Ummmmm... yeah, man, what he said!

Kabwe · 06-22-2013, 05:01 PM

Man I'm really not thinking about that truck right now. Too much on my plate sorry. I will update when I get started on it again and that will hopefully be soon. Maybe I will start on it again after the Brothers Truck Show next week.

No reason to apologize Bam! Sometimes the truck is the last thing on the list!

We've all been there, sometimes life gets in the way. Sometimes we need a break, to collect our thoughts and then we're ready to go again...Jim

Bam, how are you old friend? Just caught back up with your post. Had to take some time off for a few things like you are doing now. I just finished my lower door hinge pocket this week. I have to tackle that dreaded inner pillar pocket tomorrow. It feels good to be back at it again. Take care and keep us updated on yours as you can.

Kabwe · 06-24-2013, 11:43 AM

I cut it at 1 and 2 and made a patch.

JR25 · 07-27-2013, 10:42 AM

Where have you been? I havent seen you pop up lately...... and I know you have had to do SOMETHING on your truck in a month!

Man I have not touched that truck in a while. I've been very busy with my family duties lately. I will get back to it soon hopefully.

Need some help, maybe we can all come over and knock out the list so you can get back to being "the truck whisperer"

thump16 · 07-30-2013, 11:25 AM

That's funny.

more pics please.

Well after that little incident at my place of work I've really just slowed down and started putting in more family time. I'm also finishing up some remodeling after that I will jump back on the truck.

Wow man. Just got caught up on whats been going on with you! Ive never been in a situation with no way out. But I can say that after near death situations, life and the people that you love take on a whole new meaning and priority. When I got back from Afghanistan, I wanted the wife and kids all in the bed with me every night! I couldn't squeeze then tight enough!
When reality hits, dont hesitate to talk to someone about how you feel. We lose more guys after they get home than we do overseas. You and your co worker should keep a check on each other!

At the end of the day, just remember you are in God's plan!

Bam,

I just read the other post too. Glad you are ok. I am close enough that if you ever need anything let me know.

Thanks buddy.

It was not even close to Afghanistan I got to go home after my 2 hour ordeal. But I will heed your advice and I am taking it easy and enjoying myself immensely. But it is time to get back to work.lol

You guys on this forum are great. Thanks for all the kind words fellas.

**Dan in Pasadena** · 07-30-2013, 01:03 PM

Bam,

I was gonna post a teaser soon but then I realized the issue probably was related to the shooting.

We all like your work but what makes it special and interesting to us is that your photos are good and your personality comes through in your words. Take your time and enjoy EVERY moment. You ACTUALLY "dodged a bullet" - or many bullets. Smell the roses dude, you DEFINITELY deserve to!

Thanks buddy I really appreciate that.

thump16 · 07-30-2013, 09:06 PM

Sorry Kabwe, my friends went out of town 2 weeks ago and I had a crash course on watching/taming their not so friendly dogs(don't like anyone outside family prone to bite strangers). I sent them pictures of their dogs acting like babies in my lap and they sent me a text calling me a "dog whisperer" classic but still more pics please. lol

JR25 · 07-31-2013, 04:47 PM

Thats what friends are for man!

It's good to have you here in one piece Kabwe. When you are finished whispering to your truck, I will let you talk to mine. All it wants to be right now is a pile of parts. Awe who am I kidding?, house repairs and kids have me tied down as well.

Hey Bam: I remember you posting the incident on the SoCal post, but I dont recall you posting it here on your post. Maybe thats why most had not seen it. Anyway after the honey doo's are done, I will drop my truck off for you to finish up the welding for me. LOL

Now that should light a fire.

Hey, HEY!!! I've got first dibs. I've wanted him to do stuff on my truck but he's been busy a long time...and that was before he had to deal with a friggin lunatic at work...no, not the ordinary lunatics we all deal with at work, a REAL lunatic! It'd be funny if it weren't tragic.

Ok Dan, your right, you do have first dibs,.......right after me. LOL
But then again, I have a 67-72 series truck, so Bam might push me to the end of the line. Guess you are first.

ptc · 03-20-2015, 02:08 PM

Bam I'm new here and just spent a day reading all this build thread... my head is spinning!... what great metal work you do! You have a real talent that requires so much patience and perseverance to do good work. It is inspiring!... can't wait to see more of it.

Thanks
