, probably more than needed on this Burb. And for once I went for something kinda cool rather than practical. Quote:
So we are vacationing in Hanover PA visiting our daughter, son in law and granddaughters as we haven't seen them since last August. Sitting at a stop light and this Corvette rumbled up beside me. Coolest part was the driver and passenger were up in their 70's or more and were grinning from ear to ear. Like they were trying to look cool and not smile, though you could see the sheer joy on their faces. Loved it! Note the Moon eyes, Sunoco and Flowmaster stickers on the window. |
