We went and washed the burb in anticipation of hanging out this Sat. with you, but they're calling for rain all day...what are your thoughts??

Well crap... Maybe on the 26th. but that is a OU home game and I may have to work..

piratexpress1369a · 09-29-2013, 12:13 AM

hey i was just watching the discovery channel and this show called street outlaws is filmed in your area lol..and just thinking with you putting in that larger drive shaft makes me think that maybe you were going to race the burb?? now i know that you being a law abiding citizen you would not street race lol

mud.man.rj · 09-29-2013, 12:50 AM

But if you by chance do race, get video to share with us.

Yep, got rained out for the cruise...but it needed a bath anyhow and not a bad way to spend the afternoon.

Not my style

, if I feel the urge to see how fast it'll go, we've got a great local track!

Only if I don't choke and stall it, or blow something up, or otherwise look the fool...chances are high there might not be a video

RockTonka · 10-05-2013, 11:14 PM

Spent the day hanging out at the GoodGuys 21st Lonestar Nationals at the Texas Motor Speedway today...lots of really cool rides, many were trucks, one other burb that I saw...I was seriously out-classed though

, but we turned a couple heads

RockTonka · 10-06-2013, 02:12 PM

Been uploading pics that my son took, we'll post more in a thread started in the 60-66 general forum.
We lined up early to get a good spot...most didn't

, don't know if we'll do that again

...couple predawn shots...

scotts62 · 10-06-2013, 07:49 PM

Very cool! I saw that he posted him getting ready to haul back to town, i bet that it was a cool show

RockTonka · 10-06-2013, 08:18 PM

Yea, really good show...overwhelming amount of cool stuff to look at. We found ourselves walking past stuff we normally would have drooled over...just too much to take in!! Weather was a bit sucky with the front blowing through, 70's to 50's in a half hour! At least the rain held off for the most part until late in the day...wanted to take a couple laps around the track, decided we better load up instead. Definitely want to hit the spring Good Guys show...need to get a caravan going!!

NEWFISHER · 11-19-2013, 01:00 PM

Awesome BURB! love everything you are doing and I am copying your rear sway bar-thanks for the info.

RockTonka · 11-22-2013, 08:45 PM

Thanks!! I can't take credit for the idea...got it here somewhere and just made it fit our set-up. Glad it helps though

MikeS. · 11-22-2013, 09:13 PM

Where is the sway bar post?

RockTonka · 11-22-2013, 11:48 PM

Posts 285-289, page 12 for me (25 posts/page)

RockTonka · 11-23-2013, 11:13 PM

Getting a little colder around here lately and we haven't gotten around to putting a heater in the burb, so not as much cruising as we're used to

My son and I have been spending more time on other projects and working on the shop, but he did tear down the driver door to replace the window mechanism with a spare we had...the original one was flat wore out and would lock up if it wasn't tickled just right.

Nice garage/shop!

Actually have two here...this is the bigger one, at 45x60, and is our main work/play shop. The other is 30x60, isn't insulated, and makes for great storage!
