1948 Burb

ok gang thanks for your assistance and ideas...
I have been watching, reading, stalking, whatever.

I bought this last winter, I have been doing a few changes one week at a time.

dropped 3-4 inches, new wheels
new tires, condenser
spark plugs, rebuilt generator
battery, 3 new windows
water pump, belts
hoses, many fuses ( I am a rookie )
brakes, one a month another brake line. (darn rust)
shocks, many less leaf springs (probably too many less : ) )
bulbs, head lights H4, master brake cylinder,
bumpers are off being power coated, new dash part
my son Ryan bought me NEW RUNNING BOARDS (sweet)

THIS IS A MARATHON NOT A SPRINT. OK?

Hope ya like it !

joev

Joev-

Sweet ride. Where are you located in MI? I'm near Kalamazoo.
I have a finished 48 truck and I just purchased a 53 suburban.

Thanks
Marc

Re: 1948 Burb

Charlevoix... Michigan

Burb is at the Auto Glass Shop, it needed a new passenger window.
The inside is still rough. It is a real estate sign hauler. I thought of keeping it the way it is my work truck.

Thanks guys... I got to tell ya, when I do not feel "the need for speed".
the burb is the way to ride.

thanks again:

joev
