Thanks. Now I have room for a blasting cabnet and powdercoating oven The previous owner had the WHOLE shop full of junk! What a waste. I can't let this extra storage change my definition of what "I might use one day" That's a slippery slope... |

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
I've thought the exact same thing many a times, but there's no way I could afford it, even in it's present state
Congrats on the new shop and the move. The shop looks cool When are the updates coming?

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
No plans to sell ...but those words have been known to hold little water...
I'm hoping to get the trucks moved into the shop by the end of May. |

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
...so I had a couple things in mind
First the 68 clip: OG clip and here's a good display of the extra space with the mod'ed fenders: The front end came down a little more with the old inners out: This is how much room I have aired-out, 1.5" cups, 2.5" spindles and ~28" tires With the new inners installed I figure I'll have about an inch to play with: I'm going to buy an extra set of inners to extend them. Mine have some lower rust anyway. And with all this extra space I may have no choice but to chop the crossmember Last edited by Frizzle Fry; 05-25-2008 at 09:01 PM. |

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
The next thing itchin to go on was the headers. They went on with no frame clearancing required.
First, here's why long tubes and bagged trucks don't mix... Man that's ugly, but this is better Driver's side went on without even pulling the plugs. Passenger side was a little tighter but still had enough room not to grind IMO: Passenger side: |

This is pretty close here at the tranny and collector, but it's not touching. I may grind a tad there: |

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*
So with the exhaust progress in mind I've been wanting to put cut-outs in my TA xmember. I've also been wanting to remove the man-hole-cover-hook that is the center of that thing. So I figured I would start with that:

Yes! feels good to give them some love again.
Thanks! Quote:
Yes, you are correct sir! Quote:
Thanks Man! Finally... Thanks! They seem to like it there Quote:
Those headers look like they're gonna work out really well. I'm waiting on my 3" dia. extensions to start on the rest of the system. The headers came with 3"-2.5" reducers. |

I suppose you could use the air bags to bounce the right side up in the air.
