I sprayed the under side with Eastwood's rust encapsulater and the top I whipped down with Pix-Lex rust preventer. Just wipe it down with a prep solve and start your finish work!

Thanks Kevin! That's gonna look sweet...........:metal:.

Rob, looking great!

Kevin, how much to get one of those shaved cowls?

Rob, looking great!


Thanks Jamison. How's the CG going? Any progress on the truck(s)? You don't have a good 68 hood do you?

Rob, looking great!

Kevin, how much to get one of those shaved cowls?

Sorry this is one I owed Rob from awhile back and finally got around to complete it. If someone were to pay out right it would be upwards of $600 with a cowl, labor and over sized shipping!

I have been in Spain for the last 2 months learning to fly the new HC-144. I have made little to no progress on the truck. We are trying to sell our house and that took most of my time prior to leaving. I did put on rear disc brakes and a CPP master cylinder. I have 2 67/68 hoods, both are dented in the front. I am pretty sure I am only going to need one of them, get ahold of me when you get back into town.

Kevin, thanx for the reply. I can mess a few of the ones I have up for $600. Did you cut out the vent or just weld the patch over the top of it?

I tacked the filler piece over it then flipped it over and cut out the main vent, did some hammer work, re-installed and finished welding, Hamer and dolly some more and ground it down. Take your time as this mod is one of the hardest to do and the easiest to really screw up. With the cowl being so flat and flimsy it WILL buckle and twist real quick. The trick is knowing how to get it back into to shape after it goes nuts and still fit right.

Finally a cool update, the interior has some paint on it! :D.

ohh yea...progress, gotta love it!

Awesome! What color red are you using? (meaning factory or non factory color;))

ohh yea...progress, gotta love it!

It should be all red by the end of the week, :metal:.

Victory Red. I can get you the paint code if you need it.

Can't wait to see it.

I was just wondering if was a factory color because it looks similiar to the red on my '69. Mine was repainted, and I do not know what exact color it is.

I'm pretty certain it is a factory color. I'm using the same paint scheme and colors that are on the ECE Truck:

Yep. That is RED Rob. ;)

It looks great. Cannot wait to see the outside.

Rob that is looking wicked, can't wait to see the whole thing painted.:metal:

yeah baby!

now its almost all down hill..

Fire Truck !!! :haha:

Look'n good :cool:

Beautiful choice of red!!!! Red is always a beautiful color but when you go with a rich, and deep red it is just pure eye candy!!!

Great job!

Thanks, hopefully outside will be painted by tomorrow........

Finally fixed the ART lower shock mounts (they finally changed the design). What a pain, I had about an hour of cutting and grinding in each one......:( Oh, well they are fixed now and rollin' low shouldn't be a hazzard, :D.

I also got the oil pan figured out too. I tried the F-body pan, but it was about a 1/2" to long back to front. Soooooo, after a little more research, I got the Cadillac CSTv pan. It fits like a it was made to go there. It's 3/4" above the crossmember and I should never have to worry about hanging it on anything, :). Here are a couple of pictures and a link to a discussion on the different pans.

I had the drive shaft shortened and balanced. I'm also working on plumbing the fuel lines. The Supercharger has a single feed, so I'm going to use a Corvette fuel filter/pressure regulator.

Looking great!
Question on the driveshaft. What changes did you make to it to connect to the 4L60E?

nice job!
How much were the air ride upper shock mount relocators?

Looks Awesome!

I had it shortened and the tranny yoke for the 4L60E added. I also had them balance it.

They were free, sorta. I bought the old strong arms that had the shock tab on the bottom. When I called and complained about them hitting, the gave me the kit free. It took about 3 hours to cut the old tabs off and to weld the new ones on, :(.

Looks Awesome!

Thanks!

Finally got the body mounted back on the chassis. Here are some before and after pics for comparison. I like the "slight improvment, :D.

Some more.....

Damn dude, that's is f'n sweet! I hope you're still planning to run the white all the way down to the bottom of the windows like the rendering.

looks nice... you still in FL or or your way back to NM?

We're on our way back to NM. Should be home tonight

:agree:

Thanks, I've always admired yours and probably wouldn't have done a Burb if I hadn't seen it. Soooooo..... I have you to thank or to blame, it just depends on the day, :).

dannnnnngggggg, thats lookin sweet.....you gonna drive that to OK anytime soon?:D

Probably going to pull it there so you can do a TUNE on it for me, :D.

Here's some more chassis pictures and the completed fuel line pictures.....

What are you using to hook up the shift linkage? I assume the factory stuff will not clear those headers. Thanks

I have a LOKAR setup that I'm probably going to use. I also have the factory cable setup from the 4L60E that I could also use.

Hey Rob, I know you said you would be storing Donkey because of your move but what about the burb?

It will be in my buddy's shop while he's finishing the paint. If he gets it done by Christmas I may drag it out here......

Christmas? Is he painting 1sq-in. at a time?

When it's ALMOST free, AKA Buddy deal, it's hard to complain............:uhmk:., :D.

In you missed my first response, WHEN IT'S FREE (AKA Buddy deal) YOU CAN'T COMPLAIN............:uhmk:., :D.

Very true!!

A little more progress. I got the electric gas pedal installed (wish the rest of the project could go this easy!).

Did you weld a plate to the firewall first? I ask because I was trying to figure out how to mount mine. I considered just straightening the 'arm' and mounting it in the stock location, but I think I like your install better.

Thanks!!

I welded a 1/4" plate to the firewall. That allowed me to install it in more of a factory location. Make sure you drill and tap the plate for your mounting bolts prior to welding it in.

I just read thru your build again and it sure has come along way! I forgot all the tail gate and light work you did, well worth it!

Thanks Joe. I've been following your CrewCab thread and it's turning out really nice. Hopefully I'll get to see it in person sometime next year, :).

Thanks Iron, I'm glad you like it. I can't wait to finish it and drive it.....:D.

Looks very nice in red!! Going to be a sweet burb. Didn't know there was a stick on trim kit. Can't wait to see how that turns out. I am sure it will be nice.

Drew

Some more red parts.......

nice! Are you going to two-tone after it's all together?

That's correct. After discussing it with my painter buddy, we decided that would be the easiest way to do it. I'm pretty sure that's how the factory did it also.
