Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer

Yeah Devin I think this one would be very hard to replace. the time and effort that Eric put into it , as well as the meaning behind it all... yeah this is a once bin a life time c-10. I think we need to change the subject. I just want to see it finished and cruising down the road...

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer

Just seen your truck on Porterbuilt Fabrications shop webpage while I was browsing for parts today. That's pretty awesome, you have really done a outstanding job on the truck.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer

I'll give you 200,000 Vietnamese Dong for it and one of your kids can have it back when they turn 16. Deal?

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer

Very slick! Looks like it will be invisible when you're done.

Will you leave them mostly like this or will you put a heat shrink wrapping, electrical tape, or something else like that to cover the full set of wires?

This is just roughed in no loom and we are building a cover that will go over the rail and wiring. Thanks Eric

Remember the offer was Vietnamese Dongs (love the Duck Dynasty reference by the way LOL)

Here's what that works out to...

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer

Question -- you still thinking about the gold in your wheels? I like them polished personally but I have never seen gold PC on a billet wheel so .. I could be proven wrong I guess. My vote is to stay polished. It would scare me to get PC anywhere close to them.

Bumper brackets are almost done. I am really happy with how clean it turned out.

Clean doesn't even begin to describe your work. Bless you and your modesty!
