Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
looks good man! maybe you could cup your lowers...that would help some. but i think a z will be cheapest solution at getting an even drop.

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
Clearance on the cupped lowers is a concern to me Kevin. I've heard some horror stories.

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
Well I have been busy on it but not in picture worthy stuff. Just centering the wheel, making a TON of adjustments and stuff like that. I am going to run a 2 inch spacer under my rear bags. That will be plenty for me. I got my air zenith comp bracket welded up, tank mounting location fabbed up and working on plumbing. Nothing exciting except for each step gets me closer.

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
well here are some pics of the stuff Ive been working on. I have the comp mounted, tank mounted, and the rear brakes installed.I still have to make some hold down brackets for the rear brake lines. I need to figure out the emergency brake cable hold down tabs...
As I look at what the exhaust is going to look like.... its is going to be TIGHT!!! Now if I dump it before the rear tire should be a lot easier. I also have the rear spacers fabbed up for my bags. tinking along... SLOWLY lol

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
Ive also got to figure out my filler neck tube. Looks like the angle wont let me just shorten the factory one down. I was looking into a fule door swap from a newer vehicle so I could also get a fuel door.

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
well Ive got a small couple of things done. I have been swamped at work this week and helping my wife build a new set for the kids at work. She is a kids pastor at our church and is changing all the sets and props for her program. I have built a replica C130 jet after the Blue Angles. Its wing span is 26 feet, 7.5 feet high, and 6 feet wide.... its has been crazy.
I have my bag spacers made and installed. I also made the harness to wire up my Accuair manifold to an AVS 7 switch box. It took some figuring out to find the correct male plug. After some research found out its a Molex brand plug. Create an account, sign up as a distributor and vioala... Molex male plug and supplies in the mail. Here are some pics... I like to keep it simple and clean as possible. Later guys. Juan

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
Ok here we go. It seems like this summer just flew by. Had a million things come up and I got side tracked on the burb. I needed some motivation to get back on it so this is what I did. I contacted Joseph Durant with Eastside Design Lab and started working on a rendering. Joseph is awesome!! His mind seems to run a million miles a minute. He helped me get some stuff figured out with color and body mods. Had a 30 min conversation with him, he checked out my build and got started. This is what we came up with. I was thinking of a diff shade of blue but when I saw this one I was sold.
some of the mods are -front roll pan -one piece windows -shaved EVERYTHING!! lol. -rear roll pan -painted front trim to match silver roof -painted smothies centers to match silver roof I am so stoked to get started on her again. Im going to pulll her out of the garage and clean the whole shop up. Once its all clean and tidy im going to hit her hard!! Enjoy guys and let me know what you think. It was between the blue and the green.

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
Both of them look really good. The green one is a little more custom looking to me for some reason.

I love the green one. I just can't get that shade of blue out of my head from the moment I saw it.
