Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
Eric that's a nice healthy number. My buddy has an LS1 with a 1900 in my old 67 and it's crazy. Totally streetable and fun to drive. It's a brand new build to be debuted in SEMA. I've never been so it should b a lot of fun. Are u going to SEMA?

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
Man you are building a pretty slick truck. I am normally not a big fan of 1/2 tons, they have been done to death IMHO, this truck however has some very original ideas in it. I am pretty impressed.
I must say I am a bit envious, that you are doing this project for your mother, not because you are getting to to build the truck, but that you have such a close relationship with her. Fifteen years ago I kicked my mother out of my life, I haven't spoken to her since. All I know about where she is now is that recently she got out of prison. The pedal cars for your kids are an awesome thing as well. My dad did stuff like that for me when I was a kid, in fact I had this little powered 3 wheeler I'd ride around, well dad made me a goose neck trailer to pull behind it. It was great and funny now 22 years later my current project is a 1 ton dually and a goose neck trailer. Projects like this are a great influence for your kids. If you get them out into the shop with you and you teach them the skills you have, they will take them very far in life. There is no reason you have to choose between your family and your projects, teaching your kids about cars is something that will create memories they will cherish some day when it is you who is not long for this world. I wish you the best of luck on the build, I will be following to see how it turns out. That and I hope your mother is just too awnry and stubborn to let a "little" think like cancer keep her down.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
Well deserved for a badass truck. Did it at least go to someone who'll love it?

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
No offense to the guy that owns the cover truck but I think they should have put Pops truck as the main one on the cover.
