When do you think it will be blown apart for paint and plating?

It is already looking sick!

Cant wait to see it all finished up! You have worked hard man, we're just living vicariously through you. I wish I had the knowledge to do stuff like this. Id love to build a bagged truck someday.

Thanks Nate did a great job on the frame. But I changed some things on it and gave it a few of my own touches

I use a regular tube bender that you can buy at any autoparts store. But To flare I use the mastercool flaring tool. It is very expensive but you will have zero leaks if you prep the line correctly

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 
Eric, are you going to do anything to the zick coating or just run it as is from the plater? I just know from prior applications that it will form a haze or film after being exposed to the elements. Just curious on your tricks or thoughts on it.

superflysteiny 03-06-2013 04:26 PM

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
 
All the hardware will be polished stainless, I have it on order and it shouls be here next week.
