Went out and did the bedding process for the brakes this afternoon.

Happy to say I almost got sick. Had the same brakes on the blue Colorado and it would stop hard. My expectations were much lower on the tahoe due to the size and weight.

Needless to say, these have surpassed any of my performance assumptions.

Great looking Hoe .Wheels look great on it .

Thank you. And the final photo for this week add it was a silly goal but a big one for me none the less.

I can park it in the garage. Only taken me the months to get the garage set up.

I actually painted this engine cover thing, along with the intake box cover... mainly because I had this stuff around and I had a few minutes of artsy "who cares" going through my head.

Saving these for later... I have some ideas and glad that I finally stumbled across these.

I kind of like what they did with the grill.

I kind of like what they did with the grill.

That was the vision I had in my head but with a different style grille. And if I don't like it when I build it, I have an idea as to how I can alter it to give it a different look that will still go along with the style I envision in my brain.

Now I just need to find a photo of the Duraflex ZL1 hood installed... I'm thinking it would look good, but I cannot find a damned photo of one installed and painted. I have found several built by streetconcept1 that would certainly fit the bill, but their location and the culminating price tag due to the location would be a little high for what I want to spend.

Did I miss something? What's up with the towing mirrors?

Not my Tahoe... Saving the photos for some grille ideas I have in my head @a4edwin

What paint did you use for the engine pieces ? high temp ?
Also maybe paint the fuse box cover to even it out.
and I'm diggin the green and gold theme , hopefully more gold in the future
