Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
I was sick for a couple days there. Might have been that Linc/Truck pic...
Anyway, I thought I'd at least post up where I am right now: This shows how much the hinge box had to be cut down in order to get the hinge as close to the door skin as possible. I still need to add a second bolt hole on the upper end of the hinge box: Added more vertical support: POR-15 inside the door while I have access: |

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
Well, I just got back from the gym so I must be "officially better." I'm getting a flu-shot ASAP...
Thanks! I just picked up the Jan 09 issue of Sport Truck magazine and I have to say they did a great job capturing the essence of project. Well done Mike and crew I'm honored and humbled! |

Thanks for all the comments guys.

Here's the latest. The door is hung! The hinge needs more reinforcement from below as planned and the whole thing will need some adjustment, but it's on there and opens/closes. I'll let the pics do the rest: |

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
Two questions:
1) I spied your welder in the back ground. Could you tell me the model, power rating and duty cycle? Is that the welder you used to weld your frame? I am currently, uh "extending" my education and taking some welding classes. 2) Do I see the reason that progress has slowed in the background in the last pic?

Frizzle, that, as everyone has already said, is amazing work. The depth of talent on this board is amazing.
I really shouldn't be sittin' at the desk stareing at your work, gotta go to the shop! Bill.

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
You are an unbelievable artist, if i wore a hat it would be off to you!!! just a question since obviously you are great at coming up with stuff, i want my engine compartment to look original (hence i want to use the original style inner fenders) have you done yours yet ?? i sort of got the idea from your pictures that you might be doing this also, mine sets like yours in the front i think i am running the same size tires and wheels, i had to arch my fenders like yours also.. anyway i wanted to see if you had pictures of yours so us less imaginative people could copy yours....Thanks

Now if you can just get the car balaced and set up to handle as well as an S2000. Those cars handle awesome. Brake upgrades will definitely be needed though.

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
WOW! I have been away for about a year & just finished checking out all the progress on your Tahoe. Awesome work. You really do have the skills to pay the bills. Looks like the rear lift-gate hinge idea turned out well too!
Please keep us posted. Brad
