Re: 1969 Burb build-up (Bags, 5.3/4L60E, repaint, interior....)

Glad everyone is ok. Thank God for modern safety equipment! Guess we need to figure out how to put airbags in these things, huh?

Good news on the Burb schedule! What's your timeline?

Thanks Greg, two at once, I don't envy you. Courtney, my daughter is very level head and very dependable. I'm confident in her (she learned how to drive witha stick shift and drove it for almost a year), it's just all the other drivers out there that really worry me. It just goes to show you, know matter how safe you are, if some one else does something stupid, accidents can still happen. I think she learned a good lesson about paying more attention to other drivers on the road. Thanks for the props on the Burb! It's always cool when your concepts end up coming out as cool as you planned.

Thanks Mike, other than the cars getting crunched, it couldn't have turned out any better. Now the only issue will be the insurance companies, they will probably say the car can be fixed, but I don't want it back. I know there are some good repair companies out there, but the stygma place on a car by carfax nowadays, I probably couldn't give the car away. I guess we'll see.

As for the Burb, if we can have it painted by the end of July, I think I can get it put back together. I only have a few more big parts to buy, a/c, EFI harness, and a bunch of smaller misc stuff.... I'll keep you posted.
