Congrats on the new shop and the move. The shop looks cool :D When are the updates coming? :D |
Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
No plans to sell ...but those words have been known to hold little water...
I'm hoping to get the trucks moved into the shop by the end of May. |
Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
Well I am late as usual, but the new "Man House" looks really good. Can' t wait to see your mods on it and get the boys into their new home.

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
...so I had a couple things in mind :lol:
First the 68 clip: OG clip http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1211649863 http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1211649863 http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1211649863 and here's a good display of the extra space with the mod'ed fenders: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1211649863 http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1211649863 The front end came down a little more with the old inners out: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1211649863 http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1211649863 This is how much room I have aired-out, 1.5" cups, 2.5" spindles and ~28" tires With the new inners installed I figure I'll have about an inch to play with: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1211650078 I'm going to buy an extra set of inners to extend them. Mine have some lower rust anyway. And with all this extra space I may have no choice but to chop the crossmember :lol: |

Progress!! |
Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
The next thing itchin to go on was the headers. They went on with no frame clearancing required.
First, here's why long tubes and bagged trucks don't mix... http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1211650462 http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1211650462 Man that's ugly, but this is better :) Driver's side went on without even pulling the plugs. Passenger side was a little tighter but still had enough room not to grind IMO: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1211650462 http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1211650462 http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1211650462 http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1211650462 http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1211650462 Passenger side: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1211650462 http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1211650462 |

http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1211650462 This is pretty close here at the tranny and collector, but it's not touching. I may grind a tad there: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1211650462 |

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
So with the exhaust progress in mind I've been wanting to put cut-outs in my TA xmember. I've also been wanting to remove the man-hole-cover-hook that is the center of that thing. So I figured I would start with that:
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1211651127 http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1211651127 http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1211651127 http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1211651127 http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1211651127 http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1211651127 http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1211651127 http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1211651127 http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1211651127 http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1211651127 |

I suppose you could use the air bags to bounce the right side up in the air.

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
Nope guys, that's a walking path. I have to get out and carry it from the end of the driveway ;)
