Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

I know this is not a home remodel site but I'm feeling good about being finished and the wife is happy so that means some garage time will not be frowned upon.
I have not be procrastinating as you can see. But now I get to disappear and hide in the garage until a new honey do list emerges.

Now back to the truck.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Nice work, if my wife sees this I might have to finish our second bathroom....

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Thanks buddy.

I'm so happy to be done with this thing I don't know what to do. I did not get to touch the truck for months.

Don't let your wife see this. Women have lots of plans with your money and time.lol

In all honesty it really needed to be done. I think it's bought me a couple of months in the garage before she has any more bright ideas.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Nice work Kabwe.

We all have to fall on the sword every now and then unless we want to live in our garages permanently.

Very nice work. You should feel proud about the results.

Now get back out in the garage, before you turn into an interior designer.

Hey Bam, nice job on the bathroom, truck time OH BOY....Jim

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

The bathroom looks excellent BAM,

Wait till she has the thought "you know, the bathroom looks great honey. I bet WE can make the kitchen look even better"

LOL, thats how I get drug into those kinda things, its always "WE" until the work starts then it's "I am busy with this today but I will help out tomorrow".

All kidding aside, I am sure she is very pleased with it.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Thanks guys,

Fabguy I already did the kitchen a while back so I'm cool for a little while.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Nice work, nice to see you'll be back on the truck work soon

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Bam that is a really top notch job. I'll bet you put poppers on the cupboard doors and bagged the commode. lol. Let's see, kitchen, bathroom, maybe pavers are next.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Thanks guys for the nice words on the remodel, but now I have to get back on the truck. The really hard work begins.


Well, well, well, you have finally found your way over to this site. You will love it here buddy.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Yawner, now get back to the truck. :lol:

Im sure im going to pay for that. :lol:

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Nope I'm actually above all your petty responses.lol I've been reading a lot of Mandela's quotes lately trying to get my mind right and be loving to my fellow man and in your case the scubs.lol

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Hey, nice to see you over here GotMotors.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

It's good to be seen! Good to see you guys here too.
I was goggling bathroom remodeling and interior design and this thread popped up. lol.
I signed up a while back but something didn't work right and couldn't post.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

lol!!!

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Kabwe, nice job on the bathroom. You have to keep them happy. I just painted and put wainscoting for the back splash and on a wall in our kitchen. Although she still does not seem happy! They never are! Now get back in the garage and work on the truck.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Will you just stop. You are making my truck look bad just by posting pictures....

looks really good you are one detailed guy.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

I wish I could stop but man I got to do something with this junk.lol Its an eye sore every time I look out my backdoor.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

looking good kabwe

i got to that point and said f' it, i was tired of sanding. period...

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Beautiful work Bam.
Kim

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

looking good, got to put some color on this truck soon

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Kim can you show more on your door latch mod? thanks Tinker

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Well, that tears it. Bam IS an interior designer!:lol:

But seriously, it looks very well done. What's the first thing you'll get back to on the truck? I seem to remember (distantly) that you had done some final painting.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

You are a perfectionist!

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

I meant BAM<<<< not Kim.....:mm:

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Yeah I thought that many times myself, but I know me. Every time I look at it, it would bother the heck out of me. So I spend a little more time. Its be down this long so what difference does it make is how I look at it.lol

Just because you say so does not make it true.lol Thanks Kim

Who are you telling? You must be trying to start trouble.lol

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

There you go with the jokes.lol Plus your memory is shot. I'm having a block party at my house. I have to get the body work smooth as glass before I even think paint. What is under the paint is more important than the paint itself. A small imperfection will be magnified once painted.

I don't know about that. I just likes what I like.lol
I was wondering. A mind is a terrible thing isn't it.lol
I shaved the doors and installed the bearclaws latches in reverse because I want the solenoid in the cab corner instead of at the bottom of the door. I will have to come up with some kind of manual pull for opening the door from the inside without a remote control. I have ideas but I'm going to keep that to myself until I'm sure it works and looks decent.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Thanks Bam,, the inside opening what is I was concerned with,, I have seen some kind of magnetic hood opening latches but didn't know how it was done. I then thought about maybe some kind of push button on the back side of the cab just around the backside un-seen from the side.. it will be a while before I even try it,, I really want the one piece side window, but want the bear claw latches,, there is not much room for both,,I'm really tire of slamming my doors and I have good factory latches!
I really lost most if not all of my mind....... I'm building a ls6 72 Vega:lol:

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

"You are a perfectionist!"



Now you know im going to have to agree with this one. LOL

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

excellent work bam !!!

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

Bam, nice work on the latches!

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
 

I know you need to shut up and get to work on your own projects, thats one thing I know.lol

Thanks guys.
