BBC was the original plan, even have a standard 454 block here in the garage, but the more I think about it, I may be doing a SBC.

I got the rest of the front floor finished up and the roof in the front done. I cant do much more with the back floor until I decide how I am going to do a gas tank. I can cut the floor and use a stock style tank or have one made that fits under the floor, but if I do that, im afraid I wont be able to use a reciever hitch.

I was at a shop this past weekend and they had an Old Air add on kit that I think I may end up using for the rear A/C. It would be fairly easy to add to the roof in the rear and I think it may be small enough to incorporate into a console and just have vents for the rear seat.

I started with 100 feet, have some left over with what ive done, but will use more in the back when I get the floor finished.

My rear door panels are in pretty bad shape and I was thinking I could just recover them myself with some vinyl. The first didnt turn out like I wanted at all so I am going to find another pair or have someone cover the ones I have. Anyone know anyone making repros?

Don't know of anyone making repops. I've got a WTB ad for a third door one and not having any luck. Apparently like civil war gold bars.

I havent really done much with Alice latley and decided its time to start working again. I just ordered a new painless wire harness and im trying to decide what brake booster im going to use so i can finish up the brakes.

blfuller123 · 07-19-2013, 04:05 PM

That was fast getting here...looks like its goting to take a little longer to put in.

NewType72 · 07-19-2013, 05:49 PM

I'd say that was fast

now you'll be plenty busy with that

Got the harness installed and I now have lights

I ordered it from Jegs and they were running a special when you ordered a harness you got a wire loom kit with it. The loom kit is back ordered so it still not finished.

blfuller123 · 07-28-2013, 05:27 PM

Finally got a motor, its a 383 that a guy had built for a 67 SWB with porterbuilt suspension that he decided to part out. When I picked it up, it was still sitting in the chassis and the long tube headers fit.

Got the motor in and the headers are going to work.

ksbrktracer · 07-29-2013, 11:51 AM

Really Nice ...... Love everything about it .....!!

lowlife4life · 07-29-2013, 12:53 PM

For a heat shield for your airline up front I used pretty sure it was 5/8 rubber fuel line on the 1/2 airline. It works great for heat and vibration be sure to have a can of lube cause it is a tight fit Burb is absolutely beautiful keep it up

Been busy putting a lot of little things back together. The cool wire loom finally got here and I got all the wiring finished up, got my dash back together, transmission hump back on, the gas pedal put back in and I added in some door pin switches. Next I will probably get a brake booster and finish up the brakes. A couple of pictures from today.
