I have a 67/68 that's been sitting in various places of storage (garage, shop, storage building) for 20+ years now. Other than being dirty, it's fine & will be ready to continue its build when I'm ready.

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
Tubby is headed to a new home. Thanks to Frizzle for the opportunity to bring his dream to a reality. Tubby was loaded up tonight and headed to Houston to get finished up and is lined up for a SEMA booth. Will keep the original scope as much as possible and add our personal touches. Will post build pics. Excited to move forward with it!

Sad you didn't get to 'finish' it but glad to see it's getting a fresh start.

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
It is going to Alamo Customs @alamocustoms to continue the bodywork and finishes. My good friend Chris Pate @mobiletoysinc will be coordinating the build and doing the interior and other parts. He is one of the top system installers in the US.
This is his C10 Lucy he currently has finished and his square body Stella they are starting. Last edited by MHLY01; 12-04-2019 at 01:30 PM. |

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
It'll be pretty close to me. Perhaps I can take a look

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
Had some renderings done for the build. Tried to stay true to the build with some personal touches. I am sure there will be some changes as the build goes.

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
No love for the 69/70 front clip? 😢 Renders look good! Looking forward to seeing how you progress! 👍🏾

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
Thanks. It is the same front clip that was swapped on it. I don’t have the original 69/70 clip from him.

The 67 front clip is superior anyway.

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
The Mafia Truck disagrees. I think they pretty much got it right on all the 67-72's though...I like em all for different reasons
MHLY01, how are you feeling about the renderings? See any details you're thinking about changing now or do you think this is pretty close to what it's gonna be?

I like all the front ends. Each unique. I have a ‘71 as well which I will do a billet grill in and clean up.
I think the renderings are good. I sent pics or ideas of what I wanted done and we went through a few Iterations. Things such as shave drip rails, one piece windows, smooth and tucked painted bumpers I added. Rendered Rides was great to work with and super reasonable. I am sure a few things will change as we go such as wheels, maybe trim, door handles, etc. Happens with all builds. I am open to suggestions always. I went back and forth in colors and really liked the color he chose. I should have some renderings of the interior later on. It will be a full custom interior with Relicate Leather by Mobile Toys Inc. Dash, doors, etc. will all be one off. Nothing wild as I prefer clean and classy to match the exterior build. |

One suggestion I was thinking when looking at the rendering was going one-piece windows on the rear doors. Probably wouldn't be able to roll them down all the way because of all the hardware in the door with the hinges, but could be cool 🤷🏾*♂️ It's good to see the Burbs getting some full builds! This one is gonna be 🔥
