They are looking at buying in the Austin hill country area. Its very pricey by our standards, and she is amazed at how "cheap" everything is compared to California prices.

Eric..c'mon down buddy. We got plenty of room and lots of hotrod shops in Texas.

Truck's looking amazing!

mjensen · 11-08-2012, 10:50 PM

I'm not sure why I even have a build thread

This thing is freaking awesome!!!!

Newtz67 · 11-08-2012, 11:25 PM

Wow, looks awesome bro!

duallyjams · 11-09-2012, 09:24 AM

The truck is stunning.

All I can tell you is don't move Maryland unless you want to pay more taxes.

knomadd · 11-09-2012, 05:35 PM

WOW, that's looking killer! Great job so far! Can't wait to see the end result.

66redw/white · 11-09-2012, 10:46 PM

austin people are crazy. its a fun town tho. lived there alittle on and off in round rock. lots of fun and lots of trouble. lol. i think id move to the outskirts of houston myself. and when i say outskirts i mean conroe. or further. posibly the woodlands

El Campo · 11-09-2012, 10:47 PM

Fredricksburg is awesome little town but it is small, only about 12,000 if I remember correctly. I go there every year in the spring as the wildflowers are unmatched anywhere I have ever been. Awesome little German town with some AMAAAAAZING food (der Lindenbaum for example). Only about an hour from Austin which has room for anything no matter how strange and people like it that way. The Texas Heatwave is there every year in July and attracts tremendous number of trucks. Also the Republic of Texas motorcycle rally is in June and I go there every chance I get as it is great! Not as much humidity up there in the Hill Country as we have down in Houston and on the Coast. I am from Houston and south of Houston so I am required to hate Dallas haha. There ARE a lot of douchebags and golddiggers but if you are into that sort of thing its a cool place. Tremendous amount of good looking women, maybe even more than SoCal. Lot of good honest people also but definitely are a bunch of $30,000 millionaires there. I go there sometimes as I have friends there and its a fun place to party. Alot of my friends from there would never live anywhere else.

Man guys what the hell is going on with this country. If texas turns we are all screwed. Any way thank you for all the info on texas. I am reeally considering getting the hell out of this state. But back to Tootsie I ran into a major road block while mounting the bumper. When the frame was built the lower hoop is in the way of the lower bumper. I tried to trim the lower part of the bumper but it just did not look right when I mounted it. To say I am disappointed is an understatment. I made the upper bumper mount and I had to cut the lower bar off and moved the lower tube back one inch. It made room for the bumper but the issue is once the frame is gold It will be seen on the bottom of the bumper and I fear it will look like crap or stand out. Here are some pics. Most of the trim is on hood is mounted. Let me know what you guys thinks.

Looks amazing!! maybe you could turn the lower bar upward after it passes the radiator support, then you could make it line up with the bottom bumper holes. Maybe??

Problem is that even if I turn them up they will show so I will most likley go with I may make the bar removable and have it chromed.

mjensen · 11-11-2012, 02:39 PM

That's too bad about bumper. Is there any option of reshaping the bumper? Probably wouldn't look as cool though I guess.

I wouldn't move the top bar, just the bottom bar. turn it up toward the top bar after the radiator support.

duallyjams · 11-11-2012, 04:27 PM

The truck is a work of art. The front bar is one of those things that will nag you but most other people wouldn't even notice it.

II could do it but it would be a ton of work and then I would have to have it reshaped

He could but he is in Az and I am here. I can fix it and I am by know means upset with Nathan. Just sucks to have to cut on this frame.
The fact is, its the baddest C10 on the planet IMO. Dont sweat it.. Im sure youll come up with something.

I was never planning on moving the top bar. The issue is that there is not enough room to make a bend on a tube bender to get the bar up. I think I am going to make the bart removable and have it plated so it blends with bumper.

Thank you I just feel if it was gold it would stand out on not in a good way. I am super anal which is not always good

Zoomin · 11-11-2012, 02:25 PM

The bottom rail needs to angle up, get pulled back, or both I'm afraid.
