Cool! I need to get the kick down working on mine as well.

Over the weekend, I replaced the starter and alternator on my 72. Then my 69, had to replace the battery after it exploded which shorted many things out, I replaced the lead to the alternator from the solenoid behind the battery, replaced the solenoid and several other wires that were burned through.
A very eventful weekend....

TrinitySteve · 07-20-2016, 08:54 PM

Great weekend! I got the new brake system completed and my lady helped me with the ceiling insulation. The brake and fuel plumbing came from Inline Tube and the insulation is from EZ Cool Insulation.

In the 1969 I have, I put in all new weatherstripping around all the doors but the back tailgate.

You have been busy! Between exploding batteries and problems with your 72 you found time to put in new weatherstripping.
Just curious which vendor you chose on the weatherstripping and how the fit was? Thanks in advance. -Brian

missionstreettattoo · 07-25-2016, 05:41 PM

the weatherstripping was in the back of the burn when we brought it, I just now got around to installing it though.

Dburger · 07-28-2016, 03:32 PM

Put the taillights back in my 72 Chevy.

I finished the aluminum radiator/electric fan install!!

**68SWB4x4** · 08-07-2016, 02:23 PM

new front axle, wheels & tires on and moved to the new house

**68SWB4x4** · 08-17-2016, 05:43 PM

Replace the horror that was the mirror arms..

Thanks to Cheyenne ShortStep for the part! Now to find a pass side gold arm...

FarmboyForever · 08-26-2016, 09:47 PM

I pulled the windshield from my 71 burb. It's currently white, but has been repainted. Why is the w/s frame seal area a blue color? No other sign of anything but white...anywhere. Having fun with my resto process!

**BK72BURB_3/4Ton4x4** · 08-31-2016, 03:20 PM

Using the Burb to move firewood over the weekend. Always a good time and the Suburban just takes it in stride.

rocknss · 09-08-2016, 05:59 PM

Installed new fuel line from pump to Carb and went on a short trip to Home Depot.

Dutch Yellow Sub · 09-10-2016, 06:03 PM

I'm trying to fit a hydro-boost form a G20 '90ies in my '72 C10 Suburban....
started out to switch to electrical fan since my fan-clutch gave out completely and nearly had the fan flying off....

And now I have a bit more working space I will put in a different propane setup (I only drive propane, all gasoline stuff is out) a swich from OMLV to Impco 300A

3drburb · 09-10-2016, 10:38 PM

Took it out yesterday to a weekly local car show.

Twisted78SS · 09-12-2016, 11:21 AM

Worked on Goldmember Sat, secured all the wiring and sensor leads back to front for the Accuair, installed the shock re-locators out back, and fixed the radio opening where the original owner had installed a F*rd radio some years ago.. Sanded the dash in prep for a new coat of paint too. Of course I forgot to take pics for most of it.
Just this one;

I'll update the build thread this week. Waiting on a few small parts, so in the meantime I am going to finish getting the engine and trans together.

highwinger · 10-17-2016, 02:46 PM

I got my hidden installed so I could get this motorcycle tow dolly so I could take either to the shop myself. I'd expect to still rent a trailer on longer trips.

Thats a slick idea! I have never seen a contraption like that.

Bigdav160 · 11-10-2016, 03:03 PM

Alignment and tire balance.

highwinger · 11-14-2016, 09:23 AM

I finally got the noise out of the drive train. I was hearing & feeling a tire speed related clunking noise mainly when I back up & turn. Finally replaced the diff oil & additive. She's smooth again. Rear brake job tomorrow. 3rd door rocker being addressed of the thanksgiving week.

**Hart_Rod** · 11-14-2016, 10:43 AM

Got the exhaust installed.

Finally had a few minutes late yesterday to give my Rally's a face lift. From 10-15' they look presentable, but you pull off the beauty ring and cap and they are pretty beaten up. I cleaned them really well - sanded the heck out of them without going too deep. Cleaned them again and used card paper for a "mask" then using Eastwood's "Silver Argent" I gave them 3 coats. Personal opinion here, but they turned out great
