Your panels look great. Those wood grain overlays can be a real pain to get just right. One more headliner question. I went to the box store and looked at FRP and it comes in two thicknesses. What thickness did you use?

Thanks. I didn't see 2 thicknesses, only a glossy and a satin color style. I purchased mine at Lowes.

I think it's one of these 2:

I have been working on the tune and cleaning up some small things. I redid my air intake tube, just need to powdercoat it black and I'll be done with that. I also got the rear door window regulators installed. Hopefully, I will have all of my door parts in next week so I can finish that part of the build.

Thanks! I'm really happy with them and thing they will compliment the interior,

Did an LED headlight install last night, it's really a night and day difference,

.

Got the idea for the lights from looking at boardmember JWALL's square build:

I need to do these asap on Young Frankie and on the 57 Buick!

You'll love them Drew! They make night driving a lot more fun,

Looks awesome man!!! I'm still on here stalking your build.

kehstr · 05-22-2017, 12:07 AM

is there a reason that you did not build an airbox like you did on your other builds?

I have my ECM mounted on the core support, so no room to do that this time.

**Dieselwrencher** · 05-22-2017, 03:47 PM

It is looking great! Those LED lights make a huge difference and are a lot more reliable than HID's too.

Thanks Diesel. I'm currently working on the tailgate trim install. I think it's really going to set everything off...

**lolife99** · 06-01-2017, 12:24 PM

That's going to look good!!!

ajgriffin · 06-01-2017, 01:28 PM

Looking good Rob! I have a question for you. Did you install any AC for the rear of the Burb? I'm wondering if that's an option and how you did it. I've seen the factory version and it's uhh....interesting

I haven't seen any retro kits for the rear and I only have front air (VA GenIV unit). I insulated the crap out of everything and all of my glass is tinted. Hopefully, that will do the trick...

A picture is worth a thousand words. But I'd call it 1 1/2".

I keep forgetting you spent all that time swapping to "truck" taillights. That's going to look so cool with the trim and I bet *most* people will have no idea that's not how it's supposed to be

**rgreathouse** · 06-09-2017, 08:33 PM

This thing looks great! are you planning on running upper trim? Ive wondered what the upper trim options would be for burbs?

Average Joe · 06-11-2017, 01:06 PM

You're correct, 99.9% won't have a clue, but we will,

Thanks! I will be running the truck trim on min. The Burbs have a factory upper trim, but it is in a different location than the truck trim. It's not reproduced and hard to find.

Nice weather Saturday and someone reminded me about Cars and Coffee (Thanks Buck!) before the show and not after,

. Here's some good pictures I pulled off of the FB site.Saturday to I went to our local Cars and Coffee. I pulled these pictures from Facebook that someone had taken and posted.

ajgriffin · 06-27-2017, 12:22 PM

I love this Burb! Did you decide against using the wood grain in the interior or just haven't gotten around to installing it yet? I'd love to see pics of the interior all buttoned up

**Advanced Design** · 06-29-2017, 08:00 PM

Gotta be the coolest Burb on the planet...

04ls1gto · 06-29-2017, 08:19 PM

Much rather have your burb over the lambo or whatever that is
