Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
I've thought the exact same thing many a times, but there's no way I could afford it, even in it's present state
Congrats on the new shop and the move. The shop looks cool When are the updates coming?

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

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

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

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
Those two get my vote (as if it counted, ). Those two colors go well together!!!!

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

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

Hard choice...Blue and white would be sweeeet...but so would Red and white. It will be awesome no matter what you chose.

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
I think I like your idea for the color, Green/Grey with white. Do you want to trade when your done? I'll bet you $5.00 you will get asked to sell it every place you drive it.

I like the red and white. Very classic. It really pops.

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
I'm partial to the blue and white myself.
This is sorta kinda the plan for my Blazer. The actual "plan" is '67-68 side trim with white on top and bottom and blue in the middle. One of these days I'll get someone to photoshop it for me.
