Project Patina Burb

Re: Project Patina Burb

I'll also cut out that dash and put the factory one back in there.

Going to part ways with the seats, don't know what they are worth, but it did come with the hold downs.

Re: Project Patina Burb

Look forward to following along Bryan!!!:D

Re: Project Patina Burb

I'm in for the long haul B!

Re: Project Patina Burb

Mike, will those bags work? Nobody has answered me on the suspension section.

Well, here's the deal. I can't find any weight rating for this series of air springs. The 100psi max rating on the bag scares me a little. It has a 9"nominal outside working diameter but that isn't the max diameter. I can't even find anything that says what it's intended use is. If it were mine I'd try it if the diameter isn't too big.

Re: Project Patina Burb

the plate is 6.5 inches

Re: Project Patina Burb

I saw that. I found every spec. for them except for the weight rating, which is what I thought would be the most important one:D

Re: Project Patina Burb

Subscribed, should be an awesome cruiser. I once went to Olive Branch to pick up a truck. Mine didn't come home on a trailer, but it probably should have;)

Re: Project Patina Burb

Got a little done today.

I started on my fauxtina paint job

I also yanked out the automatic steering column with no tilt and unbolted the dash. I guess I'm going to have to take a sawsaw to it and cut it out. It looks like the just covered it with another piece because I can see the old dash behind it.

Re: Project Patina Burb

I have a blue AC dash that is cut out and ready to go for $100 I'm in Clarksville, TN

Re: Project Patina Burb

got anything done on this lately:D

Re: Project Patina Burb

Not much, started the patina paint job, but that's about it. I'm having to find the door handles on the third door and the driver's door. It's made me lose a little interest.

Re: Project Patina Burb

the front is more than 2 inches... it has stepped lower control arms too. You have a 3 or even 4 inch drop up front once the motor goes in.

Re: Project Patina Burb

I'll definitely be getting rid of those lower control arms.

Re: Project Patina Burb

Nah, I've got the angle grinder out and I'm just going to have to find it.

Re: Project Patina Burb

We have a date already scheduled for August 5th to go into the hospital. All I asked was that she wait until after the show on July 16th :)

Re: Project Patina Burb

nice project!

wonder how they shaved up that rear end using the original gate....

Re: Project Patina Burb

A buddy of mine locally here, picked up an old caprice that would lay frame. He was parting it out and I picked up ALOT of the goodies for a STEAL!!!!

Re: Project Patina Burb

Was it that gray one from Craigslist? That thing was a mess, but it laid out hard.

Re: Project Patina Burb

You would be correct, and yes, it was a mess underneath.

Re: Project Patina Burb

Glad to see that stuff put to good use.

Re: Project Patina Burb

Got alot done on the burb today. Installed the bag brackets, cut the cups down to 5/8, installed the bags, and installed the 3 inch drop spindles.

Got done right before it started pouring with some help from my best worker.

Re: Project Patina Burb

Bought a set of 22's with tires off Craigslist today. One of the tires needs replaced and one of them has some curb rash, but they were really cheap.

Re: Project Patina Burb

Awesome! Those look great on there!

Re: Project Patina Burb

nice...are you really gonna keep that paint job?

those 22's look too nice to not get new paint!

Re: Project Patina Burb

No, I'm still working on it.
