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

I am a buddy of Mike's and I have been lurking for a while and finally decided to post...

Just wanted to say that the image above with the Satin Coy's and tint is sweet.

Well, well, well. Look who we have here It's the Porsche autocross guy.

Britian has a jaw dropping project of his own. Hint:Turbo...

You're getting the chevy truck disease and you know it! I know where there's a 71/72 Short/wide big block with buckets just sitting there waiting for you to come take it home... Sure would be nice for all those home improvement projects

While you are there, can you go ahead and lower it a bit in the rear for me.

That photochop on the Pinto proves that all vehicles look better lowered, even early 70s compact Fords!

Thanks for the compliment Britain.

Mike,
I think you should do a write up. With the pictures you have, I bet you would make it in SuperChevy or a similar rag with a full story.

Here's one with a little less tint.


P.S. What kind of welder are you using?

If this isn't a write-up, I don't know what is I could see it being condensed into an article type deal once it's done and they have purdy pics to include with it. I wouldn't complain about that

Now THAT looks perfect. You nailed it. That's basically what I'm working toward, except I have a 68 clip for it

I have a Craftsman (I know, I know. Not known for welders... it was a gift) 110v MIG. And yes it does get the job done. It's supposed to be good for up to 1/4" and I believe our frames are 3/16" Good penetration was evident from the opposite side. With passes on both sides plus the boxing I have no worries. As for bodywork, it's more than sufficient.

Thanks for the PS
