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".

No because this truck will never see water. I see your point and you are 100% right but with all the polish and nickle plating I will have on this truck I will avoid water like the plague.

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.

no nosy drop. Ithis 67 is a big window which as you know is rare. Plus pair was done so I don't want to cut the cab. Plus with the size of the wheels and the rear tires body drop ment I would have to cut up the bed too

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

Eric just keeps raising the bar for C-10's! I'm going to start building bicycles or something But... in all seriousness, killer work as usual & the frame gets more incredible with every update.

so much for "this is the last truck I going to build" statement....

Given your string of trucks, Your Dad's truck should be SWEET!

BUT, you gotta finish MOM's first!

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer

So, .. Pops is going to build another one? It's like a disease man.. You get this stuff on your skin it just won't come off. .. and sucks your wallet dry. It actually shredded mine and spit out the pieces then laughed! <insert scary laugh here>

You must have the coolest wife ever.

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
