**oldman3** · 05-29-2018, 09:50 AM

Hey Marc, this neat headlight modification showed up on another thread belonging to Tikal48. Very similar to what Mark did to mine. Thought you might want to see it. Here's the link http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...83#post8270683 and it's post number is 292...Jim

Good looking out Jim. I just thought about that headlight mod the other day when I was driving my 48 at night (which I normally don't do). My lights are not adjusted good at all.

Thank you
Marc

Any Updates?

**Advanced Design** · 12-05-2018, 11:06 AM

Thinking he is sandbagging and finishing the build for second place in our 3 way Burb build competition.

RockinKees · 12-05-2018, 04:29 PM

Marc read your post in your thread, Doug...
Now he knows almost for sure that he ends second place, or.......?

Sadly no real updates to post. I was fired from my job in June and off work for 5 months, not to mention the old company I worked for also screwed me out of commission money, so there was really no funds for the Burb. I did start a new (more stable) job in November and look to get back at the Burb. I bought the frame paint and I made arrangements with my buddy at his Hotrod shop to spray my frame in the coming weeks. I did manage to get the frame lightly body worked and ready to paint. I will show some pics of that progress once the time comes.

I think we both know that I'm racing towards 3rd.

**mongocanfly** · 12-05-2018, 10:39 PM

Sucks about your job Marc...maybe thingsll pick up now...

99 to Life · 12-05-2018, 11:21 PM

Just build trucks for a living! hope things work out for you. I am self employed and let me tell you I know all about having no funds for the build. But, God is great and trials are necessary.

**oldman3** · 12-06-2018, 12:18 AM

Marc, also sorry about the job, hope 2019 will be good for you...Jim

RockinKees · 12-06-2018, 05:49 AM

That sucks about your job!!
I know things will come your way!!

I still think you’ll be in the running for first place.....

BAM55 · 12-06-2018, 02:17 PM

Sucks about your job I've been there before and it really sucks..

On a lighter note: Really cool project I love the burbs of this era. Its one near me just sitting in a guy's backyard and he will not sell, its a good thing because I don't need another project. Nice build man.

lower50's · 12-07-2018, 01:15 PM

Sorry about your Job loss. I know it takes a while to recover form.
I'll make you a 3rd place trophy lol

**youngrodder** · 04-17-2019, 11:18 AM

I'm back on the 53....I have been busy selling parts from the LS motor that I didn't need to build some cash up. I have been working on getting my frame painted. Other than a few pieces that will be an accent color, I have the frame 90% painted. I went with a satin finish single stage urethane paint my friends that own the hotrod shop use on all of their builds. I like how it turned out. I have a few accent colors in mind for some of the other parts like the control and trailing arms.

Looking forward to some real progress over the summer.

Marc

Scott2 · 04-17-2019, 11:24 AM

Don't you worry about o'l Doug. He's retired so he's probably close to driving his by now...What else does he have to do with all of his free time???

Doug seems to be busy picking mushrooms these days! There must be a few "special" shrooms in the harvest that he's relaxing with instead of finishing the burb! Ha!
