Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build

President Butthead? Lol.

Oh well, if that's the only thing you get called as President that's doing great these days!

Bam, your truck just flatly looks GREAT! Truly and deeply impressed. As I said on "the other board" it reminds me of my favorite candy. Bam will now be known as the "Jolly Rancher" ha ha.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build

That green is something you gotta see it in person the pictures don't do it justice, and it really pops next to polished aluminum, especially billet aluminum... Ohh I know what, when you're done we can post pictures of it on KillBillet and watch their heads explode
All kidding aside Kabwe the truck is going to look awesome I go to a lot of shows and there are not a lot of greens like this out there. You always want to do something a little different and this is it... Bling, Bling,BLINGGGG!!!

Hey Fabguy I'm gonna post some pics of your ryde. On my page I forgot to do it after I promised you I would, lol. At least you are kool about it. Kabwe doesn't show me any mercy whatsoever if I forget to do something I promised... hahaha . Like I said I would have my truck done way before his, lol now he's catching up and I still aint done, so he gives me heat about , " why your truck not done yet?"

Well back to your truck here's a photo I think you'll like. YOUR TRUCK IS JUST WICKED. I will post more on my page.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build

Thanks guys I really appreciate the comments.

BC don't even get me started on the cookie cutter mentality of any kind. Be it my style of build or others I'm not into everyone has to build the same ride or your ride is not cool mentality. I just love old metal and respect all who take the time to pick the challenge of building something. I'm a huge fan of the home builder because that is what rodding is all about be it stocked, modified, custom, prostreet, or what ever. Just get your build on and the heck with all the crap among car guys. True car guys must love cars period.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build

Hey Bam. When you smoothed your door jambs, how did you do it? Just weld up the seams and apply filler and then paint? Mind explaining a bit.

That is exactly what I did. I completely welded all the seams, grind them smooth and added filler.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build

Vdog,
Shhhhhhh, Bam's probably out at the beach catching some zzzz's!

Kidding.

Bam, as you MAY have read I have crossed over to the light - I bought an IFS kit so no dropped axle for me afterall and it's official now.
