As tight as that's in there, I think you'll have to pull the body off and disassemble the frame to get the exhaust out of there to paint ...... .

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.

Darn, I have to subscribe to another build.

Awsome work Frizzle, I can't wait to get my new shop this fall/winter so that I can start on ONE of my projects.

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*

Thanks man! It's unreal to get mag coverage on a project that really started as a spur-of-the-moment whim. Josh did a good job of consolidating 30+ pages down into a magazine sized article. In fact, I just noticed that it is now online:
Here's the link to their main page.

And the article.

Re: Joined the Short Wheelbase Club *69 Tahoe Project*

holy cow man. that's really cool. always neat to see someone from the forums make it to a mag, but then to have it be a project build, even better.

with this kind of coverage, I bet you'll get a good number of calls from guys looking for you to "tahoe-itize" their subs.

That exhausts is terrific, man, all I can say is that you pretty much won't be able to fit anything else under there, starting to look pretty tight.
