Re: The Easter Egg...1995 Tahoe (bagged, bodied)

well, got new bags SS-8s for the rear and SS-7 for the front (slam specialties SS series). I'm still rebuilding the rest of the air system, but I got all the fittings and started putting it all together. i hope to leak test by the week, but we'll see.

here's a shot of the accuair system with my senors and mufflers attached...

my new shifter knob...(it's an airbag)


paint colors from a bike at wal-mart. satin white, blue and black. not sure how i would lay it out on the hoe, but they looked good to me..

Re: The Easter Egg...1995 Tahoe (bagged, bodied)

well, guys i made some head way on the hoe and have it back on the road. i took my maiden voyage since pulling it apart on wednesday without issue. unfortunately, my dad's battle with cancer took a turn for the worse on thursday. he passed away early friday.

given the situation i think this is best. he died quickly and peacefully, so i'm not upset. sure i had things to say him and things i wanted to do yet, but i didn't have to watch him suffer. as i work to complete the truck i'm really going to work doing ALL things my dad and i talked about. after this truck is more complete my family and dad's car club are planning to build his '48 suburban to his specs. he's had the truck for 20yr and has 98% of the pieces, so we're going to get it together for my mom....

thanks for reading and i promise some more pics on the hoe soon.

Re: The Easter Egg...1995 Tahoe (bagged, bodied)

thanks guys, we sent dad off in proper fashion. his viewing had 25-30 cars lined up on both sides of the street and his closest friends lead the processional for the funeral in their hot rods/muscle cars....being the starter of our local car club and their bi-annual car show/cruise-ins the comment was, 'even when he's gone, he can still throw a hell of a car show'...

Re: The Easter Egg...1995 Tahoe (bagged, bodied)

not much to update...i did take the hoe to a show/benefit about 70 miles away. i made it there and back (barely). the truck still have a stalling issue and it seemed to get worse on the way home. i haven't looked into it, but since i'm planning to replace the motor it might as well wait...

I didn't get any shots on my truck, but these are the bikes i rode down with.

Re: The Easter Egg...1995 Tahoe (bagged, bodied)

No, we've been working in my dad's shop and getting his '48 suburban on the road for mom. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=563150

also, my wife and i just bought a second house built in 1883. we're planning a full renovation. this means selling our current house, moving to mom's for a lil bit, spending most my free time and all our money elsewhere...

Hopefully, my brother's and i will soon be doing a tune up on the hoe and getting an engine mount hooked up, so the truck so more drive-able. the bigger projects will be delayed, though.

Re: The Easter Egg...1995 Tahoe (bagged, bodied)

hey, just putting the thread on the radar again. been busting butt at the house, but still made time to get the hoe out and ready for the local cruise-in. replaced some driving lights and we're discussing a tune-up and engine mount fab...we'll see.

Keep on keeping on folks!

Re: The Easter Egg...1995 Tahoe (bagged, bodied)

gearing up for camp n drag this weekend.

I finally did a tune up and found the map sensor vacuum was unplugged which explained my random stalling at idol and ****ty performance. truck runs like a champ now. recently had it to a local cruise-in and an event for kids (6-12) who have lost a loved one... we get to take the kids on rides in our cars. it's awesome.

I also put some new street scene mirrors on the truck and I'm working getting some new speakers and radio in since it's a 3hr drive. it's all small stuff, but progress none the less. I'll get some pics soon.

Re: The Easter Egg...1995 Tahoe (bagged, bodied)

a couple shots from Camp n Drag in Waveland, In. For me, it was 400 miles (round trip), almost 100 beers, a couple fuses and one hell of a time...

Sadly, since we're trying to sell our current house I put the easter egg in storage at my brother's. it's not far away and hopefully only for until late in the winter, but still...

Re: The Easter Egg...1995 Tahoe (bagged, bodied)

Alright guys, I sold the easter egg a couple of weeks ago. The sale went pretty smooth and I think both sides are happy. The buyer was fellow board member and gauging from some of his trucks and photos of the vehicles he's helped with, it's in good hands. If he puts a build thread together, i'll post.

I did some sole searching before selling, but after losing my dad this truck didn't really mean the same to me anymore. It was a cool truck, I just didn't have any feelings for it, I guess. Plus, dad left me a different project that I would rather invest in...I won't start the new build until our new/old house is done, but thanks for following along and sorry to have not finished another project.

At least this one made it to a few shows
