Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
Sorry for not having pics but the truck is at Novelli Rod and customs getting the inner fenders built. I will be up there tonight and I will take dome pics. I am in the process of building the the rear bumper brackets.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
So truck is at Novelli rod and customs. The inner fender patterns are being mocked in card board. I built the rear bumper mounts today and got the bumpers mounted. Also event and took some pictures of the kick panels being built by audiosports in Folsom ca

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
Eric, I hate to say this but I think those inner fenders need to be re-thought. They don't flow with your dimple died firewall and they don't work with the radiator support. You won't have much room for brake lines either. Other than those items, not bad.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
I have no doubt. I am not worthy to untie the thongs of your sandals.
I thought the GMC was going to be sold?

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
Also he dimple dies on the core support will never be seen from the inside. They will only be seen from through the grille. The ones inside the motor compartment on the core will be smooth

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
Looking Great Eric.. Looks like your going with a more squarish design to the inner fenders as opposed to like a Slosh setup.. cant wait to see the final..
I really like the kick panels. are they metal or ABS ? what happened with the ? Keep Grinding bro (no pun intended) |

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
The inner fender is a spy pic so we can't see what it really looks like.

That's cool. At least you know it went to a good home. I'm sure we'll see it around here.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
I was wondering what Radiator you are using. I am running an LS motor with a Dropmember in the front. Any info would be great, Thanks Daniel.

Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer
Griffin 4 core. I bought the one that does not have the trans cooler. I bought it from American past times they are a vendor on the board.
