Here's what's on the way now:

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
Mike, your new shop looks FANTASTIC. I'd love to come out and see it in person, I'll bring the brews too!

Lookin' good. When are we going to see paint? :D |
Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
When you are done fabbing are you gonna break down the whole truck and paint and detail everything? You may have answered this before, but scanning back through 32 pages will make my eyes pop out =)

Before (excuse my anti-rust coating...:hm:): http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1212475215 Z-Bend on 4" flat stock for reference: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1212475215 And after: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1212475215 I was able to adjust it so the indicator is dead on in all gears. Plus as an added bonus, there's a whole lot less play now. Gotta rebuild the column to get it perfect... |
Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*

That's a nice clean install too. I think I'm going to have to get one of those.
It looks like it also works for all GM transmissions, and automatic columns. Sweet!! |
Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
Did you have to make the bend to clear something? I thought it would go in as it was out of the package.

I got some good shop time today. I knew the bent header extensions I picked up would only be a starting point. Here's how they looked on first install: http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...1002Medium.jpg That was no good so I did some pie-cuts and shortening: almost there... http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...0022Medium.jpg Another pie cut and we're money: http://s6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...0217Medium.jpg Here's the routing so far: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1212732307 http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1212732307 http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1212732307 http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1212732307 http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1212732307 |
Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
Still need to weld in the rings but I wanted to be sure the hole positions in the TA xmember were right first. This is with the rear bags fully collapsed:
http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1212732307 I'll probably have to clearance that floor brace a bit: http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1212732307 http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1212732307 http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y23...g?t=1212732307 |
Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*

Man, that's clean.
Just proof you can do damn near anything yourself if you have the time, patience, and the will to learn. I know you've heard this alot, but, you're an inspiration to us all man. Thank you. -Sam. |
Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
Thanks mike.
So, you have a cnotch also right? You went OVER the trailing arms.. I thought that when you aired out all the way, the exhaust would hit.. Guess not. Thanks for the pic man... |
