Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
I'm just a lurker on this site but I wanted to offer my condolences to you and your family. In today's age, everyone wants to make the world better for the children but no one wants to make the children better for the world. It appears you mother was able to accomplish both. When you park your truck at the show on Sunday, take a moment to really look around. I'm sure you will find the grass is a little greener, the air is a little fresher and the sun is a little brighter. That's a mothers pride!
And since I am on your build thread, I must agree with everyone else. The truck is nothing short of amazing. |

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
Wow!! that's awesome Eric, congrats on Best of Show. I'm sorry to hear that your mom has passed. I was hoping it didn't end the way it did. Your truck will be a lasting tribute to your mother and we will never forget why and who you built this truck for.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
Nice pics Eric, its an amazing truck and was awesome to see in person. I made in the background of the second to last pic, I'm on the left side leaning against the building. I have a great time talking with you, your dad, and Jimmy. You all are great people and I'm sure you're mother must have been a wonderful person to because she raised you. Once again I'm sorry for your loss.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
Congrats and condolences, Eric. It has to be bitter sweet but what a beautiful way to honor your mom! I think you all have a strong family so lean on each other during the tough times.
I really like the original wheels on it too. Well deserved Best of Show! Greg |

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
Wow, awesome news on the best Of Show trophy, congrats! I wanted so badly to go to the show but my bad back & hips said otherwise. I had been to the brothers show 5 times & the last couple were tough. Hard to navigate with a cane on uneven ground with gopher holes...lol... Oh well, maybe after surgery it will be easier. Keep up the great work on Tootsie, hope to see it in real life one of these days. I bet you mom is looking down just glowing

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
Thank you guys it was a great time last weekend. As far as the side exhausts go. My billet cut outs keep the exhaust off the truck. I have flex pipe between the main pipe and the exhaust tip. Also have heat barrier between the body and were the exhaust mounts to the billet rings
