Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer

Come on guys you are making me feel bad now. But in all seriousness thank you for all the kind words. Remember this is my last build so I am going off on this one. I have built 4 of these trucks in the last 4 yrs so I have to make this one the best. That's why I got the people involved in the build that I did. This project has a ton of meaning to me and this will be the one I keep. Glad you guys are enjoying the build

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer

Thanks guys glad you like it. My mom is getting around well. Still using a walker but getting better everyday. Got a call from the Dr today and they stated that cancer was skin cancer that started on her leg. They are going to biopsy the lymph nodes on the other side to make sure she is clear of cancer. So looks like we may have dodged a bullet only time will tell. Thank you for asking

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer

Ok so Jimmy and I started the brake lines and air lines last week. The air lines are all -4an fittings 1/4 inch stainless and the brake lines are 3/16 stainless with -3an fittings. I used single billet specialties clams and the double clamps are from earls. let me know what you guys think.
