This may be a stretch but....... I think it would look cool if you went this route......

I like her already, :D.

Actually . . .... It was a "stretch" until he started slicing a little out of the middle :lol: .

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

Ohhhh yeah.......:banghead:

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

I think somebody is already doing that scheme ;):ito:

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

How about the metallic blue used on the newer GM trucks? It's a dark blue in shade, a slight green-sh blue in direct light, and has a good amount of metal flake in it too.

Can't find any good pics anymore on Chevy's site though.

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

It's gonna look good whatever color you go with, but in my humble opinion, I say go stick with blue. However, I'd go with medium blue metallic and keep the 69-72 bottom trim only. In my mind's eye the blue like on Sacto's truck, with the woody door panels and Coy's would be beyond beautiful!!

That's a gorgeous blue. It's not going to have the truck upper trim like Rob's. It'll have the lower side trim and the Burban-only trim just below the windows. The trim and paint separation will be just like these:

If I were to do a pure blue (with the white top/bottom) I'd probably go with this one:

I'll check it out. Thanks!

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

...or a darker blue with silver top/bottom:

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

Who's rig is that? I like it.

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

That belongs to 72 sub. Starts at post 365 here.

Here's the color!

Cadillac uses it too on some of their cars:

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

Those two get my vote (as if it counted, :)). Those two colors go well together!!!!:metal:

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

Mike, I like the red & white or Hawaiian blue/white best.
I think Jaguar British Racing Green & white would look good. I have a pint if you'd like to take a look. (was considering it for my truck)
If going all one color, I'd highly recommend the AF blue. :D

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

That link no worky... Is it just me or did you update your avatar? Who does your renderings? Very nice.

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

I think that Hugger Orange with either a white, or egg shell white top and bottom would look cool.

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

Ahhh so many choices... I was leaning toward a subtle, understated look but the red/white or bright blue/white would both just pop. The only reason I'm not jumping all over the dark blue/silver is because the 61 will be be midnight blue.

Here's a red/white (photoshop) with those lines and another sick blue (ultrasonic blue):

Link's workin for me. Yes it's a new pic. I converted a tooned truck I found on the net into a Burbahoe :ito:

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

The Red is awesome on that truck !!!! I don't care what color you paint it the Tahoe will look amazing in any color you choose . You have great skills and your Tahoe is way cool !! Just wish you were closer to me so I could see it in person . Keep up the good work !! Bob

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

Hard choice...Blue and white would be sweeeet...but so would Red and white. It will be awesome no matter what you chose.

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

I think I like your idea for the color, Green/Grey with white. Do you want to trade when your done? I'll bet you $5.00 you will get asked to sell it every place you drive it.

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

I like the red and white. Very classic. It really pops.

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

I'm partial to the blue and white myself. :)
This is sorta kinda the plan for my Blazer.

http://i240.photobucket.com/albums/f...abyBlue_01.jpg

The actual "plan" is '67-68 side trim with white on top and bottom and blue in the middle. One of these days I'll get someone to photoshop it for me.

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

retrokits needs to make a 67-68 kit for the 89-98 trucks and my Tahoe! That would be awesome and so much easier than what you're doing, but your work is incredible!

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

dude, stick with your initial thought. The green/grey with white top would be so slick and unique.

Getting ready to move. I'm moving on 04/06/08. Then I'll be on business trips for a couple months.

Found tese while Surfing , Both are supposed to be Shortened but not nearly as Kool as Yours, Have u seen either of them??

Rick

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

Looks like the same burb w/a different set of graphics. Frizzles is dead-on w/the proportions vs. that one.

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

They just added to the graphics. Ya, I've seen it. It's bobbed but not shortened in wheelbase. Still an improvement IMO (other than the paint :eek: ). The one-piece rear windows are unique too.

Thanks Scotti

I think someone else on the board might be brewing one up with slightly different proportions...

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

I Figured you had Seen it, As you Said it does have a Few Kool Features, But Your Build is Hands Down the Best Out there...........

Rick

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

I havent found a good donor yet.I still want to try again. Maybe over the summer when I get down to tenn. I 'll find me another to start with! Frizzle You are an inspiration to all of us on the board! Keep up the good work and good luck with the move!

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

It looked better before they added the tan to the paint job but yours stil is my current favorite;)
