Mike,
Thanks buddy... I almost choked when I saw this. Absolutely amazing... Do you remember the photochop I did of one a while ago... Yours is pretty darn close! Can't wait to see it done. ![]()

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
More on the wheels: Here's a quick mspaint job stretching the current wheels to 20/22 and a little drop. I think we may have a verdict

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
I have to say I like the daisy wheels, but the coy's should look good too. Here's a crappy MSpaint chop to make a quasi-Nomad from your now shorty burb...

FF, I'm amazed at your creation! I would love to see it in person sometime.
