Al I wish you would have bought the black truck if only it was a 68

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

You are making the right choice.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

Yes Bro they are very sweet kids. Taking a break is cooool as we will always be here. Put in the pool for the kids and enjoy watching them grow up. The building is enstilled in your blood and when the time is right you will hop back it at it.
Awesome job as always Bro!!

Just saw the article in Street Trucks. I saw the name and thought it looked familiar and then I realized it was you. The rendering looks awesome and I know the truck will too, you do top notch work.

Hey Eric, you can take a couple years off and still beat most of us getting our projects done. :D

Very wise to spend time with your family - they will be grown and gone before you know it.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

I think so
Thanks man they like you too. Are you going to Az this November
Thanks I am glad you like it. I hope it turns out as nice as the rendering
Also you are right it just seems like yesterday Eve was a new born and now she is in first grade. But I smile everytime I am with them. But I am not going to say they dont try me from time to time :lol:

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

I know exactly what you mean. My oldest just finished his freshman year of high school. I took a long break from working on anything for me. Now Korbin and I are building him a truck. It won't hold a candle to your work but we are enjoying the time together. My next son is only 11 and talking about what we r going to build for him in a few years. It might be a while be for I finish mine...BUT I don't mind at all! I love the time with my kids!

Hey Eric,

alway's loved your builds but putting your kids first is very important. We all know that we can't take anything for granted as we can't time back.


Cheers,

That is so cool your kids will remember you guys building cars for ever. That is how I learned was with my dad. I have some great memories from our days in the garage

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

since i am fairly new to this forum this is the first build of yours i am watching. you do great work man. i hope one day my work is as flawless as yours. as far as your mom, its in Gods hands. love her, enjoy time with her and be there for her. God will take care of the cancer and rehab. Prayers from my family to yours for a full recovery and many rides for mom in "Tootsie". ill be watching this one.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

I can definetly relate to instead of being in the garage for so many hours, I would rather be hanging out with my kids/wife relaxing by the pool, boating going out etc. Main reason I am done with my bucket. Just drive it, show it, race it, enjoy it...


I am anticipating the end result !!!!


Make it a great day!!!

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

Family is why we work so hard. Trucks will always be there but your kids growing up bein kids won't. I luv seeing my kids happy and sometimes it means you have to change your priorities. Builds coming together awesome!!!!

I know you can Kat
two three weeks
Thank you for the kind words
I hope my kids want one of these trucks to drive to school so I can build one with them in the garage

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

Ok well the motor showed up late last week. I dont want to pull the plastic off the engine until I get all the grinding done on the fire wall. The fire wall is 90 percent done need to do a little more welding but I ran out of gas so i will get some more tomorrow and get her finished. Doors are also done just need clear.

Thanks man and to answer your question I did buy one but I would loose my windsheild wipers and I am not willing to do that so it is out of the question for that reason.
