I agree on the rust too, but those holes and slots would not be cleaned by the pads. |

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
hey frizzle, I may have missed it, but what kind of hose are you using for those rear bags? Is that rubber hyraulic line?
|
Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
It's the DOT air line (some type of poly I think) with a sheathing over it for extra protection.

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
I made the template for the outer tub wall. Then I realized I didn't have any sheets large enough to do it in one piece. So I'll do those another day
This was just to get the rough radius so I wouldn't have a bunch of folds to deal with inside the tub. The installed tub radius is slightly tighter: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1205031870 http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1205031870 Then I moved to the inner wall since I had the OG sections that could be fit: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1205031870 The blue line is roughly where the tub starts to roll over and the black line is where I cut according to the template. Because of this the edges required a little hammer/dolly work to flatten them: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1205031870 http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1205031870 http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1205031870 I'll add the lower section and outer wall after I pick up some larger sheets. But I'll get the other side this far first. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1205031870 |

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
So how do your outer tubs attach to the body? Any pics, I may need ideas someday;)

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
Very nice project. I have been reading this thread for the last 3 days. I do have to say I had the same idea for the tubs in my 64 burban. Im sure you will make sure the tubs are sealed good to the outside of the body, but I had some tubs installed on my 01 Jimmy and it leaked like hell when it rained because it wasn't sealed properly to the outside wall.

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
They will be walled in. Here's the template for the outers:
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1205031870 When I cut the stock tubs out I left the lower/outer sections in place for something to weld to: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1197087585 I'll also shorten and install the braces from the top of the stockers: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1205031870 I'll post up more pics when I fully stitch them in. |
Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*

Those tubs look great. How long do you think it'll be before paint?
