I have pinched every penny I can as I do with all of my builds. I will be at least 60-70000 into the truck. This does not count my labor which as we all know it is not free. I have almost ran out of money. The motor and trans is what killed me.

I got most of the seat base built last night. I put the new billet specialties steering wheel in from there flat out series. I personally love it. Just need to have it wrapped. The wiring loom is also around 95 percent finished. I put a v band clamp on it so I can get it in and out of the truck easier. I think it came out good. I am going to get a tig and learn to weld that way. I know the mig has its place but the tig weld is so much nicer. I figure with my hand and I coordination I could learn so that is the next think I will buy for the shop.

Simply beautiful truck/fab, hope all is well with the family.

Sorry man, but I had to laugh when I saw all the wiring coiled up in the passenger floorboard. It sure if fun sorting all that out, isn't it? The wiring loom did turn out nice, another example of improvising and making lemonade. It's amazing to me how you can do all this, run a business, and keep the family from feeling like orphans.

Love it, bro!

Thanks I have been burning the candle at both ends and I feel like I am never going to finish it in time. I guess time will tell. Wish me luck

I agree ^^^^^ cant wait to see More of Tootsie!! Something about these old trucks both look great together. Tootsie full BLOWN out of this world build, and a good old GMC holding her own. Great work on the wiring too

More prayers for your family. I am in for some tee's I think it would be cool to make a kids shirt of just the door logo. I would buy one for my daughter.
