The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network - Tootsie build for my mother with cancer

I look at this build 10x a day but I never comment. It leaves me speechless every time! Everything is perfect and the intake turned out killer! Keep it up man. I really hope to see this truck in person someday

Polished. There is no anodized parts on the truck. At one point I was going to do gold anodizing on the truck but I thought it would be over kill

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer

Man Eric that is looking good. I really like the billet bumper brackets. That is a cool detail for an already over the top truck.

One question...I know you are going to fill in the dimpled holes in the firewall that are covered by the inner fenders. Are you putting any in the inner fenders like you did for the rear inner fenders? I just wonder if the ones in the firewall will look out of place once the booster/MC is install and blocking some of them from view. I do know that what you do end up doing will be the right thing. Sometimes it is just hard for me to see the "vision" during a build. Its just a detail that I would like to know where your headed I guess...

I will have some in the fenders too but I need all the metal work in the engine finished so I know were to go with it. I am shaving the holes were the inner fenders cross on the fire wall. Kind of jumped the gun when I put those in the firewall:banghead: I will get pics posted when it is all finished

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer

This build is just beautiful!

The Ironic thing is that my Grandmother was called Tootsie her whole life. Kinda sweet to hear your mother was called that. I love and miss her daily...

All the best to you bud!

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer

Man, I this a amazing build! Nothing but quality parts and workmanship.

I love your engine bay, thinking of getting a Direct Sheetmetal firewall. Would you recommend? I see you've used it on a couple trucks.
