Looking good...one of my favorite build threads.

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
 

I haven't been able to keep my jaw off the floor since this thread started. Nice work!!!

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
 

been sittin at work in the middle of the night reading all your posts and both builds, and i feel so inept. just the way you think out and solve issues/problems/visions is the work of a true innovator. my friends and family tell me how good i am when they see my work, but i don't think i can hold a candle to you. i have both a 68 swb fleet and a 72 blazer in the works for more than 7 years now, and can't find the time to devote to them, but you are truly the inspiration i need (and a few grand:lol: ) to crank back up. keep it up, we appreciate your work, and watching you do it. maybe i might be able to impress you one day.

i don't want to short change others like Rokclrn, HartRod, and quite a few others as i am equally impressed by every tread they post. they too, are excelllent innovators/thinkers/doers

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
 

There really are some true talents on this board. It's a huge compliment to be considered among them. I doubt I would have done half the stuff I've done if it weren't for this board :metal: Thanks for the comments. I'll be posting a BIG update soon ;)

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
 

It's 1:30AM west coast and I literally just walked in from finishing up the rear bags and notch... and I'm driving it to work in the morning--no shocks :lol:

Pics tomorrow!

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
 

I couldn't agree more!:metal: It takes alot of b@lls to do some of the things you hard core guys have done to your rides. Truly amazing stuff:c2:

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
 

No shocks? :lol: Mine either, rides a li ruff but the ride is priceless :D

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
 

It was a little bouncy :eek: Shocks are going in today.

I have an issue with the rear floor... It's where the driveshaft wants to be... :(

There are a few pics here. More to come.
