Man that Trans looks like it exploded in a thousand pieces. Trans rebuilding I will leave to you.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Actually I'm almost done with it. It much easier than you think. I'm just working with what was already designed and engineered by GM. Just putting pieces back together there is no rocket science in that. Plus you have books and video to help you along the way, man its nothing.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Just recovering from spending a large part of my Saturday evening/ early Sunday morning going through your build again!!!
I think your obvious love of designing and building these trucks epitomizes the best of what we should all be trying to do. That is helping others achieve at least acceptable results, although your results are all exceptional, that would not have been possible without you continually posting basically what you are up to. Really nice work. Thanks for all you do and the way you are doing it! |

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
This is so cool.
Yeah I know some guy is putting these together up in Michigan, but I imagine its on an assembly line with set steps, but this is still pretty neat. as always, keep up the good work. |
