It didn't mean LITERALLY kicking azz. Hell, I was never any good at that. I won the only two fights I ever had a an adult because I hit first, hard, and got out of there fast! lol.

I meant you were kicking their azzes on paper, uh, er...electronic "paper"

**Dan in Pasadena** · 11-17-2011, 01:21 PM

Bam, Organize a group of the Bam "Faithful" to come over and block the thing all at once. You can stand back, direct, and make sure we don't make your truck look like wavy gravy!

Hell, we all owe you a few for the many, many good ideas we've gotten from your trucks.

Rods57 · 11-17-2011, 01:42 PM

Bam, if I were in CA I would come over tomorrow and bring my blocks, sounds like a great weekend.

Kabwe · 11-17-2011, 02:40 PM

I wonder why only the trouble markers are offering to help.lol

Rod57 you should move to Cali its hotrod weather year around. A lot of the people kind of suck though, but I like cars and dogs a lot more than most people I meet so its cool.lol

We're offering to help becuase of all the love we have for you! Lol.

I would offer to help but I'm alergic to the dust from sanding... I can give you a hand when you're ready to shoot it so I can learn how it's done corrrectly.

trucks looks awesome. I just read through your thread. I am hoping to be starting on a 57 pick-up my father and i started back in '92. Alot of progression has been made since back then. I want to do the mustang II front clip as well. Was it fairly easy to set-up? looking to drop an LS1 in my truck so looking for info on oil pan clearances on the new crossmember.

Hello Blue57,

Welcome to the site and its always nice to have another truck guy on board, especially another Cali guy.

The Mustang II is a really easy install if you can use a tape measure and can weld its a piece of cake.lol

As far as the LS engine and the oil pan I have 2003 5.3 and I used a Camaro/Firebird LS oil pan, pickup Tube, wingtray, and dipstick.

I hope that helps.

Thanks man and keep up the good work

hotrod1 · 11-25-2011, 09:44 PM

Thanks old man. Happy Birthday. Hope you got some time to work on the truck today. I will check out #212. Maybe I will wait for a flaming river. I like the stainless version that Ididit does not offer.

hotrod1 · 11-25-2011, 09:56 PM

Hey, that does look easy. I watched a video that "how its made" did on IDIDIT, and they do not have a D shaft that goes all the way up. They make the D just at the end. I guess I will forget this for now.

candyx · 11-25-2011, 10:10 PM

I had my shorten by ididit,they charge about 100 bucks.

Rods57 · 11-27-2011, 11:26 AM

Hey Bam, i think i remember you saying you had aftermarket outer door skins, but yo made your own? If that's correct, what was the issue with the aftermarket ones? If that's not correct well then i am just crazy....

It was really thin and flimsy in my opinion, so I made my own. Yes you are crazy but that's another subject.lol

bajabob · 11-27-2011, 06:38 PM

I with vdog on the Truck Shop. I was treated pretty badly down there when I was spending cold hard cash (maybe just a disgruntled employee??)....... To many other shops (like Brothers) to buy from.

We need photos........

Well, I don't mean to pile on, but I'm in the middle of a problem with the Truck Shop right now. I think it will be my last order from them.

Ditto on the photos......
