This thread needs more bagged Tahoes

Agreed! But as it is not mine it probably wont be bagged lol. But I have gone through @Fosscore thread and going to try and go that route. Just so simple and clean looking

Nice clean start for sure.
So your using Fosscores build as a guide, that mean color matching chrome ?
The chrome goes good with that body color

Probably not going to color match the chrome. I personally love chrome and will end up just color matching the plastics as well as the mirrors and then adding chrome caps and chrome handle pulls. But that's definitely in the future.

For now I'm trying to figure out some if the weird little issues it has. It takes forever to fill up the tank that I've read and believe it should be the evap and then it also has a rough time starting. I'll turn the key and it'll try to turn over but it'll take like 3 times to get it to start up and running good. So I've read and think it might be the regulator so I'm going to first pop the vacuum hose off and see if fuel comes out and if not might still replace it

Small update, got the canister vent solinoid in and a billet bowtie just need to put them in.

Also found out the the regulator is in the tank with the fuel pump so not sure if I'll be doing that job or if I am going to take it to a shop.

Hand polished the bowtie but I think it needs to be sanded and re polished with rogue bars because of the light scratches.

Installed the new emblem and also the evap canister so hopefully that is fixed but won't know till she goes to fill it up.

Well the evap canister didn't fix the fill up issue so not sure what that could be. Maybe the fuel pump Also still having the hard start issue as well that could be the fuel pump as well but not looking forward to dropping the gas tank.

But I did take off the rear wiper and plugged it with some small plugs. Wanted to color match them but was about to rain and I didn't have the paint. So I'll get some paint and paint the spare plugs that I have

Nice work on the plugs. The color match will make it so much better.

Any updates ? Was off to a promising start
Fuel pump is a pain but it's gotta be done at some point. Just remember you'll never have to do it again lol.

I didn't even notice your candy tails. Nice touch, we both have great taste.

So did you order drop parts or lift parts ?
Got new fogs?

 

[73impala]

Still going at it. Haven't ordered a fuel pump yet but it'll get done here soon. No lift parts or lowering parts either. Going to be a slow process. Fogs are probably up next. Want to order a z71 valance and do the fogs toi

 

[73impala]

Small update. Was her birthday last week so I get her some truck parts. Got a new LTZ black valance put on as well as some new foglights and also a new billet grille and billet bumper filler.
