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. |

Looks good Doug. I still need to get my rear brakes figured out.

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. |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Nice TIG machine, I've got one a few years, very handy!!
You've got some great stopping power, Doug, hope my brakes will perform half as good ![]() Great pic of the Corvette, you're never too old to keep smiling in a Hot Rod ![]()

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Love the welder I have only done TIG on aluminum a time or two and it wasn't pretty, good luck with your efforts!
Funny the first thing I noticed was the moon eyes

Yesterday I spent some time getting the new TIG up and running. Once I figured out the adjustments it was really easy to use. High frequency start was really nice. Stable arc, easy to control and I was fusing metal with no filler rod. Back on the Burb I figured out the 6 inch drop I ordered wasn't going to get me the working angles I needed, so I went back to the 3 inch drop. (And Marc said I don't make mistakes ![]() So, I did what I should have done in the first place was build a mount on the side of the frame rail. It is more solid than sitting on the bottom frame lip. Still need to fill in a few weld areas...MIG was acting up and bird nesting wire, I had a brace that was too short...cut some more and it was still too short...time to call it. Hopefully next week end I can finish up the few details on the mount and begin installing exhaust. |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Funny...we were both working on the same areas of our suburban's this weekend. I too made a mistake that might make you feel better about yours. Go check out my build thread to hear the details....teaser alert...ha ha
Nice work tuning in the welder. Out of curiosity what is the length of your driveshaft? Marc

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
Having high frequency start is the cats a$$. Are you using the foot throttle peddle or a on/ off switch on the torch? I use the on/off I find it's easier to work around the shop. I'm having tig envy.

Thanks Jim. Thought about a nice radiused gusset under the plate and decided to go for strength instead. Lowers, I am using the foot pedal. A control on the torch would be handy for out of position welding. You are right about the high frequency. Hold the tungsten where you want to start, step down on the foot pedal and arc starts. Like pointing a needle and welding. The cable is really light and the torch fits comfortably so it is easy to use. Now I need practice on my technique. I've always had problems with side to side wander and hand speed. |

Re: 48 Burb, bagged, 5.3, 20 year wait
When I read your build and Marc's build I get more and more the feeling of you two should be sharing the same workshop
