Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
I have already hammered and dolied the heck out of it. I know you will get some shrinkage but in my mind there is too much on this piece of metal

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
My old man told me to leave it the hell alone and use some filler but I have a hard time doing that

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
Were I screwed up was i sectioned the fender in the center I only had to extend the fender 2 inches. When I put it back together I dont think it was flat that combined with the shrinkage and there you have it the metal warped in the center. I am going to cut the next fender on the end and lower the heat a little. I use the same technique you use. See how it works. I am always trying to get better.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
I've been trying to figure out this discussion on warpage, completely missed the fenders...awesome style. Tootsies burnouts will look amazing as the smoke flows thru those holes!! Your Dad's probably not too wrong on the fix, but I trust you'll get it right.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
You guys no I just want the metal to be as close to perfect as possible. I dont want alot of filler on this truck.

you've always gone for perfection. and that is to be admired. if you tack every two inches and come come back and piggyback your welds until you have it completely welded. this gives the metal a chance to cool and will reduce if not eliminate the distortion |

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
That bed looks sick, you do really nice work. The motor you are planning is going to be a beast. This is going to be a crazy ass truck, I can't wait to see it done.
