Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
Here's how it sits today. It still needs the roof done, third door finished, rear floor covered, complete all body welding (its all just tacked right now), and all that fun bodywork... But I've driven it

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
I'll say it again, just incredible!!!!! Do you plan on leaving the trim on? I hope so, I think that will help maintain the "factory" look. Keep them pictures coming!!!

I do plan to keep all the trim and the roof rack. The roof rack will be shortened just like the photochop. The upper trim will be easy, but the lower will get tricky. Should be able to use lower rear pieces off a SWB truck, but the strips in front of the rear tires will have to be custom or modify mine. Last edited by Frizzle Fry; 05-07-2007 at 05:28 PM. |

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
very cool, I agree that the real thing looks even better than the Photochop.... How long did that take?

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
absolutly bad ass. I can't belive how fast you ripped through that burb. The look is right on the money. Stock trim should complete the phantom vibe well. You got more done in a couple of days than most can accomplish is a couple of years. What's the secret? do you have a starbucks iv line or a never ending supply of red bull? All I know is to duplicate that type of quick progress all that caffeine would have my cut lines as squiggly as a river drawn on a map.
Keep it up!

Wife to Mike: Honey that looks so sweet. Now that you have wasted all morning on it, you need to mow the lawn, take out the trash, trim the bushes clean the gutters. etc.

Dude! I live in Oregon! Awesome...
So... Are you like a super body man for a living? Or you just do your own stuff?

![]() Also what are you using to make you sheetmetal cuts??? - they look very clean and straight - do you use a fence like a block of wood clamped to the long sections of metal like the roof and wheel well cut-outs? Looks Awesome - not sure I would have the guts to do it to a Burb that clean though.
