1969 SuperBurb build-up (Bagged and Blown!)

[Advanced Design]

The Burb is looking very good. The bathroom in the shop is a great idea too. Nice floor going in there.

Nice touch with that cargo lamp. It'd be cool to install a back up camera hidden at the bottom of it. That would give a nice view compared to one at the license plate height. That is a nice bathroom floor!

Thanks AD. I probably won't ever build another shop, so I wanted to do it right, .

Hadn't thought about a backup camera....any suggestions on one to install?

My plumber installed the sink, toilet, sink and show yesterday, so the bathroom is officially done! So other than installing an 80 gallon air compressor and rearranging some stuff, operation "finish shop" is done, .

I am really interested in your paint scheme for my 72 4x4. Are you going to use any trim or will you leave it as is?

I have all new custom trim to install.

I went back through you're thread and saw the original build sheet. I'll be calling Mar-K. And thanks for putting those pics up, looks absolutely amazing. Thank you.

Very nice. Looks about there. What else is left?

[nastety92]

Truck looks great. I like the look without the trim as well.

Can you tell us more about what tail light you used and what you did to make them look the way they do?

ALOT!!!!! Waiting on some emblems, finish cleaning up the wiring under the hood, install the hood, grille, bumper, install the glass and mechanisms in all the doors, speakers, carpet, door panels, headliner, install the seats, install all of the outside trim....

They are factory truck tail lights. Basically, I cut the bed ends off a pickup truck and molded them into the back of the suburban.

Just picked up some Cheyenne door panels and inserts from a boardmember. I will need to paint them matte black. Not sure if I will redo the wood grain on the aluminum inserts or leave as is. I think they are pretty rare and not sure I have seen any like them before. Now all I need to find is the aluminum piece that goes on the glovebox door...

Cheyenne Super man used to sell the aluminum panels for the glovebox doors.

Thanks Keith!

Nice pieces! As a min, I would clearcoat them, to protect from scratches

Thanks Keith! I finished connecting all of my AC vent hoses and then installed the Vintage air glovebox liner (PITA). I also put on the glovebox door just to see how everything looks. I'm debating on whether or not I want to do the wood grain on it and the gauge bezel. I kinda like the way everything looks as is.... I still have some time to figure that out.

[knomadd]

I'd say leave it as is (it looks really good now), but you've got wood grain door panels, so it might be really cool to have the glove box and gauge panel match. You'll know what to do after you look at it with the door panels installed.

I think I will for right now. Easy enough to change later. I did order my carpet. Currently waiting on some parts and then I will be able to install the fenders for the last time and hopefully get the hood and grill installed....

Thanks! We finally had a nice day last Saturday so while I was out doing some data logging for the motor tune I stopped and took some pictures.

[nastety92]

Looks great man. You must be itching to get that thing buttoned up at this point. Throw that front end together and hood on. At least you don't have to wait for the "good" weather to drive that truck.

I'm still waiting for a few parts before I can put it all back together for good. It suxs that 2 small pieces are causing the delay, but I'm just trying to be patient. I've almost finished installing about 300 square feet of Fatmat on the interior and I just got my carpet in. So I have some things to work on. It's taken 12 years to get this point, what's a few more months....
