Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
Eric looks awesome as usual. One question on your shear plates it looks like you did a full perimeter weld. You also have your holes with the flange up. Are you worried about water resting in this area or did I miss something?
Again over the top man. Looks awesome,"off the chain". Posted via Mobile Device |

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
Do you have some body drop built in too? .. or is the frame just built so low it's no longer even necessary ?
Looking at it as compared to a stock frame I can't really tell the proportion, ex. where the cab mounts would be vs. the bed mounts. The engineering and (assuming Auto CAD) knowledge .. not even thinking about the welding skill, just the design and how all the pieces fit together blows me away. Wow.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
Makes sense .. Is it Hugger orange or HOK of some sort ? Tangelo ? any metallic at all in the base / clear ?
I had a hugger 69 Camaro for 17yrs and sold it in attempt to save a failing marriage. I loved that car. Original Cali car, all GM metal, and as clean as they come. White stripes, black int. 350 car.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
Thanks guys for all the complaments and I am glad you guys love like this truck. Here's the deal guys. I want my dad to have another one of these trucks to roll to the shows with me so he can meet everyone and keep his mind clear. So my dad and I bought a truck yesterday from Tony Ortega. It will not be an insane build but cool as hell. We just found out my mom has cancer in her other lymphnode on the other side same place so it does not look good. We are all in shock as of now because she has not even recover from the first surgery. At any rate life must go on and my mom is strong so she is fighting. I will post pics today after I pick up the truck. Thanks again guys and don't worry Tootsie will be finished first. Travis and I are working on a sponsor package as we speak so I hope some people will get on board
