BigDav,
My 69 is a solid olive green...someone told me it was a one coat paint - poly?? (don't know what they call that).
I also noticed in an earlier picture his dash color looks identical to my interior and exterior olive green. I really like the exterior green on his Sub, but it does look a bit more "green" than my olive green or even his dash green.

Hi WannaBe68, BigDav is right, the exterior has been painted. I am pretty sure the interior paint is original. The truck came with pretty good documentation on the build and I can check the documents for exterior paint code if you need. Be glad to get more pics if you need too.

You have a good description of the exterior color, it looks more green...a bit sharper than the interior.

Well, I went through the information I have on the Burb and there isn't any paint code information that I could find. BigDav is correct, the b pillar is original and the doors are painted same as exterior color.

It was a nice week end to have the Burb out.

Your orange one is awesome, yet this green has really grown on me.

Wow, here it is October already and I think we've had the Burb to one cruise in....

Your Burban is very nice. I just read the thread and forgive me if I missed it but you said it had some issues with the exhaust to fix? Thats one of the big items left on my list and I was wondering what you found wrong, so maybe I can avoid the same pitfall.
Thanks. VC

Re: Finally found a Burb and it followed me home.
 
Thanks VC...the exhaust on this one is "Ok". I don't like the exit location and would rather have the exhaust run out the back.

Check out Bowtieguy79's build thread above as he updated his exhaust and I like how it came out.

Re: Finally found a Burb and it followed me home.
 
Cool thanks for the tip. I will check it out. Although with my deformed lower gate preventing a good seal I'm probably going to end up going out the side.

Yeah I saw the issue with your gate...ugh... not fixable without hurting paint I guess?

We did make one more local cruise in...

Until I get time and funds to redo the interior I will have to live with it. Then its going to be a slide hammer or to cut it open and jack it up repair. Decisions decisions. Between the windows rattling in their frames and the stupid exhaust dumping at the crossmember I never noticed it. There was no point in turning the radio on unless you were at a red light. Maybe I'll just call the dealer and order a new one. :lol::lol::lol: I have been experimenting with alternate weatherstripping to seal it up, maybe I'll get lucky.

HO455...hopefully that will work out for the rear gap on your Burb.

Thanks Kehstr...

Occasionally there is a question about drop and tire size. Since I bought this just as it is I don't know what drop is on it. Here is the tire size....

We are still enjoying this Burb and have been on so many fun trips!

Having fun at C10 Nationals now.

I'm glad to hear it's out being seen, and having fun.

Your oldest grandson must be getting close to driving age, is he asking you about taking it for a spin when he has his license?

He turns 16 this month and he always enjoys driving something around the place when he has a chance.
