Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
The truck will be low as I can get it without bags anyway, but the real reason for the change was awhile back I noticed some interference and I only recently felt like fixing it. I let things marinate in my head sometimes while I work on other things.lol

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
I like that "Marinate" much better than "Stew"!!!

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
You think? Man you should see it in person it's off the chain. I've been seeing it a lot lately. It was at the Signal Hill, Bellflower, and Belmont Shore Shows. Every time I've seen it I like it even more.lol

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Your attention to details is what caught my interest when I first looked at your build, wonderful work! my metal working skills are where I need to improve and work like yours has inspired me to keep at it.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Kabwe, I see you too have an LS motor, could you post some details on the engine/trans, and on the install itself?

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Thanks man, but I don't have any fans, they are just car and truck enthusiast like myself. I know there are a lot of people that don't like what I've done to the truck and that's cool also, but I really appreciate all the compliments.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
thanks for the pics, in the end I would have been better off building my own mounts, trying to mix and match was a pain. what does your firewall and trans tunnel clearance look like?

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
did you use the original firewall tunnel indent when you replaced the firewall sheetmetal? do you have any detail pics of the firewall work?

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Kabwe, I haven't posted on your build thread 'till now. But trust me I've read every word you've posted. You are doing a great job of keeping me motivated on my build. Everytime I hit a wall I take a few minutes and check out your build and get back at mine. Even though I don't have your skills your work makes me want to improve mine.
Sometimes I wish I still lived up there, I went to Inglewood elementry. I used to walk over from our house on 112th and Normandy Ave. To give you an idea how long ago that was I remember the school closing the day they killed Dr King. |

Thank you for all the compliments man sometimes I really don't know what to say. I find it hard to believe that people like the truck that much it just looks like a pile of hard work that's going no where to me sometimes. But you know what they say its nothing to it but to do it, so I will keep chipping away at it. |

and I like the phrase "There's nothing to it but to do it." It was said to me when I bought my first car and it broke the first time. Since then, its almost become my motto for working on things. |

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Dude! The truck is looking great! Hopefully next summer we can hang out together again, but as participants instead of just spectators!
