Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer

Wow!! Those vents are just sick. Love the seat and color. Gonna tie in with the gold on the doors and wheels. Cant wait to see The rest of the interior. I think you could stop the build as is. And still have one of the baddest C 10's around.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer

Seat looks great. I think the color is great with the orange. When do we get to see the chassis? Seems like it should be soon!!!

Gotcha, Thanks for the reply. I see now that the hinges are recessed if I look closely at the pic. Nice touch!

Its coming along great and the seat looks outstanding. Are you going to do something with the brake pedal leg to match up with the rest? You know, drill holes, polish it up, etc.

It will be drilled and painted orange

Seat looks awesome Eric, it looks super comfy. I like the idea of the vent mounted in the dimple die, looks like it belongs there

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer

Here are some pictures for you guys. I am working on the truck as much as I can but as you guys know it takes tons of time. I wanted to shoot a puicture of the hood hinge counter sunk into the gutter. I also put the ac in this weekend. I picked up my aluminum frame that branden made me to house the half inch plexiglass that will go in the center of the bed. The frame of it will be polished
