Paint Jail? All the work you've done on the Beam and you're not painting it? Either way, whatever gets you baack on the 'Hoe!

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

Started the Hoe the other day. The 476 fired right up! Minx is off to paint within the next week or so...

Not ready to give up on this one yet!

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

And you couldn't even snap a picture of the old girl.....:lol:

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

Not much to look at right now, but I'll see what I can do...

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

I hope you get back on this thing while your other ride is in the paint shop! I hope to build one of these in the future.

Ill trade you my 41 Cadillac for that ol piece of junk because that's what friends are for ;)

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

You've always been there for me man..:lol:

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

Just an observation, but I've noticed that this 'tahoe' version, LowRockin's, pics of 2 others on here, plus one I saw for sale online and none of them finished with paint.
Must be some kind of ''OMEN". Or is it the Twilight Zone? :uhmk:

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

She looks sad... :D

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

Can't speak for the others but in my case it's simply project ADD out of control.

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

This is one of my favorite build threads on the entire forum. Like a lot of people I assumed that this project had been sold. It is good to see that you still have it. Hopefully we will see some progress on it again in the near future.

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

just AWESOME!

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

Id like to see a picture of the burb with the kids that are in the first posts of this thread ... I bet they are just a tad taller lol

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

I have read a ton of builds and this one made me sad when you stopped working on it. I even made my wife check it out. Oh, and the sunbeam s2k is awesome, but I think we all have a special place for the 67-72 body style GMs. Great job man, this thing is exactly what I would want as a daily when my wife has kids.

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

Darn, thought something was happening. Hurry up with the buzz-bomb!

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

cant wait to see you back working on this one !

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

I saw your truck on instagram posted by Brothers Truck. Its been said over and over but I'll say it too, truly amazing work!!

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

Thanks fellers. The upside of the delay is that my tools, knowledge, and skill arsenals are expanding in the meantime ...no small thanks to the wealth of knowledge shared by the amazing people on this forum. And of course good ol YouTube. For example --> http://www.youtube.com/user/covellron

I've also had time to cook up more non-standard mod plans :mm:

DriftBeam is in the final push now. Hang in there :metal:

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

Any updates?I love this thing.

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

No updates, but I can tease a little bit with a list of the parts I've accumulated for it. Some may have been mentioned before, but here they are all in one place (off the top of my head) :

Porterbuilt:

• Dropmember (Tubular Version)
• Upper and lower control arms
• Front sway bar
• Trailing arms with integrated 3" "lowering block" and 1" lengthened to center wheels (these were a custom request when ordered, but I think he offers these options now)
• Hood hinges

ECE:

• Big Brake Kit front and rear
• Modular drop spindles

Various:

• Fully built 700r4 (all available options)
• Buddy buckets (two full rows)
• Tilt column
• New windshield
• New mustang power R&P and all required hydro lines
• Borgeson stainless steering joints and shaft

So as you can see, Tubby's patience (any everyone elses') will not go unrewarded.

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

lol nice!

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

Forgot one: 3:73 posi to go behind that 700r4

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

I'm really looking fwd to this one cranking back up.

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

I can't wait for you to get started back up. There are some amazing builds here but this one is my favorite!

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

Ooooweeeeee, can't wait!

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

Sweet!! That's a great list!!

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

So excited to see updates on this, one of my favorite builds for sure.

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

Still gotta boot the 'Beam out to paint. Might be able to give tubby a little love while the mistress is away :devil:

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

Cool. Can't wait to see more on the Tahoe! Great project!

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

Damn! Two days of reading through (well skimming and looking at pics) and I'm finally caught up. You've done a hell of a lot of fab work, and nice work too. I'm in to see the end result. Hope you can get back to it soon.

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

Thanks knomadd. The Sunbeam is heading to the paint shop today! You heard it here first!!

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

Woo Hooooooo! Light at the end of the tunnel!

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

Looking forward to a real update soon!!

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

Great job. Love this truck

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

I really like the idea of the "Tahoe" build. Do you know of any members that have a completed one or are you one of the first? I would love to see a completed one!

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

Bump

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

Baited breath!!

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

Just read this whole thread... What happens now? are you gonna finish the episode? your followers are contemplating suicide (and not just doors)!!

This is epic good work so far we need an update!

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

I agree. I'm ready to see some more work on this tahoe. You made it look so easy that I now keep an eye on Craigslist for an old Burb.
