Easton loves drawing pictures for people as well as photography and videography at car shows and events.
Easton is a remarkable man with a big heart and soul. Compassion for others, kindness, generosity, he strives for excellence in school, he wants everyone to get along and he wants everyone to treat him kindly and hopes bullying stops.
Easton is currently drawing pictures, taking special requests and pictures / videos to earn money for his truck and parts.
He signed a contracted agreement with the "Bank of MOM" to own Betty Blu and for him to earn money for his parts, accessories and truck; learn some needed life lessons and the value of money; how hard it is to earn it and how quickly it can go away.
Thank you for supporting Easton and his wonderful journey. He is so proud and happy about this truck and to get her running and take her to shows.
He hopes to have her finished and paid for by the time he is 15 or 16.
He will turn 11 next month in August.
Please let us know if Easton can draw a picture for you of your hot rod, pet, car, favorite animal, etc at CRG@ChopDRatzGarage.com
Include several pictures [side shot] and mailing address. He is accepting donations per picture plus $6 s&h.

Thank you SO much from the bottom of my heart for supporting our sweet, amazing Easton with his new truck journey of owning and restoring his 1985 Chevrolet C10 long bed " BETTY BLU ".
He will draw a custom picture for you of your choosing for a donation per picture plus $6.00 s & h.
Please send pictures of what you want drawn with a clear side shot and the mailing address.
This has been such a great task for his behavior and mood and we hope he continues to flourish and see just how truly amazing and talented he is.
He has had a rough journey since being diagnosed with growth hormone deficiency leaving him without the ability to grow on his own, bullying, insecurities and way too many doctors' appointments, therapies, scans and X-rays.
During a yearly brain MRI in 2017, doctors discovered several brain tumors.
Unfortunately, Easton now has 11 brain tumors and had 2 botched open brain surgeries back in Atlanta. We have since moved to Tennessee and he is being treated at Vanderbilt.
He puts on a brave face and a beautiful smile. We just want health, happiness and everything he deserves.
[ All proceeds collected for Easton and his build are put into his own savings account and for him to use for his truck, parts and accessories. ]
Both Easton and Jase are two remarkable, young men and we are truly blessed.

Kilmat Pre-Cut Sound Deadener
Kilmat - will I ever use again?
Short answer is YES! But read my review, experience and thoughts on the Kilmat Pre-Cut Sound Deadener brand.
Premium GM11C Fuel Tank with Baffle
Since I did a LS swap on my 1977 C10 build, I wanted a fuel tank that was the exact factory size as my original fuel tank but has the inner baffle to accommodate and be more efficient yet budget friendly for just $109.99 plus tax.
To purchase:
Premium GM11C Fuel Tank w/ Baffle
This tank comes with the O-ring and locking ring.
I purchased it mid-day and less than 24 hours later it was on my front door step. Good 'ole Amazon Prime.
Good reviews and just what I needed but you will find difficulty finding the right size hose to fit this size fuel inlet. The factory fuel tank inlet was about 1.275 inches while this Spectra GM11C Fuel Tank is 2 inches [fleetside].
While you are adding this fuel tank to your Amazon cart, go ahead and add the 2 inch hose off Amazon " Part 20339 Gates / Premium Molded Coolant Hose ". Price will run you about $12.55 plus tax.
To Purchase:
Spectra Premium Sending Unit for LS swap C10
I opted for the Spectra Premium FG05M Sending Unit for General Motors off Amazon for $114.99 plus tax and with my Amazon Prime it arrived in 2 days.
This fits great with my 1977 C10 with LS swap and a lot better on my pocket compared to auto parts stores and comes with a 30 day warranty or money back.
When purchasing, there is a left (driver side "M") and a right hand (passenger "N") side unit, so make sure you get the right part number. With my build, I ordered the "M" driver side.

GSS342-400-791 With Install Kit Fuel Pump
For $79.95 plus tax, I ordered this GSS342-400-791 With Install Kit Fuel Pumps made by Walbro off Amazon and ordered through my Prime account for faster shipping.
I had a mutual friend tell me about this cheaper alternative to fit with my LS swap, new fuel tank and sending unit that they use as well for their LS conversions and trucks. Not to mention you cannot beat the 2-3 day fast shipping!
