The exterior is being worked on, but you know how those painters are,

.

Answer to the second question, I brought one to many projects home,

.

Actually, it was a scheduled surgery to repair my bite. It's something that needed to be done for a long time, but I just never got around to doing it. However, my bite was getting worse, so I decided now was the time. The surgery itself was not so bad, I've been in very little pain. I did have some swelling but, the worse part ended up being a virus I caught after I got home.

WOW, getting sick when your jaw is wired shut would be the worst. I hope it wasn't a stomach virus.

It was more of an upper respitory virus (lots of coughing and sinus problems). Luckily the didn't wire my jaws (they put in 3 screws on each side), but the coughing was pretty painful. Take care.

that supercharger looks nearly perfect... only way it could be better is if it was under the hood of my 05 Tahoe!.... mind if I ask what the going rate for a setup like that is?

, thanks Mike. New ones retail for $5,500. You can usually picke up a good used one for around $3K-3.5K. I got mine from a board member, BigTex, for pretty fair deal. Take care,

**Hart_Rod** · 06-03-2008, 09:55 PM

Got some body work done this last week. The entire body is in hi-build and ready for block sanding. First pictures are in epoxy. With any luck, maybe it will be painted by the next time I go home,

.

19723DR · 06-03-2008, 11:23 PM

I am so glad to see progress on the burb. Take your time to get the body straight. I can't wait to see some color on this thing! When you get done, this build will be the one to set the bar for other to follow. Keep up the good work.

Thanks man, I can't wait to get it done and drive it again. The supercharger should make for an entertaining ride,

. As far as the body work, it's already been blocked a couple of times and we have about 4 more times to go. We're trying to get it painted so I can haul it to NM next month when I move the family out. Here's some more pics in hi-build.....

Thats what I'm talking about!

If you're ever in Salt Lake, feel free to stop by.

gringoloco · 06-04-2008, 11:05 AM

It's gonna be awesome!

Did you shave the heater controls?

Frizzle Fry · 06-04-2008, 11:32 AM

Lookin good Rob. You spraying that right there in the shop?

Rokcrln · 06-04-2008, 01:17 PM

Damb that 4th door sure is going to screw things up

Looks good on the spit. I am glad you changed out the tail lights, it looks so much better, too bad you could not widen the gate and hatch to match

Yes, I'm going to install a VintageAir Gen IV unit. I'll put the controls where the old controls were.

We sprayed a little epoxy in the shop, but the high build was shot in our 27' paint booth.

I think I'll just stay with the "rare" 3 door instead of "ultra rare" 4 door,

. Installing a truck tailgate would have probably been easier,

. I don't know if the top is wide enough to strectch it the width of the tailgate. I'm sure you're working on something pretty cool on the back of yours,

.

Thanks Jason. It doesn't seem like much progress, but it took about 60 man hours to get it to this point.

No I think I will just finish the 4th door and sell it as is. I have just way too many irons in the fire and my wife really really wants me to get things in the direction of me going full time with this so that means getting a few high end projects done for show pieces as well as a couple of street rod type builds for more advertising. So the burb will go and maybe even the crew cab that right now is just a good standard cab with suicide doors on it. I have a few small things to finish up on LowBuck, get our son's 51 F1 on the road with a full built chassis but a old barn find look to the body. Then their is her 63 GMC SWB (drop member, 20/22's, 5.3L/AOD bagged and a killer paint job on an arrow striate body) to get started on as well as my 2WD Blazer build.
Then throw on a hand full of customer builds that are currently on the books and I think I have a rather full plate. Sorry to rant on but I am board and wired from all the med's
