Thanks guys. I'm just a guy in a home garage with a little ambition :lol: As far as paint... after I finish all the body mods, which could be a while ;)

Looks great man! I will say that you have some vision!

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
Are you going to paint it red like the photo in the middle of your build thread, or blue like the very first picture in the thread?

Still undecided on the paint. But I'm looking for a nice blue/green/grey for the main body. The top and bottom (below lower/side trim) will be white or light silver. FWIW my GF wants me to do red/white and I'm not beyond convincing... :o
I'd love to hear some suggestions if anyone has any. Just consider the fact that it WILL be two tone with a lighter top/bottom. Here's one of the colors I'm considering for the main body: |

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

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. |

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:

Here's the color! Cadillac uses it too on some of their cars: http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e3...adillac016.jpg |

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 |

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): http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1205529328 http://chrispoblete.com/gallery/albu...6038.sized.jpg |
