The Red is awesome on that truck !!!! I don't care what color you paint it the Tahoe will look amazing in any color you choose . You have great skills and your Tahoe is way cool !! Just wish you were closer to me so I could see it in person . Keep up the good work !! Bob

ChevyDude · 03-16-2008, 08:31 AM

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

jugernot · 03-16-2008, 12:17 PM

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.

Kiamichi Kid · 03-16-2008, 10:34 PM

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

babyblueoval · 03-16-2008, 11:20 PM

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.

ed2552 · 03-21-2008, 06:20 AM

retrokits needs to make a 67-68 kit for the 89-98 trucks and my Tahoe! That would be awesome and so much easier than what you're doing, but your work is incredible!

jlaird · 03-23-2008, 06:20 AM

dude, stick with your initial thought. The green/grey with white top would be so slick and unique.

Getting ready to move. I'm moving on 04/06/08. Then I'll be on business trips for a couple months.

Once I get settled in I'll have a 20x36 two level (upper storage) shop to stretch out in

Found tese while Surfing , Both are supposed to be Shortened but not nearly as Kool as Yours, Have u seen either of them??

Rick

SCOTI · 03-27-2008, 08:14 PM

Looks like the same burb w/a different set of graphics. Frizzles is dead-on w/the proportions vs. that one.

Frizzle Fry · 03-27-2008, 08:59 PM

They just added to the graphics. Ya, I've seen it. It's bobbed but not shortened in wheelbase. Still an improvement IMO (other than the paint

). The one-piece rear windows are unique too.

Thanks Scotti

I think someone else on the board might be brewing one up with slightly different proportions...

toomanytoyz · 03-27-2008, 09:31 PM

I Figured you had Seen it, As you Said it does have a Few Kool Features, But Your Build is Hands Down the Best Out there...........

Rick

71'tahoe · 03-28-2008, 05:19 PM

I havent found a good donor yet.I still want to try again. Maybe over the summer when I get down to tenn. I 'll find me another to start with! Frizzle You are an inspiration to all of us on the board! Keep up the good work and good luck with the move!

Nope. I'm from Sonoma (18 years), but I'm only moving here in town. After the kids are grown I'd consider moving back to nor-cal. ...but my yongest is only 4.

I'd be alright pumping my own gas. You can't imagine what it does to the lines to have to wait for the attendants...
