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

Just an observation, but I've noticed that this 'tahoe' version, LowRockin's, pics of 2 others on here, plus one I saw for sale online and none of them finished with paint.
Must be some kind of ''OMEN". Or is it the Twilight Zone?

Can't speak for the others but in my case it's simply project ADD out of control.

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

This is one of my favorite build threads on the entire forum. Like a lot of people I assumed that this project had been sold. It is good to see that you still have it. Hopefully we will see some progress on it again in the near future.

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

I have read a ton of builds and this one made me sad when you stopped working on it. I even made my wife check it out. Oh, and the sunbeam s2k is awesome, but I think we all have a special place for the 67-72 body style GMs. Great job man, this thing is exactly what I would want as a daily when my wife has kids.

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

Thanks fellers. The upside of the delay is that my tools, knowledge, and skill arsenals are expanding in the meantime ...no small thanks to the wealth of knowledge shared by the amazing people on this forum. And of course good ol YouTube. For example --> http://www.youtube.com/user/covellron

I've also had time to cook up more non-standard mod plans

DriftBeam is in the final push now. Hang in there

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

No updates, but I can tease a little bit with a list of the parts I've accumulated for it. Some may have been mentioned before, but here they are all in one place (off the top of my head) :

Porterbuilt:
  • Dropmember (Tubular Version)
  • Upper and lower control arms
  • Front sway bar
  • Trailing arms with integrated 3" "lowering block" and 1" lengthened to center wheels (these were a custom request when ordered, but I think he offers these options now)
  • Hood hinges

ECE:
  • Big Brake Kit front and rear
  • Modular drop spindles

Various:
  • Fully built 700r4 (all available options)
  • Buddy buckets (two full rows)
  • Tilt column
  • New windshield
  • New mustang power R&P and all required hydro lines
  • Borgeson stainless steering joints and shaft

So as you can see, Tubby's patience (any everyone elses') will not go unrewarded.
