Re: Tootsie build for my mother with cancer

It's not quite that easy. I am not sure on your fab skills. I don't mean that rude at all. If you can tig and have the skill. You will need to order around 14 1 7/8 inch j bends mild steel or stainless. Then you will need header flanges for you motor. You will also need 2 four into 1 collectors and two v band clamps. You will have close to 700 dollars in material in the headers if you do it out of mild steel. Hope this helps.

Just keeps getting better. I love the engine compartment metalwork. It'll be like Foose says, "open the jewelry box... Bang! Showcases the motor." Keep it up!

I could always swing by and pick you up in my 96 GMC extended cab. It's pretty "cool".

Thank you. I can honestly say I was never planning on building this truck at this level it just snow balled. The truck has so much meaning to me so I have poured all I have into it. Thank you for following the build

I understand this. I did the same with my father's truck, as he passed on in 97.

Do you know if Marquez is selling those door panels? They're almost perfect for my truck.
