Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer

You gonna leave the dimpled holes open? Or maybe some mesh like this on the backside?

You may have deviated from the rendering, but that's the price you pay when you're creative. Nice change.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer

Thanks guys here is my plan for the holes. I like the mesh but it has been done as most things have. So I am going to back the holes with polished stainless I think it will really pop next to the orange and the polished bed strips and tank.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer

I am also thinking about changing the wood to something different. I am just not a big fan of oak.

I have to agree with you. I don't think the color of that oak works well with the orange. I would go lighter like maple. I also think it would match well with the gold rims.

Agreed ! There is so much nicer looking wood out there . With that being said, I'm on my second set and it's also oak . But that was before I did my homework and saw all that's available . Mine will be something black so you really won't see the grain much !

Keep plugging away at it , it's looking awesome !

The issue iss the interior is going to be saddle brown so I was going to do a darker brown to go with the interior but not sure just yet. With the way I am going with metal work and having the glass in the center of the bed to see the frame and rear end there may not be a lot of wood left

I am not sure if I will make it to Az I don't think it will be done. I have spent a ton of money already and I don't no if I will have her finished by then. But I will be at the show regardless. Had a blast last year.
