Wouldnt take five seasons. They pay you well enough to to quit your day job plus bonuses, have venders supply you with free parts. Allows you to work on truck full time. Only catch is truck must be done in one season.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Not to mention a fully stocked garage with every tool you can imagine. Man this show is sounding better and better.

It was so easy I was ashamed that I stressed over it. I ended up shortening it a little more than whats in that pic, only about a half inch is sticking out now. Last edited by Kabwe; 03-18-2011 at 09:59 PM. |

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
What are you going to use for a brake booster? i am kicking around the under the cab type but lots of people are saying its a pain and they have issue with the fit. i just like the firewall clean but i want to work too.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
I will be running a hydroboost system under the cab with a remote fill reservoir. I also like the look of a smooth firewall.

Door Repair
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Where did you get the repair panels? and would you get them from there again. Did they come with the hinge nuts in them or is that separate? thanks, looking at your build is like having an instruction manual on-line... Last edited by Rods57; 03-24-2011 at 01:09 AM. |

Where did you get this floor column bulkhead fitting? Is this the same universal ball one I see everywhere? Mine will be going out closer to the toeboard, but I still want that clean look. |

You are correct it is the same universal mount that you see everywhere. I really wish I could have gone through the toeboard like you are going to do, but I did not have that option after the dash transplant. The one I have is a flaming river, I bought it on ebay for 70 bucks I believe. I think you can find them cheaper if you don't go with a name brand one. Last edited by Kabwe; 03-24-2011 at 07:54 PM. |

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Hey Bam: What do u think that you will do for the rear? Bumper or roll pan? I dont know if I am a fan of the roll pans on the market.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
I'm leaning towards a bumper of some sort, but it will not be stocked. I never liked how the stock bumper looked unfinished on these trucks. The stock bumper looks like an after thought. I don't know but I need to start thinking about it.lol

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
I don't like the stock bumpers ether. I like the 70's stepside bumpers better but only a little. I really like the one on the Ironworks 57 but it's a one off custom and I don't have those skills. I don't even like how my homemade roll pan looks and it may come off. I keep looking at the 56 Ford bumper and thinking that being square it fits the rear of these trucks better than the chevy version. I also like the look of the last truck but if you look there is a ton of metal work in that, not just the pan but the whole tail section.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Very nice build. As a newbie around here, I missed the first go build thread. Glad I found this one!

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
hows things going over here??? the snows almost melted and my 57 is starting to reappear from the snow pile. I had my father plow the driveway in such a way that I couldnt get to it until spring. great way to take a break! Been building a 72 roadrunner pro touring car for the last month and making good headway, but missing the trucks. got my 72 almost to the point where shes looking closer to finished, but still got to spend a few more thousands yet. didnt plan on getting this carried away with it. spent some big money on parts and there piling up and awaiting my return.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
in regards to your bumper issues, what about using a 65 mustang front bumper and nip and tuck it for a super clean look! clean, simple to look at, and the only down fall is the hours its going to take! but your crafty.
