What did you do to your NNBS GMT900 Tahoe/Yukon Today?

[George B]

From past body shop experiences I have found it best to attack the rust right away. Usually means cutting it out. I have a body shop (former employer) I trust for such work. Also glad I have non-metalic or pearl paint which minimizes blending.

Well glad to see I'm not the only one having some things not go as planned

Pics to follow. I did a mock up with my ZR1 brake set up......everything went together as expected.......then the boat of fail arrived. I went up to 20" wheels to accommodate the larger brakes, but the offspace/backspacing of my wheels sad F U.

A .50" space would probably make it work, but the wheel/tire set up I have is already flush with the fenders. SO I would have to add spacers and fender flares ($450 +plus paint) to make it work........ OR sell the set up and look for another option.

Geez, I never had an invisible message, sounds kind of top secret.

Probably have to bounce it off the computers at the NSA, I heard we are on heighten alert now.

The other option would be to get different wheels, but again, another option I'm not fond of. Especially with everything I went through to locate and get these wheels done.

NSA, its nothing like you see in the movies, trust me. But its a squirrely organization for sure.

Looking forward to pics of the widebody mod process.

I worked for a company that had division that did contract work for the NSA among other departments in the Federal government. It was mainly crypto stuff.

They were walled off from the areas I worked, had separate entrances with and special security. Occasionally I would have to have a meeting with one of the guys who worked on that side. When you first sat down, if you said something like, "how are you doing?", they might respond, "why do you ask?" Different world that.

But if it was invisible how would you know it was even there?
