Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
The power tour is in the mid west isn't it? Wish they'd do it on the west coast one year.
The hatch latches and locks with the stock tailgate latches. Too simple huh? |

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
OK. I thought that the upper lid closed over the lower gate and only the upper gate locked originally. That's what I get for thinking.

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
if they do west coast, then i'll have to ship one of my vehicles. either the nova or the c10. 2010 will probably start in Tenn and head either for florida or probably texas or something.

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
Not yet. I've been taking pics as usual and looking for a good home for the build. I may start a project journal at hotrodders.com. The project is an odd-ball with no clearly defined home other than being what I would now put in the hot rod category. I'm open to any other suggestions.

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
It took me two days to read to the end of 45 pages (so far). Your imagination and skills are simply outstanding. I will continue to watch your progress until the end of this build (but they never really are finished are they?). I can only hope to have half the energy and inspiration that you do to someday finish my 69/72. Thank you for all of your hard work.

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
Where were they? I looked through the Longhornman's road trip thread and just found pics of the wagon and the nice red swb. It must be a different thread.

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
I am working on a 69 Chevy P/U and was needing to know the length of the driver door on your Suburban. If you can possibly respond with the dimensions i would greatly appreciate it. I called a few places like brothers trucks but they say they do not have that info. Also, I know the frame around the window is different from that of a P/U door. What is the angle between the horizontal line where the glass begins and the vertical line where the frame begins(part of frame that is closest to the b pillar). Thanks in advance!

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
Thanks a lot! You are certainly more help then some of the customer service people at some parts places. Where would you recommend getting some used Burb door frames? Thanks again!

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
The parts board on this forum is a great place to find just about anything chevy truck related. You do have to subscribe to post a WTB but trust me that it's well worth it. Otherwise there's always craigslist, eBay, an the good ol classifieds.

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
I have decided that i am going to make the suburban frame so can get practice out of it as well as save a little bit of money. The only thing that holds me from doing so are a few measurements. Is it possible if I get these measurements from you? I have attached a file hopefully it loads since im new to this site. A= measurement of top of door frame corner to corner. B= measurement inside edge of frame basically inside corner to inside corner. C= measure of the angle between the two parts. If you can reply with this info it would be greatly appreciated. Kinda sucks there are no burbs that i know nearby to get these measurements.

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
your build is OFF THE HOOK!!! I do prototype US NAVAL aircraft modifications for a living, englishwheels and nearly every Fabrication process in the book, to include Kevlar, carbonfiber, fiberglass, foam,wood,ferrous,non-ferrous, precious and non-precious metals, acrylics, plastics etc, ect, your build is the most ambitious, creative, and interesting build i've seen to date on this forum. AWSOME is an understatement!! IMHO V/r Phipp13

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
Awsome build FF!
Just got done reading the last 34 pages...Whewww! (Read the first 12 last night). Never been much of a fan of Subs but Tubby is sweet! And your fab skills are unbelievable! Questions; What size wire ya use in the mig? How long do ya wait from one spot weld to the next? (when you're finish welding the panel)
