Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

Eric, I want to pick your brain on something since you have done so many of these trucks. When you cut the radius in inner bed liner for tire clearance, how do you handle finishing the gap between the inner and outer bed? thanks

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

Are those gauges compatible with the LS motor? They look darn good.

Thanks guys for everyone that has reached out to me on the shirts. I thought it would be a lot easier to just have the shirts made but because my trucks image is not in a vector file it has to be redone. So that is the reason for the delay. Please try to have patience with me as this is the first time doing something like this. Thanks

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

If the truck is painted already I would just cut the inner bed wall smooth is with the die grinder and use a base coat on a pin stripe brush to paint in the edge. If the truck is not painted I will build sheet metal boxes that are welded to the inner bed panel. I dont have any pics but delmo and n2built have pics of some on there builds. Hope this helps.
Yes they have there own sending units that go to the block and then to the gauges. Hope this helps

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

Sorry for not having pics but the truck is at Novelli Rod and customs getting the inner fenders built. I will be up there tonight and I will take dome pics. I am in the process of building the the rear bumper brackets.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

We will all still be here when they are ready.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

Thank you

So truck is at Novelli rod and customs. The inner fender patterns are being mocked in card board. I built the rear bumper mounts today and got the bumpers mounted. Also event and took some pictures of the kick panels being built by audiosports in Folsom ca http://i1005.photobucket.com/albums/...8061C0B620.jpg

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

It all looks great! :metal:

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

Eric, I hate to say this but I think those inner fenders need to be re-thought. They don't flow with your dimple died firewall and they don't work with the radiator support. You won't have much room for brake lines either. Other than those items, not bad.

Just wait till they are finished you will see they will be cool I promise. I am going to shave the dimples were the fenders go over. I promise we won't disappoint

I have no doubt. I am not worthy to untie the thongs of your sandals. :)

I thought the GMC was going to be sold?

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

Also he dimple dies on the core support will never be seen from the inside. They will only be seen from through the grille. The ones inside the motor compartment on the core will be smooth

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

Yeah you are ;)

And please no one doubt Marios skill and eye for design the inner fenders are gonna be stellar.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

Looking Great Eric.. Looks like your going with a more squarish design to the inner fenders as opposed to like a Slosh setup.. cant wait to see the final..
I really like the kick panels. are they metal or ABS ?

what happened with the :gmc2:? Keep Grinding bro (no pun intended) :metal:

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

This is a great build , never seen anything like it on another truck, nice work

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

The inner fender is a spy pic so we can't see what it really looks like.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

Nice as always! Did I miss something the GMC sold?

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 

That goes times a hundred for me!

I was wondering what Radiator you are using. I am running an LS motor with a Dropmember in the front. Any info would be great, Thanks Daniel.
