The burb had a tail pan that extended out to the bumper,which was mostly rotted away,so I used what I could ouf the sill and made a simple flat tail pan.





I used 18 ga. steel to fill in the window openings.








Now,at this point I was still using it as a driver.It took about 6 months of evenings and weekends to get it from a pick up to a panel truck. This was technically first part of the build.It had a well used 454 in it by this time that shortly gave up on me. Ened up having the motor rebuilt,but punched out to 496 cubic inches.While the motor was out,I ended up getting engaged,and as a joke I said "why dont we use the panel in the wedding" Much to my surprise my fiancee thought it was a terrific idea so begain build number 2.
Thrashing day and night for a few more months,this time in secret,the panel showed up on our wedding day dressed appropriatly.
