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.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
They won't be powder coated. They will be painted. They will look great I promise.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
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!

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
Thanks man I appreciate that. I can't take credit for the bumper. It was Mario's idea. I am going to round all the corners on the flat plate should look good when it is finished

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
looks good. How will the tube be bolted to the frame (Pics)? Will the tubes be welded to that plate that mounts to the bumper?

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
Tubes are welded to the plates. Just finished it tonight. Then I will drill both tubes right were the tubes meet. I will tap both tubes and I will put a set screw/ bolt through the tubes. I won't do it until I get the bed back on.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
Back at it hard again. I got the exhaust in final mock stage and rear cab cut outs are ready made out of solid billet. Bumper mounts are done solid billet. Enjoy my friends

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
Thanks guys. This is the last time I ever build a truck that is already painted. It is to tough to work around but I will get it done. Thanks for following the build.

The build is absolutely amazing. I only wish I could see it in person someday. Ohio is a long ways away, lol.
