Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
I love it. I wonder if 1 peice glass could be made to get rid of those small rear widows or would it not work in the door.

Awesome Work! You definetely follow the rule of the 5 P's: Proper Planning Prevents Poor Performance. You planned for a year, and your performance definetly shows. By your step by step procedure, I could see alot of people following suit and building their own Tahoe. Thanks and congrats!

No the small door section is their so the large section can go up and down with out hitting the structure. So do you thing the welding up will take longer then the total chop job? I love doing this stuff but hate the slow weldind process. And what the heck do you mean about the 4th door and knowing your limits! Although your method is almost what has been done in my head over the last year (minus the 4th door) you pulled it off before me and my hats off to ya! Kevin LFD Inc. |

I have no doubts I could pull off the 4th door. Just not in the timeline I had available to get this thing back on the road. Maybe a future upgrade |

Here's one like that, but it has a stock wheelbase and a chopped @$$-end.

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
Thanks for the link FizzleFry, now I can see why everyone was oh ing and ah ing, very nice. I had thoughts of doing this (No time and my skills are not up to you ability) so I have placed it into the when I retire file. I'll retire in about 18 years at 52yo so I'll hopefully have the gumption to tackle this type of chop.
