Smith Chassis/Cool Cars Engineering SEMA 2011 Project 2007 Tahoe, Bodydropped on 26's

[SmithChassis/CoolCarsEng]

Hello, my name is Josh Jenkins, and I wanted to share with you all our SEMA 2011 project. It is a 2007 Tahoe, that will be bodydropped on 26" Delta Wheels, custom painted with BASF paint, full air suspension from CCE air systems, and Viair. We will finish it off with a Trex Grille, and a few other goodies.

Here is the rendering and a few pics, you can follow the build at www.facebook.com/smithchassis.

Gonna look real good. I seen this on Cardomain as well.. Looks like it all started because of someone keying the car and it going into get repainted and then suspension work started.

Truck's rendering looks beautiful.

It may be the angle but I can't believe you're not rollpaning it though.

Nice rendering! Should have yelled at me, I could have done it too lol and I bet cheaper.

looks great!

Thanks for the positive words guys, we aren't planning on putting a roll pan on it, we believe it looks alot better with a modified rear bumper, we will have to pe cut, section and recontour it because it hangs a little lower than the rocker of the truck. We will be building a sheetmetal front bumper because if we had sectioned it enough it would have ended up looking really disproportionate.

As for the rendering, we get quite a few done over short periods of time, so you'd be surprised at how affordable they are. I will keep you in mind though for sure!

If anyone has any questions, on something this extensive, or even basic, on any kind of suspension feel free to email us at [email protected] or contact us via facebook.

Thanks again, y'all.

Trick, I remember looking at your Yukon at Layd out at the Park in 2010, nice work the guys at auto extremes put in on it. Love the color combo.

I hope everyone likes how this turns out, id hate to do an injustice to all you tahoe/yukon/escalade/suburban/avalanche owners out there!

[NASTY GM]

Is it going to have a back seat? I want to keep mine but its going to cost a $hit load of money

trick28 did you keep your back seat?

 

[Young28]

yup. I have buckets now but i did keep them. The spacing between them is smaller than stock.

Door panel is cut quite a bit and doesnt look out of place... sweet.

The Back Seat will go in with some modification, but we may end up with two buckets in the rear after SEMA.
