Hey I am doing pretty good, I have been doing a lot of boring work on the truck...last weekend I burned up about 500 pound of gas welding up misc small holes and missed spots...lol. I am getting the hang of the welder and still have a few things to get finished but I keep plugging at it. I am hoping that I can get it in primer and paint sometime this summer. Yours is looking great, wish I could see it in person. I will be in Cali in Sept but it will be down in Elsinore with the fuel boat. Anyway take care and keep rockin with the truck.

Bernie

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build

I stayed up late last night and read your build front to back and found my self depressed that there wasn't more to read! I woke my wife up cussing as I came to the end of the posts...then I had sweet dreams

Awesome build, I'm very impressed, more like in awe really.

Hurry up and do more to your truck so I can be distracted from the lack of progress on my own jalopy.

Thanks for the compliments and I'm really glad you enjoy the build thread, because I enjoy posting it. I will try to move faster but I working alone and a lack of funds can slow you down sometimes.lol

Thanks again.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build

Well I really don’t have much to post, but I haven’t posted in a while so I thought I would just share what I’ve been up to. I got some primer work done on the roof, rear of the cab and the dash.


I currently working on the interior and decided to start with the dash. I was curious how it would look in primer. After I finish the interior I will remove the cab off the frame (hopefully for the last time ) and do the under carriage and the firewall.

You always have something to post. What you dont think is important, we your loyal fans are sitting back saying I wonder what he is going to do next.
That dash is killer and what a cool brakelight.

Kabwe, It is always good to see it in primer rather than all those different shades of the metal and it also feels the same all over when you run your hand over it. Keep up the great work.

Thanks man and it great to have primer on this thing. I still have some body work to do but its nice to have that epoxy primer on that bare metal. I do filler work over epoxy primer so its all going as planned.
