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

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.

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

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
dude, stick with your initial thought. The green/grey with white top would be so slick and unique.

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
Looks like the same burb w/a different set of graphics. Frizzles is dead-on w/the proportions vs. that one.

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
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
![]() Thanks Scotti I think someone else on the board might be brewing one up with slightly different proportions... Last edited by Frizzle Fry; 03-27-2008 at 09:01 PM. |

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