Re: The Burb a long time coming

Most women like the strong, silent type… Fortunately for me, my wife prefers the out-of-shape, mouthy type.

Re: The Burb a long time coming

Is this your dash?? Or a similar one? I noticed your fill piece has a bead rolled edge. This pic doesn't appear the same.



Curious how easy it is to handle the edge where the ash tray used to be. I don't have access to slip rolls

This one is concept ... someone did this layout which made me think of the rolled edge giving it more depth

Still thinking of removing the vent from the stock location and bringing it in lower

Ya I figured I could spend another 10 -15 years doing a weak shade tree restore and never see my vision done

... or work an extra 5-10 years and pay a professional to do it

... and I was already working

besides Blake and his crew went through it and found issues I would have never found , until that part showed it self and needed replacement.

And yes a donor would have been cheaper but it wouldn't have been the same tank that got so many thumbs up and me from A to B so many times when it should have said no more
