Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
I agree blue is the "safer" choice...but do you want safe or something no one else has?

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
I know. I really like the green but going with my gut. I'm wearing a green shirt today.... Lol. My wife said your shirt would look good with your green burb, your wife's green eyes and your shirt. Lol. She's a trip.

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
The blue looks kick @ss. And green is my favorite color! So to say that another color beats it out it has to be impressive... And that blue IS

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
I like them both, those rederings are awesome, and your ride is gonna be sick!!
I'm partial to green...... My last major project was a '66 VW Bus, and I went with green, against everybody's advise.... Land Rover Kent Green Metallic. I think it worked-out okay ![]() Color changed with every light condition ![]() ![]() Magazine Shoot... ![]() Sorry for the hi-jack, and self promotion....... Back to our regularly scheduled Chevy program

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
Nice!! I've always wanted to do a bus or a notch back. I've done a 66 vw but that was it.

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
Thanks guys. Loved that bus, but long gone now. Did a 64 notch as well. I think I'm gonna hit Joseph up too. Need some renderings to keep me focussed. My ideas change as quick as my wife's mood

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
Got a call from my CPA and looks like I'm $2800 short on the years payout. This after a year of paying in what I thought was WAY too much to begin with. There go my next batch of parts..... Lol
I guess I'll have to clean the garage instead. Haha. I mean who really needs all those parts anyways.............. Posted via Mobile Device

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
That sucks brother. But like bruin d says break out that welder! Who knows what you will build! I know that money will do things that nothing else will but don't be discouraged.

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
It's all good. I've got a good size list of stuff to do. I still have to finish my rear floor, plumb up air ride, brakes and a ton of finish work on the susp and brakes. Oh yea... And cleaning the garage. Lol. I've got a sectioned crossmember and some a arms I'll modify to get the front down more. Let that welder start buzzing!!!

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
That sux about the shortfall. Just another kick in the junk for the working man. Keep turning-out the quality work, and all will work-out brother.
We got hit with mandatory furloughs 2 1/2 years ago, and just went I thought I could see the light at the end of the tunnel, they took another 2.5% from our salary. So now I look at it as one extra day a month I get to work in the garage! Posted via Mobile Device

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
well the truth of it is I have most of everything to finish this stage of it. I could have it driving in a week. Ive been saving up to do the front with either a DM or a Scotts front kit. Seems like something always comes up. That is just the way it is lol. No complaints from me though we all have our health and great jobs. My wife was in a bad car wreck 2 weeks ago and that kind of makes you rethink whats really important. Wifes ok and kids are ok..... trailblazer...... not so much.
Ill just use the stuff Ive got and fab up the stuff I need. I think it makes it more fun that way... not easier... just funner like my 4 year old says.

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
well after much thought and research Ive made my decision. Im going with a Scotts Hot Rods Super Slam IFS. Ive been thinking about it for quite some time now. Talked with Justin this last week a couple of times and pulled the trigger and ordered it. I got a call from Justin today with an update on my order, they started making it and it will be done Wednesday!!! So looks like 2 weeks or so to my front door. I cant wait.
Ive gotten the garage cleaned out and going to pull the engine this week if all goes well to clean up the engine bay. Just wondering if Im going to shave it and paint the fire wall while I have the engine and susp parts out of the way. I guess we will see. Later guys... ill post pics of the tear down and clean up of the engine bay. Juan

Re: 68 Burb... here we go!!
well the tear down happend today... just not on the burb.
My Nova got pissed that I was spending all my time on the burb so she threw a fit. I put in new spark plugs last week while doing some other stuff to her. Turns out the plugs I was given were too long... so boom. Piston meet Plug.. plug meet piston... a freaking mess. I had two plugs break off inside the engine. I found one of them today the other is either hidding behind valves or went out the exhaust. Either way they kicked ass and took some names. It will be torn down all the way and new pistons put in, bearings ect. This way I can rest assured shes right and wont have to tear her down again. I had a slight piston slap on cyl 8, Im guessing a loose bore so that will will be corrected. Its bored .30 now Im going .60 and a nice freshen up.... maybe a bigger cam... stall converter.... new heads... what the hell.... lol.
