Fosscore's 2006 Tahoe Build Thread

More than you can afford pal ! Ferrari !!



Well that’s what I would say lol

It’s tough getting through my secretary. He is a real bulldog, but gets rid of the riff raff. Hard worker and strong leader by example. Great with lighting mods as well.

This is an outdated link , but it is a Genssi tip. Similar to a Corsa, but less expensive.

eBay and Amazon had them for a bit and some guys got them in black. Not sure if they are still available as it has been some time.

Sale price is tough to gauge, as my truck, like so many on here do not fit the average Joe mold. They only apply to a designated market who appreciate this NBS body style and the care and attention put into the build.

I would be hopeful, should that day come, that I could find a suitable deal to put it into the hands of someone who will appreciate it and maybe even take it further along.

Just like Pete and Nate. Sweet handover right there and keeping that machine in good hands!!

Price is negotiable and dependent on what the market will bear.

Having said that I am enjoying daily driving this thing right now. Put some detail work in and she is running strong. Love it!!

Pulled the rear bumper pads and gave them a fresh coat of paint. The UV just cooks them.

Cleaned and waxed the rear bumper while I was at it. Actually looks good minus the bumper pads, but all the holes kind of detract from the look. Lol

Vacuumed and wiped down the interior, spot cleaned the seats and a smeared them with a coat of Lexol conditioner, Simple Greened the engine bay and Q tipped the A/C vents with some interior detailer (if you haven’t done this recently, we’ll the Q tips were rather dirty).

Pulled the passenger headlight and got the dead spider out of the inside. It was cooked on there. I was able to use a cable tie snaked in there to free the body and drop it through the high beam hole.

There is always something to do and this was my list after last weekends polish with the Porter Cable DA.

Lol that spider has been bugging me for too long....just finally took him out.

I know the NNBS just happened to be right there in the lift gate.

Last weekend’s DA work just made it pop.

Did you get up at 0300 and wipe that thing down before you left?

Already back home. Left at 1000 and was an easy journey south. Lots of cool stuff. Pics to come.

How did you know?

I did some extra detail work yesterday to cover your trucks as well. Door jambs, wheel wells, engine bay, tires and wheels and reinstalled the rear bumper pads after fresh paint.

I was up early of course!! lol. Too much salt film to see properly in the dark, so I waited until I parked then gave it another wipe down. Was a 45 minute drive this morning.

Set the cruise on 65 and managed to get 15.2MPG on the clock for that round trip, which is almost double what I get around town.

Thanks for that. I did wash the Denali Friday night, and used it as the Homecoming Limo yesterday! Of course it was raining when pickup time came at the end if the night...grrr.

Nice and clean. Perfect!
Did the Denali get lucky? lol

We've had off and on rain and 20-25mph winds off the ocean all week. So much salt spray! But it cleared this morning, with mostly sunny skies and the wind still blowing to help keep the heat a little less oppressive. In early, out early. I probably spent too much time detailing for it to sit amongst the tuners, but it sure looks good to me.

Drove nice on the never-completed, always-under-construction, random strips of road ripped off I-95!

If you ever talk about my daught......I mean, truck like that again...

For real, though, she went in a group of 17 kids (not ALL in my ride, lol). There were 6 couples and 5 singles. She was a single. She rejected a kid, poor guy...... HUGE DAD WIN.

One kid gets in the truck and says, "Mr. Nate, these are some really nicely tinted windows." Ha!

 

[Sam Harris]

Awesome!! Raising her right!! [emoji16][emoji106]

HUGE DAD WIN!! Mine is just turning 11 next month. Boys are not on the radar yet, but my son at 13 is starting to take an interest in girls.
