It's not quite that easy. I am not sure on your fab skills. I don't mean that rude at all. If you can tig and have the skill. You will need to order around 14 1 7/8 inch j bends mild steel or stainless. Then you will need header flanges for you motor. You will also need 2 four into 1 collectors and two v band clamps. You will have close to 700 dollars in material in the headers if you do it out of mild steel. Hope this helps.

Just keeps getting better. I love the engine compartment metalwork. It'll be like Foose says, "open the jewelry box... Bang! Showcases the motor." Keep it up!

Thanks Del you the man. Are you going to go to the BBQ on October 5th

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

I'll be there with bells on buddy. Not driving anything cool as always.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

That happens when you are building everyone else cool trucks. That's a good problem to have in your business. I will see you there I am going to be rolling the chevelle tootsie will not be done yet.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

I could always swing by and pick you up in my 96 GMC extended cab. :) It's pretty "cool". :ito:

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

Hay that's cool with me brother. Saves me gas money.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

Well we are almost done with metal work on the truck one more day then blowning the truck apart for paint.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

Thank you we are trying to knock it out

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

I'm blown away every time I see this truck. You've done an amazing job and I don't know if I can ever take it all in. You sir, are gifted with talent and vision!

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

what's the cover with the speed holes in it for? It's on the floor in front of the seat.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

Thank you we are just trying to get it done for Sema and as long as we don't hit a road block we should be ok. I built that to mount the computer to the fire was under the dash but then we decided to move the computer to under the seat. So now it is scrap. lol

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

This thing is on a whole nother level!!! It's mind boogling.. :metal: :metal:

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

Absolutely amazing, what an awesome tribute to your mom

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

Looks awesome love those door panels cant wait to see you finish them paint and leather??

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

Thank you. I can honestly say I was never planning on building this truck at this level it just snow balled. The truck has so much meaning to me so I have poured all I have into it. Thank you for following the build
Thank you
The door panels will be ultra leather

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

Love the door panels!

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

I think they will look great once they are covered.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

I understand this. I did the same with my father's truck, as he passed on in 97.

Do you know if Marquez is selling those door panels? They're almost perfect for my truck.
