Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!

I would say use the arms, and get round mirror heads for them.

I dig the build. Keep up the good work.

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!

lol...

i think it looks kinda cool on there. just like peeps hanging from the door edge, just with a little flavor! all i would need to do is drill a small 3/8" hole and thread it from the backside. i wish i could get it stay on so i can stand back and take a pic..

I think they would work above your vent window better, but it's not my truck

No offense, I just think they'd look better on a bike. Otherwise, I really enjoy reading your thread and the work you've done is great!...Keep it up!

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!

^^^ thanks for checking out the build.

i posted up a poll just to see what everyone thinks. im kinda on the fence here, but if i would use them i would spray them gloss black and probably hang them on the door frame edge just in front of the vent window.

Kev, according to the rest of your build I think whatever you decide to do will be in the right direction.

lol, appreciate it!

after looking over them, and my poll...i dont think im gonna use them. i know everyone says its your truck, do what you want. but, in the end, its the positive comments that usually make or break an idea. plus, i was on the fence with them to begin with!


look what happened today, motor fell out of my truck!

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!

first time pulling a motor and it really wasnt that hard! i was surprised that the transmission just hit the floor..? i thought it was supposed to just stay where it should be..i got it held by a wire now to keep it off the floor..

now im going to get to work on sanding down the firewall, primer, and MAYBE paint it.

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!

mine was never on a jack lol

it stayed put, but once i started rolling it back in the garage, i heard it land on the floor i guess. the only thing i can tell its that the bracket linkage that goes to the steering column came off, but i dont think it broke.

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!

good idea on the welding, maybe i could cut it, set it up and tack it and find someone to weld it back up.

i have a few weeks to figure it out i guess, my time frames are always off so it might be longer lol

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!

I would shave the wiring harness hole, wiper, and oil pressure line. It would be real easy to modify them and run them through the tunnel out of sight!

Re: Project 67 DRGNWGN - 67 Burban!!

ditto, i think the wiper hole and oil line hole are gone by tomorrow night!

i was trying to take off the fuse block to try to figure something out, but i couldnt even get it off! i think i may leave it though, because the wiring hole next to it has all my air lines and switchbox wiring...but i guess i could reroute that too....hmmmmmm
