FrankenBetty- The 95 2 door Tahoe Junkyard build thread- Long and pic heavy

[dkknaebel]

One of my mirrors got installed, it looks awesome. I need to get a new control switch for the driver side, it doesnt go up. But I'm sure I can find one somewhere or go rob 6 more from the junkyard. Oh I just heard the Betty crank up, she's so loud and awesome! I am also a storage yard for my truck, my son's 85 square body and our buddy's 89 Hydrastream. Tim is taking our boat out on Saturday so he's going to use Betty to tow the Hydrastream out of the way. I can't wait to get pics of that.

Back surgery went really well. I'm out of a lot of pain and I can walk again and not limp! Two weeks cannot come soon enough. I'm missing my fav fishing tourney this weekend but I'll be back in business for the MacDill airshow.

Hydrastrem? Is it like an Airstream?

It's a boat that goes 100 mph....80 on a slow day

Lol, can you tell I'm not a boat guy? But.....I know that's a pretty damn fast boat!

That boat is a blast. Our boat goes 40 on a really good but ours is a fishing boat, not a good fast boat. That thing just screams by

The 85 is my son's. He is putting a turbo LS in it and making it a sleeper. It is a long bed, lowered and pretty decent. He also has an 02 Trans Am that he is building as a manual drag car.

Ironically, that is the plan for my square body!

Fender install coming soon. The kid says the OBS grille just looks goofy sitting in front of his square body. I just see that the clear is bubbling and needs to be sanded and re shot LOL

 

[dkknaebel]

Gonna try and stop the passenger side leak but the fenders are off and new ones are going on! I got the almost all clear from the surgeon, formally released 4/23. Gonna be working from home starting on Monday.
