Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
Hey guys! The Sunbeam is still in the body shop and I am in Israel (again)! Hopefully they make some decent progress on it while I'm gone... Hoping to wrap it up this summer and get back on the 'Hoe!

Sweet Build, that SunBeam is awesome as well. What did you use to cut the body panels?

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
Anything new or are we going to have to wait till you retire to get back to it. Just joking. But it truly is a great project. Hopefully you will get back at it.

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
Hey FF, I've been checking out this thread and Rokcrln's as well and can't seem to get the idea out of my head now. That being said I have a question for you.
I'm in the process of building my 69 SWB and it is getting a custom frame. The factory SWB trailing arm frame will need a new home once I'm done and I understand that it is right around the same length as where you ended up on this project. Do you think I could reuse the SWB frame for this purpose? What would the challenges be?

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
Hate to say it, but I might have to let someone else take it to the next level. Not sure.. Really don’t want to let it go, but I need to consolidate. Hard to believe that the Sunbeam has taken me this far from finishing this beautiful beast. Damn Brits
