Re: My 70 Panel

One thing I forgot to figure in was the fact that the burbs have about 2" above the drip rail and pick ups dont.You can see how far off the roof lines were in the last picture in the prior post. My simplest solution was to wedge section the roof.Basically the burb roof tapers down,and the pick up roof tapers up.





With the roof panels aligned,it was time to start connecting the sides.I ended up cuttin the burb sides in a kind of a choppy way.I had to do this due to the fact of the bed side contures did not line up exactly. On the p/u.the main curve just below the bed rail tapers downward as it goes toward the taillights,and on the burb,it reamins staight across all the way back.I had to make sure there was enough of the burb 1/4 to line the contours up with the pick up.





On the in side,the inner and outer panels of the burb sat right down over the bed rails.





To finish out the rear,I reinstalled the lower sections of the pu bed.I also added the marker lights,and a late model fuel door.
