Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

Love the look of the bed...especially that I've never seen one done like this before! :chevy:

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

You gonna leave the dimpled holes open? Or maybe some mesh like this on the backside?

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

nice work on that bed

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

the mesh behind the dimple dies look so awesome...subtle but freekin awesome, I did some wheel tubs with the mesh behind the dimples and wow what a difference....my underhood filler plates will have dimple holes with main color matched mesh....makes it pop....
DO IT ERIC :)

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

You may have deviated from the rendering, but that's the price you pay when you're creative. Nice change.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

Love the fabrication on the bed. Very nice!

Thanks guys here is my plan for the holes. I like the mesh but it has been done as most things have. So I am going to back the holes with polished stainless I think it will really pop next to the orange and the polished bed strips and tank.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

I am also thinking about changing the wood to something different. I am just not a big fan of oak. :waah:

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

Soooo Picky!!!!:lol:

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

Ya I no I am but hay its jut the way I am :lol::lol:

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

AND THATS WHY WE LOOK IN:metal:

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

I have to agree with you. I don't think the color of that oak works well with the orange. I would go lighter like maple. I also think it would match well with the gold rims.

Agreed ! There is so much nicer looking wood out there . With that being said, I'm on my second set and it's also oak . But that was before I did my homework and saw all that's available . Mine will be something black so you really won't see the grain much !

Keep plugging away at it , it's looking awesome !

WOW! nice work looks trick,looks like another cover truck:metal:

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

Your progress is looking excellent....keep it up! I really like what you are doing to the wheel wells in your truck's bed...this truck is going to be a dynamite tribute to your mom!

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

I thought your black truck was over the top, Dude this one is front cover material! Is it gonna make it to Az,. in Nov?

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

The issue iss the interior is going to be saddle brown so I was going to do a darker brown to go with the interior but not sure just yet. With the way I am going with metal work and having the glass in the center of the bed to see the frame and rear end there may not be a lot of wood left

I hope you are right Dino wait till you see the motor compartment.

thank you for the kind words

I am not sure if I will make it to Az I don't think it will be done. I have spent a ton of money already and I don't no if I will have her finished by then. But I will be at the show regardless. Had a blast last year.
