Re: 62 Burb project in the making.
 

Global warming has done a job. now snow and only 3 days of freezing weather in the 20F But lots of rain.

Pulled the heater core as it was leaking. Got another on the way to my sister and send it to the radiator shop along with a new temp.control. Should take care of the leak.

Re: 62 Burb project in the making.

Re: 62 Burb project in the making.

Installed the cheap tach.
Front fenders are patched.
Working on the GPS spedo. got the bracket made.
Bought the lug nuts for the wheels ( still need to get the tires).
Little bit at a time.
Now we just need some nice weather and take it for the first real drive over here.

Re: 62 Burb project in the making.
 

Nice looking project man! I had a set of those wheels on a truck years ago and 2 sets of caps worked out for me, one was just 4 of the stock rear enclosed caps that would have came on those (they bolt straight to wheel) but they are pretty long and stick out and say 4x4 right on them (which I painted over).The second set were a lower profile center cap from a early 90's chevy 2500 2wd 6 lug truck and they were type that the lug nuts had threads on outside and center cap fastened to the lugs themselves not the wheels. I do not have pics unfortunately due to computer crash years ago with most of my old pics.

Re: 62 Burb project in the making.
 

Thanks for the kind words.
I found some repop plastic that are on the way.
Just plain knock off caps.
Slowley coming along.
